Dear OU-COM students, faculty, and staff members,

This message is an update on the OU-COM strategic plan, and an invitation to you to read the plan and participate in this year’s strategic planning process. You will find the current version of the plan on the web at:

http://www.oucom.ohiou.edu/strategicplan/OU-COM_strat_plan_9-2-03.pdf

After a year of hard work, the Strategic Planning Committee chaired by John Howell, Ph.D. issued its final report in October, 2002. That report identified 10 issues facing the College, and specified goals to be accomplished under each issue. Since that time, the Dean’s Advisory Group has revised the College mission statement and reorganized some of the goals listed under the 10 issues.

Page 2 of the plan lays out the strategic planning schedule for 2003-04. In brief, various groups within OU-COM will be asked to concentrate on one issue each, to accomplish the following tasks:

By December 1, 2003, the assigned groups will devise methods to measure progress toward, or accomplishment of, each goal listed under the 10 strategic plan issues. For example, the Curriculum Advisory Committee will create measurement criteria for each of the six goals listed under issue 7: Curriculum Theme. The Dean’s Advisory Group will then review the recommended measures or benchmarks.

By February 15, 2004, the assigned groups will devise one or more action plans to accomplish each strategic plan goal. The Dean’s Advisory Group will review the recommended action plans, which will then be used in budgetary and programmatic planning for the 04-05 year and beyond.

Even if you are not asked to participate in a strategic plan issue group, these groups will be looking for input and assistance this Fall to determine how to measure the strategic plan goals, and in the Spring, to devise the best action plan(s) to achieve each goal. We will publicize the membership of these groups shortly.

One final note: a CORE strategic planning group, chaired by Ms. Kathy Rice from South Pointe Hospital, is working on a strategic plan specific to the CORE system. Hospital and College personnel are meeting frequently to develop this strategic plan. I will also share this plan with you when it is completed. We will work closely with the CORE on issues that are common between the two strategic plans

Sincerely,

Jack Brose
Dean, OU-COM
