A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN Building on the KU Difference From 2008 to 2012 KU’s strategic plan, Making the KU Difference provided the road map used to navigate the organisation through a period of enormous change; both internally and in the broader sector. So when the time came to develop a new strategic plan in 2013, KU’s Board and Executive sought to build on the strong foundations of past experience, and target new opportunities that will see KU retain our reputation for quality as we grow and thrive into the future. Perhaps the most important part of this process was the articulation of KU’s values, which was the result of extensive consultation with KU staff and families. Launched in 2013, the new strategic plan, Building on the KU Difference focuses on supporting KU’s quality, staff and sustainability over three years. Guided by this plan, by 2015 KU will be proudly: Delivering the best positive outcomes for children and families An inspired community of professionals Witnessing that the ‘KU Difference’ is understood and valued  Developing and operating innovative services models Fostering equitable access and participation  Shaping sector and government thinking and policy A well managed and sustainable organisation Of course, we know that a strategic plan is more than just the outcomes it delivers at the end. Often it’s the journey and all the milestones along the way that deliver the most meaningful learning, development and growth in each of us, and in KU as a whole. We look forward to sharing our progress with you over the coming years. Read the complete strategic plan, Building on the KU Difference at ku.com.au or: 118th Annual Report 2013
