Enterprise Strategy & Continuous Improvement

Advancing Liberty Through Strategic Execution

The purpose of Enterprise Strategy & Continuous Improvement (ES & CI) is to accelerate strategic execution and organizational effectiveness by aligning people, processes, data, and technology around measurable outcomes and continuous improvement.

Strategic Plan Management

Liberty University’s 2024-29 Strategic Plan aims to uphold the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all endeavors while fostering lifelong learning and student success. The plan, developed through extensive community involvement, ensures that all departments are prepared to navigate the evolving cultural and educational landscapes. It encapsulates Liberty’s mission of Training Champions for Christ and is driven by the acronym F.L.A.M.E.S., which stands for Faith First, Lifelong Learning, Academic Excellence, Mission-Driven, Engagement, and Service.
