Strategic Plan Overview
In AY23, the Libraries will continue working on the three goals from AY21 and AY22. Five action-oriented initiatives are aligned with these three goals.
Goal 1: Develop talent, resources, and experiences to facilitate an inclusive community.
Goal 2: Transform the Libraries’ environment and user-centered experience to anticipate evolving modes of learning.
Goal 3: Forge meaningful partnerships that foster affordability, ensure relevancy, and cultivate life-long connections.
Teams will continue to take intentional steps to align the work they are completing with MiamiRISE as well as support DEI initiatives.
Catalyst '22 Outcomes
Last year's iteration of the Strategic Plan produced amazing outcomes! To learn more, visit the AY22 Strategic Plan Outcomes page (https://libguides.lib.miamioh.edu/strategic-planning/AY22-outcomes).
You can also learn more in the Catalyst AY22 Final Report.
The strategic plan progress dashboard is maintained monthly. It is a visual representation of how each workgroup is progressing.
Overall Progress represents the cumulative progress for every action on the strategic plan.
Goal Progress represents the progress for all aspects of that goal.
Initiative Progress represents the progress for all aspects of that initiative. Goal 2 and Infrastructure Improvements will show the same progress, as well Goal 3 and External Funding, as there is one initiative for both Goal 2 and Goal 3.
Each initiative is broken into objectives, or smaller tasks, to help achieve the initiative. Objective Progress (found in the Dashboard document, not pictured below) represents the progress for all tasks within an initiative objective.

The second Business Review for Catalyst was held Tuesday, March 7. Workgroups shared updates, we discussed what was needed to finish the year strong, and participants were encouraged to consider if current initiatives had any potential to transform into a new initiative in AY24.
