Ecosystem Mapping & Strategic Planning

“Great survey, I’d like to see us do this again and use this as a model for other assessments of this nature.”

—Senior Administrator,

The Ecosystem Mapping & Strategic Planning process takes inventory of the institution’s social entrepreneurship education landscape and surveys the campus community. Ashoka U produces a customized report that analyzes stakeholder alignment and recommends high-impact areas for future program development.

During a one-day campus visit, Ashoka U presents the survey findings and facilitates community dialogues and strategic planning sessions. The Ecosystem Mapping & Strategic Planning process helps to build current activities into a more cohesive cross-campus whole and offers strategic direction for future program development.

Targeted to your institution’s strategic goals, needs, and current programs, the process will:

• Engage the campus community with social entrepreneurship
• Present a clear sense of your institution’s current social entrepreneurship education landscape
• Reveal and address campus stakeholder perceptions via survey findings and facilitated dialogue
• Highlight strengths of your social entrepreneurship activities to promote institutional buy-in
• Reveal high-impact and community-priority areas for action and further program development
• Develop a clear vision, tangible goals, campus commitment, and concrete next steps for strengthening and growing your institution’s social entrepreneurship education program
