2005 –
2009 Strategic Plan
The Statistics Division
recently completed its seventh strategic planning session. Ten officers
and members from around the country met in Jacksonville, FL (March 5-6,
2005) for a weekend long planning session. The session was led by chair-elect,
Geoff Vining. Officers and members in attendance included Jonathon Andell,
Laura Augustine, Daksha Chokshi, Gordon Clark, Doug Hlavacek, Mark Kiel,
Scott Kowalski, Bob Mitchell and Brian Sersions. The participants constituted
a diverse mix of seasoned division veterans as well as enthusiastic newcomers.
VISION
- Data Driven Decisions
through Statistical Thinking Everywhere.
- We are the recognized
forum that advances data-driven decision making through Statistical
Thinking.
MISSION
- Advance data-driven
decision making through Statistical Thinking.
- Improve the public’s
perception and understanding of statistical methods and data-driven
decisions.
- Be the source
for the statistical components of the ASQ body of knowledge.
- Support the growth
and development of ASQ Statistics Division members.
- Increase the credibility,
marketability and influence of ASQ Statistics Division members.
With our vision and
mission in hand, we discussed in relatively broad terms what kinds of
activities the Statistics Division should pursue over the next five years
in order to move us forward. Four key strategies were identified.
1) Understand,
organize, and disseminate the Statistics Division’s body of knowledge.
It was clear to all of us during the session that we do not necessarily
know what this knowledge is or should be, where it resides, nor how
to keep it current. In essence, we must improve our ability to manage
the division’s accumulated storehouse of knowledge.
2) Develop and deliver useful and useable
communication vehicles. The Statistics Division offers
multiple communication methods including our website, discussion boards,
newsletters, E-Zines, etc. We need to verify whether these vehicles
are still aligned with the division’s vision and mission as well
as identify where gaps exist with our primary customers.
3) Proactively
engage the voice of the customers in our decision making.
We tend to hear from a small fraction of our customers, generally when
things go wrong. We must develop more regular ways of reaching out to
current and potential customers.
4) Advance
data driven decision making through Statistical Thinking.
For this strategy, we must continue finding ways to advocate Statistical
Thinking while broadening its intended audience and overall appeal.
