Strategic Plan

The Planning Process The strategic planning process at Meridian Technology Center was a campus-wide effort, with the goal of developing long-term aims for Meridian to reach by 2015. This strategic plan will ensure that Meridian’s resources and time are focused in the most critical areas for organizational success.

Meridian’s values served as an area of focus during the planning process to ensure we are meeting the needs of the individuals, industries and communities we serve. Work groups met regularly to provide feedback and input in the planning process. Leaders are assigned to each performance measure to ensure that the plan stays on target, with a review of the plan to take place annually.

Employees from across campus will be asked to join team leaders. The major aims are campus-wide targets that all employees at Meridian are charged with contributing to in order to ensure their success.
