The big picture
An opportunity to pause and consider the big picture Tactics are about making decisions when you have to act. Strategy is about making decisions when you don t have to act. -Garry Kasparov

Before we begin Any questions, nagging or otherwise?
Values
Some context Discussion of values can be a challenge because we often have different definitions in our heads In an environment of rapid change values take on greater meaning We often retreat to our values in moments of crisis
Organizational values: a definition Values are the standards that guide our collective conduct in a variety of settings. They represent the core principles within the organization s culture. While circumstances may change, ideally values do not.

Strategy Strategic Directions and goals
a curve ball 1. The state chancellor's office just released new requirements regarding the alignment of local strategic goals to system goals 2. Our task today is to discuss these statewide system goals within the context of our local environment and local trends 3. We will look at some environmental data and have a conversation on how we might best incorporate these systems goals into our planning. How do we make them our own?
Context Local Environmental data
Data themes 1. County population continues to grow steadily 2. Long period of economic growth; we operate in a countercyclical market 3. We serve three distinctively different service areas (West, Central and East County) 4. High School enrollments should continue to be strong for 3 to 4 more years 5. Adult learners with some college are our biggest student population segment 6. First generation and Hispanic students are fastest growing

What the environmental themes tell us 1. We can expect continued population growth over the next five years 2. However, a recession is likely coming 3. Challenges and opportunities will be experienced differently at each college 4. High School graduates will peak soon and then begin to decline 5. We can expect continued growth in adult learners and first generation students 6. State legislation is incentivizing completion and workforce outcomes
Strategic Goals Enter the State Chancellor s Office
