• AQIP Strategy Forum Summary
• The AQIP Strategy Forum provided an opportunity
  for Colleges to learn a great deal from each
  other about how each College is implementing
  quality throughout their institution.
• The 4 days were filled with a variety of
  activities, some involving all colleges, others
  clusters of colleges, and yet other activities
  provided time for each individual college to
  reflect and plan their quality journey.
• The Moraine Park team spent time
• Identifying and prioritizing key critical issues
  within the College.
• Discussing and identifying key processes within
  the College and strategies for how to measure,
  benchmark and improve our processes.
• Working on future action project topics.
• And finally a significant amount of time was
  spent in discussion and planning for the future
  of quality at Moraine Park including the
  development of a blueprint for continuous
  improvement and the identification of our vision
  for improvement. Along with the vision for
  improvement we identified the most critical tasks
  necessary to move the College forward in our
  quality efforts.

The Team Reviewed Five Critical Tasks Quality
Culture and Process Define the process by which
quality projects / initiatives are selected,
managed and celebrated. This includes promoting a
culture of quality and continuous improvement
throughout the College. We want all of Moraine
Parks staff to be Qualateers who speak fluent
Qualatese. Quality Leadership Succession
Begin efforts to find a replacement for Moraine
Parks outgoing Outcome Assessment/AQIP

essential to find a replacement with strong
quality improvement skills who can hit the
ground running to move Moraine Parks culture of
quality forward. Quality Webpage Design and
implement a new Moraine Park quality program
website. The website will highlight quality
improvement efforts at the College, including
