Our Role in the WSU System Strategic Plan
The Office of Strategy, Planning, and Analysis (OSPA) is charged with leading strategic planning efforts at Washington State University. We coordinate throughout the WSU system to ensure the WSU System Strategic Plan is alive and implemented so we can reach our goals.
We are also here to elevate awareness and understanding of the purpose and value of the system strategic plan and the importance of strategic thinking and planning. We work to improve system plan implementation and increase institutional involvement and seek broad ownership in the process of strategic plan development and implementation. In that process, we strive to improve and unify key system planning processes and efforts.
