IV.  Priority objective mapping to new plan

A.  PC discussed the prioritization process from last spring

B.  Budget process relies on these priority recommendations, but the priorities were based on a plan that will have been replaced by the time the budgets are allocated. Those priorities were influential in writing the new plan draft.  PC can conduct a mapping exercise to update the recommendations from last spring’s process

C.  PC members discussed extensively and propose the following map of strategic priorities, based on the objectives that PC prioritized last spring (see attached summary)

1.  Priority Objective L1 → Goal 1.3

2.  Priority Objective D.2 → Goal 2.2 and Goal 2.4

3.  Priority Objective D3 → Goal 1.2

4.  Priority Objective S1 → Goal 3.3

3.  Recommend, with Budget Council, incentives for unit-level planning and alignment, e.g. requiring FY21 budget requests to align with MSU and unit plans

4.  Identify possible groups, individuals, and offices, for the follow-on planning specified in the MSU plan (e.g. sustainability plan)

5.  Promote MSU strategic plan internally (e.g. printed material) to raise visibility of Mission, Vision, Values and Intentional Focus Areas

6.  Work with Budget Council on assessment of investment coverage and program outcomes
