UNO’s Strategic Process
2002-2003
“The essence of the strategic process is that
change is not a one-time event—it is a
continuous phenomenon.”
--Rowley & Sherman
From Strategy to Change:
Implementing the Plan in Higher Education
Operating Effectively in
Uncertain Times
Maintaining Momentum
• These tough times “require decisions, adjustments and
sacrifices in order to maintain UNO’s strong
momentum”
• UNO will “keep moving forward, because we remain
guided by solid priorities, and backed by the Omaha
community.”
• UNO is “supported by a great group of people-students, staff and faculty--who will rise to the
challenge.”
