Case Study: Alaska Council of School Administrators achieves a focused, unified strategic plan with OnStrategy

Unifying an Organization to a Tackle the Issues Facing Public Education

Alaska Council of School Administrators engaged OnStrategy to build a targeted, focused strategic plan that would unify superintendents, principals, teachers and staff around common goals. Facing fragmented priorities and limited time and resources, ACSA sought OnStrategy’s strategic planning services—executive interviews, data collection and synthesis, facilitation, and vision prototyping—to create a clear, shared direction.

OnStrategy conducted 1:1 executive interviews, synthesized insights into a strategic planning framework, and facilitated annual single‑day planning sessions and vision prototyping to produce a unified playbook and actionable plan. The OnStrategy process delivered a structured, living strategic plan that sharpened focus, improved resource utilization, and enabled ACSA to more directly address obstacles—with tangible outcomes such as a single, measurable set of goals and repeatable annual planning sessions to keep the organization aligned.
