The committee divided the Plan preparation into seven stages:
- The Planning Stage that aims at preparing the University for Participation in and contribution to the plan.
- The Diagnostic Stage that requires the diagnosis of the University environment and analysis of its strategic situation, defining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges laying ahead.
- The Analysis Stage that is concerned with analyzing international and national trends and the general contexts affecting the strategic plan.
- The Orientation Stage where workshops results get the rector’s approval, and the general approaches towards the University issues are clearly defined.
- The Draft Stage where a draft of the strategic plan is developed.
- The Approval Stage that requires the University Council approval of the plan and publishing it afterwards.
- The Project Stage where initiatives and projects are set and procedures are taken for their implementation.
Dr. Rukban pointed out that the first three stages will be implemented by three teams: a team for studying the national trends in the Kingdom, a team for studying the international trends and future changes, and a team for diagnosing the environment at the University.
Concluding his speech, Dr. Rukban called for action from each member in order to achieve the desired success at Majmaah University.
