This paper examines the linkage between strategic formation and organizational performance at State University. The researchers used a descriptive research design to collect data from 50 respondents’ administrative staff to assess their perceptions of the effective implementation of strategic planning processes in achieving institutional goals. Therefore, the results suggest a close relationship between university performance and the formulation and implementation of strategic planning, while elements such as leadership methodologies and client feedback vary significantly between groups. The findings were that in general, overall perceptions of strategic planning are “excellent” but still require specific areas of enhancement, primarily in career path communication and resource allocation. Recommendations under this area include better articulation of career opportunities, enhancing feedback mechanisms, investing in leadership training, and increasing stakeholder engagement in strategic planning processes. The study contributes to our understanding of the impact of strategic planning on organizational performance in higher education and provides practical insights for university administrators intent on improving their strategic initiatives.
