Developing a One KU strategic framework

At its core, One KU is more than just an alignment of units and operations among our campuses. It’s a mindset. It’s a shared belief that KU is strongest when we align our efforts, learn from one another, and work toward common goals while still honoring the unique strengths of each campus and unit. 

We are beginning the next phase of work as One KU by developing a shared, institution-wide strategic framework that will guide how we make decisions, set priorities and collaborate across campuses. This is not about launching a brand new plan. Rather, it’s about building on our strong foundation and creating a clearer, more connected way forward. The framework will intentionally incorporate the most important elements of both the Lawrence campus’ Jayhawks Rising strategic plan and KU Medical Center’s strategic plan. As this new framework takes shape, these earlier plans will be thoughtfully sunset so we can move forward with a single, cohesive approach. 

Over the coming months, the KU community will have opportunities to help shape and refine the One KU strategic framework. Your perspectives are essential to ensure it reflects who we are and where we are headed as a university. Details will be shared soon.
