Vital Focus

"Vital Focus is a package consisting of an online survey of all institutional employees and a series of on-campus conversations about institutional strengths and opportunities. A Commission-selected and trained visiting facilitator stimulates the on-campus discussions. Vital Focus can serve as a tool for engaging the entire campus community by having everyone collaborate in thinking up Action Project ideas that can initiate the institution's quality program. The Vital Focus process lasts 6-8 months."

From The Academic Quality Improvement Program, "Self-Assessing Your Organization, Variety of Self-Assessment Processes Acceptable," December, 2005
