The Assignment

• Consensually define a mission statement for The Heller College of Business

The Outcome

• Relied on D-Cube™ (web-enabled Delphi Technique) to efficiently gather faculty input
• Over multiple e-Delphi-rounds, faculty reached consensus on the mission statement, without meeting face-to-face
• The e-Delphi process allowed faculty to express views anonymously, objectively, anytime and from anywhere
• Faculty, including those initially skeptical, actively participated and came to own the process and the mission
• Roosevelt continues to rely on the D-Cube™ to facilitate other assessment activities without faculty having to meet face-to-face
