Brick by Brick: Building a Strategic Plan from the Ground Up

Ohio University used an innovative strategic planning process to bring 13 departments, 420+ full-time employees, and 3,200+ student employees together to clarify mission, establish priorities, and set key objectives in order to shape the impact we have on our students. The process will be shared along with strategies to create mission statements and suggestions to keep the planning process alive. Participants will see how methods from industry can be applied in a higher education context and how unique partnerships can help to maintain momentum during the process.
