edit   Planning the OERu way The OERu is distinctively open and subscribes to open planning processes. The OERu Council of Chief Executive Officers recommended the development of a strategic plan at the inaugural meeting of the Council in November 2014. The OERu network has completed our first open strategic planning consultation. Strategic planning essentially aims to answer the questions: "Where are we now?", "Where should we go?", and "How do we get there?". We are open for business implementing the OERu Strategic Plan 2015 - 2017. edit   Open organisation The implementation of the OERu is a large and complex project. In order for the resulting answers from our open strategic planning exercise to be actionable and meaningful, the OERu has organised the process using a number of working groups recommended during the 2013 series of meetings. This strategic planning portal will be used to host the open planning consultations and implementation of the plan.

edit   What we're planning to achieve Aims To collaboratively develop the OERu 2015 to 2017 strategic plan for approval at the OERu Council of CEOs meeting in November 2014 To concretise the value proposition of the OERu network for our partner institutions To produce an integrated set of documents linking the strategic plan, to associated management structures To implement, adapt and refine the strategic plan as an "evergreen" and living document. edit   Our timeline for success The consultation commenced in May 2014 leading to the approval of the plan by the OERu Council of CEOs in November 2014.
