NEXT STEPS<br />
MSI’s <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>2021</strong>-<strong>2023</strong> sets forth the organization’s vision, three strategic goals, and<br />
internal organizational capacity goals. Each strategic goal is supported by a defining issue<br />
statement, priorities for action, a theory of change, and concrete objectives and initiatives<br />
designed to meet the goal. A set of capacity goals completes the <strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, communicating<br />
the strengths MSI will build on and the gaps it will address to realize the plan. MSI’s <strong>Strategic</strong><br />
<strong>Plan</strong> is co-created by MSI’s Board of Directors and all staff every three years. It is approved by the<br />
Board of Directors and enacted by MSI’s senior<br />
leadership through annual workplans, with highlevel<br />
results reported quarterly to the Board.<br />
Staff’s individual contributions to goal attainment<br />
will be inscribed in annual workplans and<br />
measured in annual performance reviews.<br />
Our goal is to attain our vision by working<br />
collectively toward our strategic and capacity<br />
goals to ensure MSI contributes effectively<br />
to advancing mountain science that provides<br />
solutions for strengthening the resilience of the<br />
San Juan <strong>Mountain</strong>s, as well as demonstrates<br />
best practices and models that can be replicated<br />
further afield. MSI’s work is indeed place-based<br />
and local—but it carries global impact on the<br />
world’s resources.
