Abstract
This chapter outlines reasons why many strategic plans fail. A strategic thinking methodology, grounded in philosopher Bernard Lonergan’s Generalized Empirical Method, is introduced as a way of developing a strategic plan that avoids pitfalls that prevent success. Lonergan’s experientially based epistemology is ideal for assessing the current reality and developing unique solutions that make sense for at-risk universities, in particular. The overall objective of the methodology is innovation that constitutes a transformative moment for these institutions.
