Confirmation of existing mission and values. Analysis of previous strategy. Ask for funds for democratic review and survey of students. - Stakeholder consultation and development of Strategic Analysis paper - now until April Board (27th April. Circulation date 15th April). Discuss democratic review? This is the key element that I want to get right. - Synergising and synthesis of key themes. Options appraisal- April until June. Further consultations with key (senior) stakeholders and discussion at Board Away Day (29th June, paper circulation 17th June) - July to September - finalisation of Plans ## Critical Questions - What are the limits of empowerment? - Does [[Empowerment]] ultimately lead to better/ more sustainable outcomes? Is there any ambiguity here on when this happens? - Do we want to specify (possibly through our Vision?) WHICH barriers to learning we will confront and lead on!? YES! x ## Key Performance Indicators 1. 100% of USSU staff can name our Mission, Vision and Values 2. Senior Stakeholders can name our Mission and Vision when asked ## Resources - [[Strategy is the long term direction of an organisation|Strategy]] - The 4 V's - [[USSU Strategy 2018-21]] ## Force Field Analysis *Who is for this change and who is against it? Why?* - Board is likely to be unaware of the work that went into the previous strategy - ## To consider What other options are there? How would we have approached this if we were... - Netflix, Peleton, Moderna, Walmart, Pfizer, Tesla, MABE etc. ## Checklist - [x] I've considered how this project will be delivered and who is required to deliver it - [x] I've created a task to review the project after completion ✅ 2023-07-26 - [x] I've considered if I need a communications plan. ✅ 2023-07-26
