YOUR MASTER PLAN STEPS

1. Set Aspirational Targets2. Use your Abundant Resources effectively3. Re-think Budgeting- think long-term4. Plan a clear pathway- modernize with the big

picture in mind 5. Advocate for change (the technology is here)6. See Schools as a Community Resource7. Expand the Frame – what are the

opportunities

CREATE YOUR PROJECT PLAN

1. Design for Education 2. Good Question – in the Right Order;

comprehensive approach3. Work with the expertise of your team4. Include Maintenance and Operations in your

thinking 5. Monitor and Adjust

KEY IDEAS from our journey

• Look for moves that solve many problems at once

• Apply a hierarchy of solutions

• Plan a path to ever‐increasing benefits

• Change the question: start at zero instead of ending at zero.

Employ powerful tools to optimize solutions

• Use abundant resources effectively

• Enlist the landscape

• Expand your perspective
