VI.
The “Knowing-Doing Gap” – Learning Activity (60 minutes)
(See Attachments C and D.)
Recently, the Council amended the Institutional Effectiveness diagram to make
explicit the execution of our plan (Attachment C).
As we execute the plan, the literature tells us that many organizations fail to act
on what they know, labeled as the “Knowing-Doing Gap” by two Stanford
University professors, Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton, in their book published
by the Harvard Business School Press in 2000.
The Council is asked to read the attached summary of key points and excerpts
from Pfeffer and Sutton’s book (Attachment D). We will break into small groups
to discuss what Valencia can do to close “Knowing-Doing Gaps” that could
inhibit our progress in executing our strategic plan. As the authors advise,
knowing that “Knowing-Doing Gaps” exist is not enough; we have to do
something about the gaps.
VI.
Next Meeting Date and Time (5 minutes) – Jane Wiese
The Big Meeting originally scheduled on March 20 will be moved to a summer
