Administration Portfolio Reporting Cycle

The information below is intended as a guide for Divisional staff, particularly those with managerial responsibility who may be involved in preparing data for metrics and the planning cycle.

University Annual Plan

The University Annual Plan is a summary of the university’s key high level, university-wide objectives and strategies for the coming year. The format of the Annual Plan has been refined to ensure its focus on these high-level, university-wide strategies and their alignment with university academic and other supporting plans and University-wide metric-driven performance indicators. The Administration Portfolio reports to University Council, via University Planning and Statistics (UPS), against key performance indicators and action items contained within the University Annual Plan bi-annually. 2007 Annual Plan

University-wide Internal and Key Performance Indicators

The Key and Internal Performance Indicators give a numerical target for each overall objective in the Administration component of the Annual Plan. The Administration portfolio has a set of internal performance indicators. The portfolio reports on the progress towards these indicators on a yearly basis. The information is requested in September of each year.

Administration Portfolio Metrics

Metrics are performance evaluators that measure numerically the achievement towards a given target. The Administration portfolio is in the process of developing metrics for each Division. This information will be updated.

Divisional Operational Plans

Divisional Operational Plans are developed to encompass the high-level aims of the University, as described in Monash 2025 and also incorporate Academic plans and the Universities Annual Priorities.   Divisional Directors and heads of areas report directly to Vice-President (Administration) on the achievement towards these targets.

Service Level Agreements

Service Level Agreements exist between the Divisions or areas and their internal customers. These are recognised as being in need of updating as they still reflect the structure of SSSD, which is now the split into two areas – the Student and Community Services Division and the Human Resources Division.
