Budget Transformation Initiative

Building a Vision-Aligned Budget Framework

Since launching the Next-Gen K-State strategic plan, we have seen tremendous accomplishments, success and growth of university priorities and initiatives. We are providing students with a top-notch academic experience, driving impactful innovative research, and creating a positive impact in Kansas and the world — and we must build a budget model and framework that continues to drive us forward together.

The Budget Transformation Initiative is the practical, behind-the-scenes work that will allow us to expand opportunities for learners, grow research and discovery, deepen engagement across Kansas and pursue operational excellence as One K-State. From a 50,000 foot view, this initiative will produce a framework that leverages several factors to:

• Reward growth and performance in a way that aligns with our strategic plan.
• Invest in people — especially compensation — through a planned, phased approach.
• Modernize systems and infrastructure so we can operate as a Next-Gen university.
• Pursue operational excellence as One K-State.
• Strengthen research competitiveness and stability.
