ASCE Strategy Management
ASCE has implemented an ongoing strategy management process that has become an annual cycle of scanning the environment for strategic issues, winnowing down and prioritizing the issues on a "radar screen," determining desired outcomes for a few top priority issues, and creating action plans to achieve the outcomes. (Note: "Strategy management" is used in place of "strategic planning" since the latter often implies the creation of a static document perhaps appropriate for a shelf rather than an ongoing driver of actions.)
The goal is to become focused and flexible in identifying and addressing top priorities while continuing to provide the ongoing broad range of products, services, and initiatives for the members and the profession.
The ASCE vision, mission, and goals and additional strategic planning information follow.
