How will we meet our strategic goals?

We have a Strategic Plan, so what next? Following their All-Staff Meeting panel session, Libraries Cabinet are working with their portfolios to identify activities that meet our articulated goals.

This work is currently happening in a series of tiered discussions, where associate and assistant deans are convening with their directors and departments to answer the following questions:

• What are we already doing that advancing our strategic goals?
• What key actions does the Libraries need to take to achieve our goals?
• Where can we collaborate or integrate at institutional levels to enable us to achieve our goals?

Here are a few examples of how we are beginning to address these questions:

• Research & Learning Services engaged in an all-staff meeting discussion to surface new and ongoing activities.
• Collections & Content directors convened to consider how current activities correspond to the directions and goals.
• Administrative Services staff met together to reflect on how their work supports two strategic directions: “Enhance Equitable Environments” and “Grow as a Learning Organization.”

What about you? How will your work advance our strategic goals? What actions and opportunities do you envision? Your comments are welcome!
