Governance and Implementation
Governance
Budget model governance is an essential factor and the key to success throughout the three implementation phases of revenue-based budgeting at the University.
The three implementation phases for revenue-based budgeting at Clemson are Design, Shadow and Go Live.

Clemson University's Values
Along with the RBB guiding principles, the University's values speak to Clemson's unique culture and remain at the forefront of supporting this smart, modernized budgeting process.






Implementation
Implementation Phase I – Design
Design charge: Develop guiding principles and a recommended framework for the new budget model.
A Steering Committee representing colleges and departments from across the University investigated and developed an ideal revenue-based funding model framework to support Clemson’s strategic priorities and three mission areas: teaching, research and outreach. The committee met from 2022 to 2023.

Implementation Phase II – Shadow
Shadow charge: Test draft model framework alongside the current budget to identify needed adjustments.
Clemson has established a Transition Advisory Council (TAC) to support the “shadow” phase of implementation. The TAC members focus on gathering data and designing key business processes aligned to the new budget model framework while adjusting considerations made in the budget design stage.
As members of the TAC, Deans and administrative leaders review outputs and make recommendations for any adjustments to the model framework.

Governance will continue to be our most vital asset for future success.
