As a dynamic and growing institution, Ozarks Technical Community College understands the importance of strategic planning to meet the continually changing needs of the communities it serves. The college prides itself on forming plans based on broad input from students, faculty, staff and community members. This process is driven by goals and initiatives that measure institution-wide success.

OTC’s strategic planning is rooted in annual assessment and evaluation. Each year, the Strategic Planning Office conducts a comprehensive scan outlining information on the external environment and generates a Strategic Planning Progress Report highlighting accomplishments related to the Your Dreams, Our Plan Strategic Plan initiatives. In addition, the office outlines the Strategic Planning Process and supports internal departments with activities related to annual planning.

With these guiding forces in place, the Strategic Planning Office leads OTC on its mission to be the community’s college.
