2 Agenda Resource allocation through budgeting Various budgeting models One approach to strategic resource allocation Assessment through performance measurement Outcome measures Questions, comments, and reactions September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 2
3 Resource Allocation September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 3
4 Ideal Approach Relies on a broadly participative process Integrates resource allocation with planning and assessment Planning driven by established vision All allocation decisions driven by planning priorities Results of allocations assessed regularly and consistently Emphasizes accountability versus control September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 4
5 Vision September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 5
6 What Really Matters? Resources Dollars Positions Space Technology Planning, resource allocation, and assessment must address all four September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 6
7 Budgeting Most familiar aspect of resource allocation Other aspects of resource allocation Space assignment Establishment of technology priorities Process for assigning new positions Any reallocation process Dollars, faculty or staff positions, space, equipment, etc. September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 7
8 Budgeting (contd.) Budget as predictor Integration with GAAP reporting Link to activities i i statement Link to balance sheet Driver of planning Application of ratio analysis Use budget to project Composite Financial Index (CFI) and its components September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 8
9 Budgeting (contd.) All-funds budgeting Unrestricted Restricted (e.g., gifts, endowment income, sponsored research) Approved budget is only a snapshot Process is continuous Always responding to new information Plans, assessment results, etc. September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 9
10 Questions? September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 10
11 Budget Models September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 11
12 Types of Budgets Operating Capital Special linitiativesi i i Restricted Project Departmental And many more September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 12
13 Incremental Formula Zero-based Budget Models Responsibility center Planning, programming, g, and budgetingg Special purpose Initiative-based Performance-based Hybrid September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 13
14 Incremental All budgets are adjusted by a specified percentage either up or down Easy to administer, most efficient model Flawed because it assumes existing allocations are appropriate Not linked to plans and no priorities are set Maintains status quo / mediocrity Fails to leverage opportunities September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 14
15 Formula Resource allocations driven by purely quantitative factors Enrollment, employment, space, etc. More common among public institutions Relatively efficient Flawed unless formulas adjusted for priorities Formulas frequently become outdated September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 15
16 Zero-based Assumes no history and builds from there Identifies activities and related costs Costs vary based on differing i anticipated i outcomes Decisions are made based on the packages of activities and what they ll accomplish September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 16
17 Zero-based (contd.) Fairly labor and paper intensive Difficult to apply consistently Difference between administrative i i and academic activities Rarely applied completely Occasionally used on a cyclical basis September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 17
18 Responsibility Center Numerous terms to describe system of every tub on its bottom Revenue centers own revenues they generate Responsible for expenses both direct and indirect and d pay taxes Cost centers funded from central revenues and taxes September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 18
19 Responsibility Center (contd.) Incentives generally less meaningful for cost centers than revenue centers Risk that some units will act in ways not beneficial to larger institution Governance structures take on greater significance Rarely applied universally September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 19
20 Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS) Focuses on centralized decision-making, a long-range orientation, and systematic analysis of alternative choices based on relative costs and benefits Seeks to link costs to alternative approaches for achieving ggoals for each major activity Positives include ability to group activities by function to obtain output-orientedoriented cost data September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 20
21 PPBS (contd.) Provides ability to estimate future expenses when making multiyear commitments Employs quantitative evaluation supporting selection among competing priorities Significant ifi problems include need for strong centralized management doesn t work with shared governance Difficulty in HE to agree on program and outcomes or assign costs to programs September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 21
22 Initiative-based Special purpose budget model Usually focused on priorities established through planning process Funds taken off the top or generated through reallocation process Usually applied using one-time funds versus continuing commitments September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 22
23 Initiative-based (contd.) Competitive process used to distribute resources Sometimes separate pools for academic and administrative Priorities i i identified, ifi d criteria i established, proposals received Awards made Must incorporate assessment process September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 23
24 Performance-based Special purpose budget model Most common within public settings Performance criteria i established by state department or system office Frequently operates as flavor of the day That is, whatever issue is drawing attention politically September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 24
25 Performance-based (contd.) Portion of available resources reserved for distribution to entities achieving certain levels of performance Usually only a small amount of total resources 1 or 2 percent Intended to drive specific accomplishments Rarely results in sustained improvement September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 25
26 Hybrid Very few pure budget models in use Most are variations or combinations of the models just described Some work in combination Incremental with incentive-based Formula with zero-based on a rotating basis Others simply a hodgepodge that varies from year to year September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 26
27 Questions? September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 27
28 Tool for Strategic Resource Allocation September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 28
29 Strategic Resource Allocation Multiple approaches possible Robert Dickeson s prioritization model Valuable because of holistic i approach Strategic Financial Analysis for Higher Education, Sixth Edition, KPMG, Prager Sealy & Co., LLC, and BearingPoint Focuses solely on academic programs Illustration using sixth edition September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 29
30 Relationship of Finances to Mission i (Quadrants) Financial Performance Q3 Important Q4 Less Important Q1 Critical Q2 Very Important Mission September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 30
31 Relationship of Market to Competencies (Sectors) Market Trends S3 Important S4 Less Important S1 Critical S2 Very Important Internal Competencies September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 31
32 Process Assess all programs on finance / mission and market trends / competencies Plot finance / mission result on quadrants Plot market trends / competencies result on sectors Outcome is one of 16 possible combinations Use the results to make investment / disinvestment decisions September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 32
33 Application Financial Performance and Market Trends Q3 S3 Important Q4 Q4 Less Important Q1 S1 Critical Q2 S2 Very Important Mission and Internal Competencies September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 33
34 Application Q1-S1: Critical High on all (mission / finances; market trends / internal competency) Star programs Define the institution Establish favorable reputation Usually first priority for funding Assess regularly, but never cut September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 34
35 Application Financial Performance and Market Trends Q3 S3 Important Q4 S4 Less Important Q1 S1 Critical Q2 - S2 Very Important Mission and Internal Competencies September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 35
36 Application Q2-S2: Very Important High on mission / competency; low on finances / market trends) Past success; now a resource drain Excellent candidates for partnering If not essential to identity, consider eliminating unless future success can be assured September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 36
37 Application Financial Performance and Market Trends Q3 S3 Important Q4 S4 Less Important Q1 S1 Critical Q2 - S2 Very Important Mission and Internal Competencies September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 37
38 Application Q3-S3: Important High on finances / market trends; low on mission / competency) Cash cows Pose a dilemma They yprovide resources Not consistent with priorities Can you afford to abandon? September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 38
39 Application Financial Performance and Market Trends Q3 S3 Important Q4 S4 Less Important Q1 S1 Critical Q2 - S2 Very Important Mission and Internal Competencies September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 39
40 Application Q4-S4: Less Important Low on all (mission / finances; market trends / internal competency) Requires critical assessment Why does it exist? Is there a reason to expect future success? If not, consider eliminating September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 40
41 Questions? September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 41
42 Assessment September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 42
43 Assessment Planning and resource allocation without assessment are haphazard at best Need assessment to ensure correct decisions are being made Both qualitative i and quantitative i Quantitative provides greatest value Some subjective assessments will always be needed September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 43
44 Performance Management Unique to an institution Focuses on results Action orientation i Based on measurable facts (i.e., data) whenever possible If subjective, strive for consensus September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 44
45 What Metrics Can Do Bring clarity to vision Focus attention on strategy as opposed to short-term term operational considerations Avoid resource allocation decisions focused solely ll on short-term budget needs /issues Highlight strategies to ensure incentives are appropriate September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 45
46 Why Metrics Are Not Used Tendency to focus on projects rather than big picture Concern about scrutiny of pet initiatives Historical lack of accountability or penalty for poor performance Vulnerability to attack and misinterpretation if not done effectively or misused September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 46
47 Why Metrics Are Not Used (contd.) No executive champion Measurement is difficult Most common measures from for-profit fi sector don t fit higher education Some activities not susceptible to routine quantification September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 47
48 Effective Assessment Enhances communication about strategy Leads to better focus / alignment of activities with strategies Enables organizational improvement Furthers progress toward vision i Puts focus on priorities; improves resource allocation decisions September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 48
49 Mission Measures Assess effectiveness of mission-based outcomes Unique to each institution based on its specific mission / vision When mission i is not measurable Establish goals representative of mission accomplishment and measure those September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 49
50 How Metrics are Used Link budgets to plans Compare to peers / aspirants Conduct longitudinal lanalysis Effect mid-course corrections take action Report / discuss with management, internal stakeholders, and interested external constituents September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 50
51 Questions? September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 51
52 Outcome Measures September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 52
53 Outputs Services or products provided by the institutioni i Output measures tend to be easy to quantify Generally focus on quantity of service or product provided May or may not address concept of quality September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 53
54 Outcome An institution s impacts on the external environment or the value it provides through h its products or services Outcome measures consider impacts and accomplishments resulting from providing a service or product Key word is results September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 54
55 Assessment Requires the generation of data Data can be objective or subjective / hard or soft Hard objective data include facts and actual measures related to the activity E.g., number of graduates September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 55
56 Assessment (contd.) Soft objective data include estimates or projections of measures related to the activity E.g., estimated number of graduates in 2010 September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 56
57 Assessment (contd.) Hard subjective data include perceptions, attitudes, opinions, i etc. as measured by validated instruments E.g., results of written satisfaction surveys conducted with alumni five years after graduation September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 57
58 Assessment (contd.) Soft subjective data include qualitative information i presented in narrative form E.g., a report of the results of interviews with graduates conducted immediately following graduation September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 58
59 Developing Outcome Measures Outcome measures can be hard or soft / objective or subjective Process requires a forward / backward focus Forward focus identifies the desired impacts / value sought Backward focus starts with identified impact / value, then considers what effort will produce that impact September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 59
60 Questions September 23, 2008 Campus Strategies 60
