Planning and Quality Management

PQU supports the implementation of the UTS Planning and Quality Management Framework (PQMF). The framework provides a consistent, systematic approach to the University's quality management and integrates quality and planning processes. During 2008 we are reviewing this framework.

PQU's support involves:

• Supporting the University's annual Planning and Budget Cycle, including:
• • supporting strategic planning at UTS, both at the whole of university level (university vision and strategic plan) and at the thematic level ( pan-university enabling plans)
  • supporting annual action planning at the faculty and unit level, and
  • conducting periodic scans of the University's operating context.
• Promoting adoption of the Plan, Do, Review, Improve (PDRI) quality cycle throughout the University, and
• Providing executive support for the Planning and Quality Committee.

For more information on the role of PQU in planning and quality management, please contact the Strategic Planning and Improvement Team.  

Other parts of the University involved in implementing the PQMF include:

• University Senior Executive members who sponsor individual strategic plan strategies and Scorecard KPIs
• Faculty Deans and Unit Directors, who develop annual action plans for their areas
• Directors of support units leading implementation of pan-university support plans, and
• Financial Services and Human Resources Units who work with PQU to integrate the annual planning cycle with budgeting and workforce planning.
