Three Diagnostic Questions�Pelan Strategik 2021-2025

1. Where we are now
• What main outputs/outcomes/impacts have we achieved or missed?
• What gap exists between our actual results and original targets?�
2. What are our issues and opportunities
• What new threats or trends should we watch?
• Map Pains (issues) vs Gains (opportunities) in a simple chart.
• Risks?�
3. How do we close the gap
• Define a few clear strategic themes.
• Identify the capabilities, structures, and cultural changes needed.

Institutional Performance Distribution

Overall Achievement Rate: 59%

​

Matlamat 1 (Student Development): 78% achievement (14 of 18 KPIs)

Matlamat 2 (Research & Innovation): 36% achievement (4 of 11 KPIs)

Matlamat 3 (Industry & Community): 75% achievement (3 of 4 KPIs)

Matlamat 4 (Agriculture): 0% verifiable data (18 KPIs compromised)

Matlamat 5 (Governance): 71% achievement (20 of 28 KPIs)

But glaring issues… (from the data alone)

1. Strategic misalignment

Activities don't produce outcomes, KPIs don't measure objectives. Good plans and operations yield only 59% results because components don't connect causally. Activity-Outcome-Measurement disconnect.

2. Normalized failure without consequence

41% KPI failure rate accepted for 3+ years with no intervention. No triggering action or mitigating plan.

3. Misplaced priorities

Peripheral successes only (e.g. infrastructure 98%, GOT, student programs 300%). Efforts flow to what's easy/visible rather than what's strategic. Siloed measurements reinforce isolation rather than synergy.

4. Unrealistic linear growth

KPI targets assume straight-line improvement (e.g. 2.0→2.3→2.7→3.0 papers/staff) without step-change enablers or catalysts.
