Administrative history
The Office of Planning and Academic Implementation was established in early 1998 to support the Hong Kong Institute of Education’s central planning work, including academic planning, strategic planning, and academic manpower planning. The office collaborated with the Management Information Systems section of the Office of Information Technology and Services to develop a management information system that facilitates strategic and manpower planning within the institute.
Dr Lai Kwok-chan was Head of the Office from its establishment till his retirement in June 2012.

Scope and content
In parallel with the Vision Statement, a Strategic Plan Working Group chaired by Dr KC Pang, the Deputy Director, was established in December 1997, with a mandate to develop a strategic plan for the Institute that would guide short-term and long-term developments and resource allocation.
The Working Group drew upon a large database of views from internal staff and external stakeholders collected through Delphi and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analyses. These analyses, along with a number of open forums, helped shape decisions about the Institute's strategic direction in Strategy 2000: strategic plan for 1999-2004.
In April 2000, the Working Group on the Development of the Strategic Plan was renamed the Advisory Committee on Strategic Planning and Implementation (ACSPI) to better reflect its new focus on providing advice and support to the Directorate on issues relating to the implementation of Strategy 2000.
The Office of the Planning and Academic Implementation (PAI) served as the unit responsible for all logistical support and for carrying out the implementation work required by the Working Group.
Later, in April 2000, PAI Office's role shifted to supporting the Advisory Committee in modifying the "Strategy 2000" to account for contextual changes brought about by reforms in school and tertiary education (in particular, the wide-ranging reform proposals of the Education Commission).
