Strategic Planning

Planning 2024 and Beyond

Sunset behind ColusaPresident Steve Perez has appointed a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to help guide the development of a new strategic plan. The committee will be gathering input from the campus community in 2024 as we begin to create Chico State’s “playbook, "inspired by Patrick Lencioni's book,  The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business.

Questions we will answer:
  1. Why do we exist? (Core Purpose)
  2. How do we behave? (Core Values)
  3. What do we do? (University Definition)
  4. How will we succeed? (Strategic Anchors)
  5. What are we building? (Strategic Initiatives)
  6. Who must do what? (Roles & Responsibilities)
