LCC Network Releases 2014 Strategic Plan
The strategic plan identifies goals, objectives and example tactics that support the Network’s vision and mission in the areas of conservation strategy, collaborative conservation, science and communications. Each goal area has a set of objectives that help guide collaborative efforts within and across LCC’s from an enterprise context. This strategic plan builds on existing work with the Network and serves as a companion document to individual LCC strategic, science, operational, and other plans. As a living, iterative document, we expect to update the strategic plan based on individual LCC’s experience, new information and changes in our respective fields.
THE PROCESS
The information and ideas in this strategic plan were gleaned from existing work within the LCCs. The draft of this document was the product of a week-long workshop in late July with over 50 representatives from the LCC Network, including members of the LCC Council, LCC Coordinators, LCC Science Coordinators, national partner organizations, and other leaders within the LCC Network. In August, we asked for comments on the draft document from a broad audience of those same groups and more. We received over three dozen substantive responses that improved the final product.
NEXT STEPS – PUTTING IT INTO ACTION
Implementing this strategic plan will require the collective efforts of a broad range of entities and individuals across the LCC Network and beyond. Over the next few months, we will work to develop an implementation framework to identify processes that advance the goals and objectives described in this strategic plan, establish a schedule for monitoring and evaluating program performance, and collect feedback on the feasibility and application of the strategic plan to inform its evolution and further iterations.
