Base’s strategic plan updated
Col. Patrick Miller, 88th Air Base Wing and installation commander, has launched a new strategic plan for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Under this new plan, Miller initiated an effort to update the mission and vision statements, values, characteristics, traits and lines of effort.
88th ABW mission
Deliver war-winning capabilities through agile installation & mission support. 88th ABW vision
The premier air base wing … one team – people-driven, mission-focused!
88th ABW values
Innovative, Diverse, Development, Respect, Commitment, Inclusive, Resiliency and Family
88th ABW characteristics/traits
Competent, Transparent, Responsive, Collaborative, Professional, Trusted, Customer Focused and Caring
88th ABW lines of effort
1. Strengthen and care for our team
2. Maximize mission effectiveness
3. Optimize and modernize the installation
4. Foster deliberate partnerships
About 95% of the organization’s personnel do not understand the installation’s strategy, the wing commander said. To change that, an effort must be made to achieve understanding at all levels.
“We have made a concerted effort to make adjustments to our strategic plan to better reflect who we are as an organization,” Miller said. “It is a reflection of how we see ourselves and how we want others to see us.”
On March 1, the new plan kicked off with the execution of two phases. The first will last nine weeks. Afterward, the second phase starts May 7 and will continue until determined unessential.
“This plan will help codify our culture and the team concept in the ‘Mighty 88th,’” said Chief Master Sgt. Jason Shaffer, 88 ABW command chief. “We want to build that culture of diversity and belonging and have our teammates know that they belong to the 88th family.”
Base leaders said the 88 ABW public affairs team will utilize all available tools and platforms over the next three months to promote awareness of the new strategic plan.
