Alutto Presentation to the Ohio State Board of Trustees April 6, 2012 A Strategic Plan for The Ohio State University Ohio State’s future will be defined and driven by the university’s move from excellence to eminence, a transition that will bring benefits to the citizens of Ohio. Making that move requires a strategic vision and a clear path for achieving it. Strategic planning establishes the guideposts that will mark our journey toward eminence, and it provides opportunities to assess our steps along the way. By adopting a One University planning approach, with full alignment of activities at all university levels, and applying a rigorous and collective set of measures, we will multiply our efforts and impact—and ensure that The Ohio State University remains vital, sustainable, and accountable to the citizens of Ohio and the Nation. To attain this goal over the next ten years The Ohio State University will be making significant incremental investments in faculty, the student experience, facility improvements, and financial stewardship of resources. Overview Over the past two years Ohio State has engaged in a number of significant long-term planning exercises to prioritize the university’s most important goals and objectives and to guide strategic decision-making for the next decade. Our planning efforts have engaged the entire university, from the Board of Trustees to academic units. These processes have developed in parallel, integrating as we have moved forward, and have yielded information that is guiding us along the path to eminence. The university is now ready to implement the outcome of these efforts. Our planning approach is founded on Ohio State’s common vision, mission, and values as well as our four core goals and a focus on three discovery themes that will inform activities throughout the university. Vision The Ohio State University will be the world’s preeminent public comprehensive university, solving problems of world-wide significance.
