History
The Strategic Planning Office (SPO) was established in early 1998 as the Office of Planning and Academic Implementation (PAI) and retitled the Office of Strategic and Academic Planning (SAAP) in 2005. It was a central planning unit directly overseen by the President and responsible for supporting the senior management in academic planning (e.g. the formulation of Academic Development Proposals), strategic planning, and academic manpower planning. The Office was led by Dr. Lai Kwok-chan throughout, till its closure in July 2012.
