Amplifying Impact with East Central Educational Service Center
Strategic Planning for Mapt Solution’s 2nd Annual Transformation Challenge Winner
East Central Educational Service Center (ECESC) provides resources, support and collaborative solutions to enhance the impact of services provided to the 14 counties, 38 school districts, 4,500 teachers and administrators and over 70,000 students in east central Indiana.
ECESC’s Challenge
ECESC is experiencing a period of growth and change unlike any other in its 36-year history. The organization has positioned itself well to contribute in meaningful ways to key future-ready initiatives across the state, but needs a clear strategic plan to establish relevant goals, ensure alignment with the needs of member districts and maximize its opportunities moving forward.
The Process
The ECESC team and the students they serve dream big – and so do we. Mapt will work alongside ECESC’s leadership to chart a strategic plan for the organization’s future, including clarifying ECESC’s vision and goals, leveraging new facilities for maximum impact and partnering with member districts and staff.
Phase 1 – Discovery & Landscape Review
Mapt will engage diverse ECESC stakeholders to gather insight and feedback across the broad spectrum of individuals served and will review other educational service center models to identify best practices and areas for enhancement.
Phase 2 – Strategic Planning
After the discovery phase, Mapt will incorporate findings and key decisions from ECESC’s leadership into a multi-year strategic plan that will help ECESC achieve their goals and amplify their impact.
Phase 3 – Implementation Support
Time to put plans into action. Mapt will create a first-year roadmap with key milestones and provide $25,000 in funding to help ECESC kick off their transformation.
