  • Identify reasons for needing a master plan, considering both external and internal factors, and develop advocacy to secure support from university administration, collaborate with key partners, and engage stakeholders as champions; and
  • Assess the resources and efforts needed for a master plan, outline outcomes and engagement levels, and strategically leverage the plan to kickstart a successful development campaign.
