Case Studies   

OUELI alums are implementing the Strategic Triangle in a variety of ways. We think these case examples will be of interest to other alums and hope that they will spark discussion and ideas as you consider ways to use the triangle in managing your organization.

Case studies are searchable by organization type or by category within the strategic triangle and performance measurement model. Organization types are state agency, county agency, nonprofit agency, elected official, educational organization. Categories of the strategic triangle model are creating public value, political management, operational capacity and performance measurement.
