Planning Process
We want Administrators to get a sense of our structured planning process and the elements of our unique concept which are fully customizable to the needs of your students and your institution.
The Initial Planning Process
1. ALL VITAL & ESSENTIAL UNIVERSITY OFFICERS visit with one or more of our company principals for sixty minutes to consider:
a. Concept overview & comprehensive 20 minute visual presentation.
b. Significant value add for university marketing as it relates to:
- The admissions process marketing campaign.
- Comprehensive, unique approach to improve quality of student life.
- Credible effort to curb rising costs of attending higher education.
- Multi-faceted effort to reduce carbon footprint, promote sustainability, and promote environmental stewardship.
c. Enormous quantifiable financial savings for students and paradigm shift in the way that students secure their residence hall essentials.
d. Considerable environmental impact as it relates to fuel consumption, and consumer waste.
e. Review product quality, suitability, & value proposition.
Because of the unique nature of our concept and our value proposition, it is imperative that all interested parties attend the initial presentation. Particularly those who need to feel comfortable with the concept for authorization and approval purposes.
2. Assess specific product needs, customization if necessary, and determine budget for roll-out.
a. Critical product review, by category, bundled package, pricepoint & savings comparison.
b. Determine appropriateness for the physical needs of unique housing options and situations. Delete, add, or modify as necessary.
3. Identify and define the unique needs of the institution. Identify specific & distinctive logistical, hierarchical, and purchasing issues. Define clearly the approval process and invite immediate participation of decision makers, if not already present.
a. Share logistical and operational organizational chart or information to streamline the communications process. This aides in direct, open communication which honors the structure of the institution, it’s employees, and chain of command.
b. Define owners and stake-holders in the organizational structure, so that all are informed and have input from concept launch through completion.
