Upcoming SEA Discussion: Strategic Plans and navigating big picture themes
Join the UCAR Software Engineering Assembly (SEA) at 9:00 am MT on November 14th for a lightly-moderated discussion on Strategic Plans and navigating big picture themes.
Recently, NSF NCAR staff were invited to provide feedback on the first draft of the 2025-2029 NSF NCAR Strategic Plan (if you are staff, see this Sundog link for more information and the draft itself). Initial feedback from staff is due at the end of November, and so the SEA is holding this impromptu discussion for two primary purposes: (a) provide a venue for research software engineers within our organization to discuss the draft document and (b) to discuss strategic planning in general. In addition to specific feedback the SEA can pass forward to management, we’d encourage you to bring your thoughts on:
- What do you focus on when reviewing or drafting a strategic plan?
- Do you feel represented in strategic plans? If not, how could that be improved?
- Do you see the impact of strategic plans on your work and/or environment?
This event is primarily intended for NSF NCAR/UCAR Staff. To join, add this event to your calendar.
