Strategic Plan Development Team’s Message

DAU’s Second Strategic Plan (2023-2027) developed using the Balanced Scorecard framework (BSC). The BSC is a strategic planning and performance management framework that helps organizations translate their vision and strategy into a set of measurable goals and objectives. It was developed by Drs. Robert Kaplan and David Norton in the early 1990s and has since been adopted by organizations of all sizes and industries. We deliberately adopted the BSC to project our long-term planning across a balanced set of objectives covering four perspectives: finance, stakeholders, internal processes, and learning & growth. The BSC relates the strategic objectives, KPIs, and initiatives and provides a complete map of DAU’s strategic plan, through which the action plans are defined. The strategy map of the BSC, visually represents the cause-and-effect relationships between different strategic objectives and provides a powerful framework for communicating DAU’s strategies to all stakeholders.

              The development of DAU’s strategic plan 2023-2027 was conducted through an elaborate strategic review process that involved an array of DAU’s stakeholders, including faculty, staff, academic leaders, students, alumni, and all major external stakeholders to ensure proper participation in this important future shaping project.

              For an ambitious positioning of Dar Al Uloom University, we build on our existing strengths and opportunities focusing on enhancing student learning experiences, community engagement, strategic partnerships, institutional governance, and enhancing DAU’s perception and sustainability.
