Strategic Plan
• Mission statement
• SWOT
• 26 strategic Goals, Profil 2020 with indicators/milestones
• Strategic projects
• Objectives for each subject in research, teaching, young
researchers training, staff development and 3rd mission
• Measures in 9 crossing themes
• Resources
• Basis for performance agreements
• Results of the research evaluation
• Workshops on structural developments with the deans
• Internal benchmarking: Comparison of subjects in figures of teaching,
research, young researchers training and staff development
• External benchmarking: Comparison with similar other Austrian universities
with selected (available) indicators
• SWOT based on the metioned Analysis
• Workshop with Rectorate, Council and Deans
• Internal consultation process (for all emplioyers and student
represenattaives) on the draft version of the strategic plan
Development of the
Strategic Plan 2013-2018
Planning, Budgeting & Strategy
• In budgeting and staff planning results from strategy planning and
key indicators are considered.
• The yearly budgeting process is determined through quality related
indicators.
• Budget allocation and staff planning are checked against the PA.
• Permanent senior positions (professors, associate professors) are
part of the strategic planning. The decision is based on criteria set
in the strategic plan.

System of Performance Agreements
Objectives of
Performance Agreements
• Transparency of common expectations and duties
• Implementation of strategic goals including the follow up
measures of the research evaluation
• Fulfillment of the commitments of the Performance
Agreement (State)
• subject-specifis objectives and indicators
• no linear increase, indicators depending on staff size
• Overfulfillment of objectives generates incentives
Elements of PA
• Strategic objectives, academic profiles, university development
• Corporatly agreed actions
• Whole activity fields (staff development, research, study programmes, internationality, community services etc.)
- Present activities
- additional projects and measures
• Criteria for objective measuring
- Objectives and milestones
- Integrated key performance figures
• Ressources (esp. EURO)
• Consequences, Accounting, Monitoring
Lessons learnt
Performance Agreements
• Strategic Profile and Feedback
• Establish connection between Staff and University
• Consistent, synchronized management tool
• Increase of binding character
• Consequences of doing and non-doing
• Transparency, Incentive systems
• Orientation
• about institutional and individual expectations (targets and performance)
• Acknowledge and honore individual performance
• Advance learning culture and potentials
• Trust in planning
• Universitywide planning decissions
• Departemental development planning
• Individual performance planning
Relevance of internal reporting
• Comprehensive reporting system (internal/external, financial/non financial, etc.)
• Reporting as central component of the steering and
quality management
• Steering questions:
What wants the rectorate to steer?
Which indicators are needed therefore?
What should the deans & institutes know?

Quality Topics Act on Quality Assurance in Higher Education (2012)
Quality Audit (7 years, universities) by EQAR-agency
1. Quality strategy and its integration into the management
tools of the higher education institution;
2. Quality assurance structures and procedures in
• degree programmes and teaching,
• research
• organisation and administration and staff;
3. integration of internationalisation and societal objectives
into the quality management system;
4. information systems and involvement of stakeholder
groups.
