Griffith adopted its current 2006-2010 Strategic Plan (PDF 1.76mb) in 2005. The Strategic Plan:

• Identifies the core areas of activitiy as learning and research, with staffing, resources and facilities clearly aligned in support of the core areas
• Expresses clear targets for the core areas, where possible, in terms of benchmarks with the rest of the sector (for example, top 30% by Field of Education)
• Ensures targets are scaleable to different levels of the University, so that performance can be tracked at University, group, faculty and school level

Griffith's Planning Framework depicted above consists of a series of linked plans and policies that guide the implementation of its strategic priorities. These plans are implemented in groups and divisions, and progress toward targets reviewed, through the University's annual planning and review cycle.
