Dear OU-COM students, faculty,
staff, and friends,
The OU-COM Strategic Plan (see
http://www.oucom.ohiou.edu/strategicplan) will
be the basis for allocating College resources to new
initiatives for the 04-05 fiscal year. With guidance
from the Dean's Advisory Group, I have completed the
task of prioritizing elements (specific goals or
measures) of the Plan that are the most URGENT to
act upon for the 04-05 year. Every issue, goal, and
measure in the Plan is IMPORTANT, but several
elements have risen to the top in discussions in
terms of URGENCY for the coming year.
In the
linked document (pdf file), selected Strategic
Plan elements are sorted into four groups by level
of urgency for action in 04-05, from "Group 1" (most
urgent) to "Group 4" (less urgent). Within each
priority group, the elements are not prioritized;
they are simply listed in the order in which they
appear in the plan. For example, Group 1, the most
urgent items, contains elements from strategic plan
issues 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 11, listed in the order in
which the elements appear in the Plan.
Now we must begin the process of allocating
resources to the most urgent and cost-effective
strategic plan elements for the 04-05 year. To
determine the cost-effectiveness of strategic plan
elements, I need an estimate of cost for each
element. Therefore, I've asked the
Strategic Planning Issue Groups to provide such
a cost estimate in the form of an action plan for
each prioritized element.
The action plan for each circled element will
include:
- A brief description of what needs to be
done.
- Management, in terms of which office or
faculty/staff member(s) would take the lead on
the action plan.
- Measurement, in terms of how progress could
be measured at the end of the 04-05 year (even
for multi-year projects).
- Cost estimates, in terms of:
- time required of existing staff and faculty
(preferably in fte terms)
- startup or other one-time-only costs, if any
(for new equipment, etc.)
- ongoing costs, if any (for annual
maintenance, ongoing new salary costs,etc.)
I've asked for action plans by mid-June if at all
possible. Otherwise, summer schedules may delay
action plan development beyond the point of
usefulness for 04-05 fiscal planning. Please feel
free to contact Strategic Plan Issue Group members
if you have suggestions concerning action plans for
elements of the plan that have been prioritized as
urgent for 04-05. Doug Mann is facilitating the
ongoing strategic planning process; please contact
him if you have questions.
Thank you for your participation in this critical
planning process.
Sincerely,
Jack Brose, Dean
