Episode 56: Pillars for ODOE’s future

ODOE recently released a new strategic plan, reaffirming our mission and setting our priorities over the next four years with actionable steps.

Building on our first strategic plan (2021-2025), the new edition identifies areas where ODOE can add value in the energy sphere and for Oregonians, whether that's advancing the Energy Strategy, producing energy resources for residents, or bringing clarity to the Energy Facility Siting Council process, for example.

This plan leans on ODOE's role to convene groups with a wide range of perspectives, deliver services and programs, and serve as a centralized repository of energy information as technology evolves.

In this episode of Grounded, we're joined by ODOE Director Janine Benner and Associate Director for Strategic Engagement Ruchi Sadhir. They walk us through the plan, sharing their hopes of how it will strengthen the agency's efficiency and effectiveness as we work as a cohesive unit to address our greatest energy challenges.

Five pillars make up the Strategic Plan. Pillars are the foundational elements that make our agency successful and help us achieve our mission and vision. Each pillar has goals, actions, and progress indicators for the next four years. Our Strategic Plan's pillars:

1. Addressing Oregon's Greatest Energy Challenges.

2. Proactive, Inclusive Collaboration and Communication.

3. Accessible, Effective Services and Programs.

4. Aligned, Well-Supported People and Operations.

5. Reliable, Responsive Data and Analysis.
