Mission

We provide the budget and planning tools, processes, and strategies that help University leadership, at all levels, to be effective, prudent, and strategic in its decision-making and resource management.

Values

Adaptive High Performance

• We purposefully pursue continuous improvement and self-development by adopting a growth mindset
• We quickly re-prioritize and readjust to meet the demands of new circumstances
• We continually drive stronger performance through flexibility in time (when), location (where), role (what we do), tool (how), and resource (who does it)
• We see obstacles as challenges to overcome

Curiosity

• We seek first to understand before offering assistance or solutions
• Our questions are rooted in a desire to improve outcomes
• We value inquiry over ego preservation
• We embrace opportunities to learn new things

Selflessness

• We seek what is best for the Office of Budget and Planning and the University, rather than what is best for ourselves
• We proactively teach, document, and share openly to aid the learning of our teammates
• We freely admit mistakes, invite feedback, and celebrate the success of our colleagues
• We are willing to be vulnerable, humble, and empathic in service to the team
