Institutional Response Plan

An institutional response plan is prepared based on improving service delivery in the organization (Banerjee et al., 2018). This plan entails a detailed framework of how the institution will utilize the available resources and any future available resources to meet the needs of the organization (Dhanani, 2019). The needs of the institution in this context are particularly focused on the educational affairs of the students. We feel the need to reassure the school stakeholders that the school is committed to students' Excellency through the development of a new science wing that will be concentrate on creating an enabling environment for students to put their innovate ideas into practice.

Objectives of the plan

· To ensure that all students are provided with equal opportunities in and out of the school environment.

· To see to it that each student’s natural talents and potential are uncovered and nurtured by the system.

· To give students unlimited access to the school’s resources.

· To synchronize the available man-power (teaching and non-teaching staff) with the needs of the students.

· To make all forms of learning by the students to be the most prioritized objective of the institution.

· To utilize the available resources for the success of the students and the school.

Nature of the plan

· The plan is based on the optimum utilization of available resources.

· The plan has evaluated the current and future needs of the Institution and the students alike.

· The plan is very specific about its goals and objectives.

· This document coordinates the efforts of all the school’s departments.

· The plan acknowledges the importance of manpower as a driving factor.

Specific recommendations

· We recommend that the institution should adopt an advanced technology setup that would help the students to come up with competitive innovations that can match the current market requirements.

· This paper also recommends that the institution should develop an informative program that can be used to educate the students about the importance of participating in innovation programs.

· We recommend that innovation resources should be provided to the students on a ratio of at least, one station per two students.

· We recommend that the plan should be implemented within a period of one academic year, after approval.

Required Resources

· The plan will require an additional staffing of two technical assistants to work in the laboratory section.

· Creating the extra work stations would mean that the school will allocate the science department an extra laboratory room.

· The working stations should also be furnished with modern technology and infrastructure that would ease the operations.

· The current budget for establishing the modern workstations is estimated at $150,000, while the cost of acquiring the new infrastructure and technology is estimated at $200, 000. Other costs, including the cost of acquiring new staff should be allocated a budget of $100,000.

Nature of Financing

The plan requires a total of $450, 000 for full implementation. The science department is expected to raise half of this amount through a charity dinner. We will write a proposal to the school board so that it can facilitate the remaining amount through its annual allocation budget to the school departments.
