In 2008, The Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) embarked on a strategic plan. The timing of the plan aligned with changes that would have profound impacts on the school going forward. These include a major building project that will update and consolidate the physical plant, a fundamental reshaping of the academic curriculum, and preparation for the hiring of a new CEO.

The strategic planning process has been very inclusive, involving board members, faculty, staff, students, and outside resource people with expertise to share an interest in the future of CIA . It has included the reworking of mission, vision, and values statements, the formulation of strategic goals, the creation of strategies and action steps, and the development of timelines, budgets, and performance measures.
