METHODOLOGY

APPROACH:

Strategic planning helps leadership mold an organization's future and manage positive change. strategic planning focuses leaders on the methods to achieve an ideal vision (what the organization should be and could be) 10-20 years in the future, whereas long range planning may only mean one year in the future or the next budget submission. strategic plans are developed at the very highest level and deployed throughout the organization. The leadership first explores and agrees upon the mission, vision, and guiding principles; and this forms the foundation for the strategic plan. The mission defines the reason for our existence, the vision describes where we are headed, and the guiding principles guide our behavior on the journey to that vision. Following the development of this foundation, the next step is to develop goals, strategies, and objectives that will enable the organization to bridge the gap between the present and the future organization as described in its vision.

The Naval Academy has followed the CNO's strategic planning approach as outlined below.

The CNO's implementation and evaluation of the USNA Strategic Plan is a feedback loop with these steps:

1. Pre-planning activities take place.
2. An organizational audit occurs.
3. The audit feeds into the USNA Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles, which are collectively called the Strategic Foundations.
4. The Strategic Foundations feed into a gap analysis.
5. The gap analysis produce the USN strategic goals, strategies, and objectives, which are the Strategic Plan.
6. The Strategic Plan undergoes a performance audit which then cycles back to the pre-planning activities.

DEVELOPMENT

The Naval Academy's mission, vision, and guiding principles are the foundation of the strategic plan and were developed by USNA'~ leadership during the first strategic planning conference in the winter of 1991-1992. The goals, strategies, and objectives were then developed during several follow-on sessions as the Academy's leaders split into goal groups to develop supporting strategies and objectives. After each iteration, the results of each group were presented back to all conference attendees until consensus was reached. The final draft copy was then presented to all USNA personnel via their cost center heads with an invitation for review and comment on the goals, strategies, and objectives prior to finalizing the plan. Upon receipt, review, and consideration of all inputs and comments, the strategic plan was then finalized.

A second strategic planning conference was held to focus on the execution of the plan. Each Executive Steering Committee (ESC) member chaired an 8-10 member goal group to develop goal execution strategies. Upon completion of this process, the responsible ESC members briefed their goals to the ESC.

EXECUTION

The USNA Executive steering Committee (ESC) will oversee the execution of the strategic plan, evaluate its effectiveness, ensure the commitment of subordinate levels, and approve modifications to the plan. The ESC membership is as follows:

Everyone assigned to the Naval Academy is a member of the USNA team, and all are invited to participate in the execution of this plan. The USNA team includes the Naval Station, Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS), USNA organizational components, Naval Medical Clinic, Dental Clinic, and other Annapolis area activities. Action officers for the objectives will initiate action to gather data, coordinate efforts, accomplish the objective(s), and report completion to the Executive Steering Committee (ESC) as follows:

The ESC has chartered Quality Management Boards (QMB's) responsible for the execution of each goal. These QMB's, comprised of 6-8 members, are designed to look at the Naval Academy system as a whole. They are authorized by the ESC to execute their respective goals and are required to keep the ESC advised of their progress. The ESC remains responsible for decisions which affect Naval Academy Policy. The ESC chartered QMB's are as follows:

The new organization is as follows: ESC is in the center and there is a line draw from ESC to each of the following: QMB1, QMB2, QMB3, QMB4A, QMB4B, QMB4C, QMB5. There are no lines connecting any of the QMB element to other QMB elements.

Note: The ESe has agreed that all existing committees or groups working on issues related to the newly established QMB's will report in the future to a QMB. This policy will be further explained in a future USNA Instruction.

FUTURE PLANS AND UPDATES

The Naval Academy's strategic plan is a living document and will require updates as we periodically review our progress and make midcourse corrections in order to realize our vision of the Naval Academy in the 21st century.

The plan will be revised and re-issued on an annual basis. New revisions will reflect the progress achieved during the previous year as well as revised/added strategies, goals, and objectives.

GOALS/STRATEGIES/OBJECTIVES

PURPOSE. Goals, strategies, and objectives were developed to bridge the gap between where we are now and where we want to be at some time in the future based upon our vision of that future. They reflect those things that must be done in order to fill that gap. This is not a list of our functions and tasks, and it is not intended to describe all of our existing programs and ongoing efforts. The objectives that follow have been developed so as to require specific future actions that are measurable and support our vision of the Naval Academy's future. For quick reference, a summary of the five goals is first provided as follows:

GOAL 1

The united States Naval Academy will provide every midshipman with a Total Quality Education (TQE). This educational process involves the development of the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Implicit in TQE is the creation of an environment which fosters leadership, creativity, and a lifelong thirst for knowledge.

GOAL 2

Embrace and implement Total Quality Leadership (TQL) throughout the USNA complex.

GOAL 3

USNA will excel in Equal Opportunity (EO) and Equal Employment opportunity (EEO).

GOAL 4

Provide a quality living and working environment (e.g. facilities, equipment, systems, and training) that contributes to more efficient and effective mission accomplishment.

GOAL 5

Continually improve our officer accession program through an enhanced admissions process, retention, and a graduate evaluation and feedback system.

GOAL 1

THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY WILL PROVIDE EVERY MIDSHIPMAN WITH A TOTAL QUALITY EDUCATION (tqe). THIS EDUCATIONAL PROCESS INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WHOLE PERSON: MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. IMPLICIT IN TQE IS THE CREATION OF AN ENVIRONMENT WHICH FOSTERS LEADERSHIP, CREATIVITY AND A LIFELONG THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE.
