Introduction & Goals of Meeting
• Has the strategic planning process produced the right answer?
• What is the role of Keck in the next 5, 10, and 20 years?
• Does our outlook balance short, medium, and long-term priorities?
• Are we trying to do too much? Too little?• How can the planning process be improved?
