Research Results
Findings:
• The Strategic framework process is in line with:
B&F Goals
the President’s vision
and is favorably comparable to our peers
• Emergent gaps based on interview feedback:
 lack of budget synchronization
 limited collaboration between AVPs
 complicated product and process
 lack of personal relevance to staff
 lacks long term vision
Recommendations
• Define the strategic initiative prior to budget
preparation
• Make funds available outside the budget process
for special projects as identified
• Collaborate with customers and provide
coordinated services
• Promote one or two key themes that impact all
B&F units which are simple and memorable
• Make initiatives relevant to staff by providing a
better “line of sight”
• Make a 3-5 year plan
