A bit of background... - Strategic Planning in the Division of O&E

Purpose of the Division of Outreach & Engagement’s Strategic Plan

Demonstrate the Division’s alignment with OSU’s Strategic Plan 3.0
Demonstrate the Division’s alignment with various stakeholders and anticipate the future for those stakeholders
Guide the way units in the Division do their outreach and engagement work and operate more generally (as opposed to guide what they do, topically).
Provide bold new development/growth opportunities for the way units in the Division operate and engage with clientele (learners and other external entities)
Help units see how their current strategies are contributing to the achievement of the Division’s goals. Help them see how they port into the Division.
Help units identify/determine if new ideas or strategies they are contemplating or get presented to them will contribute to the Division’s goals
Foster a common culture and set of values across Division
Spark innovation
Inform the development of the 2017 biennium legislative package

Once the plan is complete the goals should remain stable, but the strategies should be flexible so that units can adjust or add to them throughout the 5 year implementation phase
Outline should be:
- Mission (same as the 2009 Division Strategic Plan)
- Vision (same as 2009)
- Core Service offerings
- Strategic Goals
- Broad Strategies
Diversity, Equity & inclusion should be embedded in each strategic goal area within the broad strategies

OSU SP 3.0
Inclusion of stakeholders’ perspectives: University leadership, Public agency siblings, NGOs that do similar work to us and partner with us, Funders (NIFA, legislators, counties), Learners, Internal faculty & staff
Whether or not the 2009 strategic plan goal areas are still the right ones for the Division
Creation/development of shared values for Division
Creation of strategies for achieving goals
