University Strategic Planning
天天吃瓜 utilizes a well-known framework to support the development of our divisional strategic plans. The GOST framework provides divisions with a consistent approach to strategy development and implementation. This framework also supports easier coordination and alignment across the university鈥檚 planning efforts.
What is the GOST Framework?
The GOST Model is a framework for goal setting to support strategy success. Very simply, GOST is your plan for what you are trying to achieve and how you are going to achieve it.
The GOST framework is fostered by Rich Horwath, founder of the Strategic Thinking Institute (2009).
How does it work?
The GOST model includes four components: Goals, Objectives, Strategies, and Tactics. This quadrant chart displays the GOST model, comparing the varying levels of detail of each of the four elements and the requirements that each must adhere to.
