2 Strategic Plan Welcome to the Strategic Plan for Destination Imagination, Inc. Within the following document, you will find the passion and the excitement of our corporation as it is captured in our vision, mission and action plans. The Destination Imagination Board of Trustees developed this strategic plan with extensive input from the DI community and will be using it as our guide for growth and expansion. We feel strongly that our programs make a positive and creative difference in the lives of all those involved in Destination Imagination. Please read and join us on our Destination Imagination journey. - The International Board of Trustees, Destination Imagination, Inc. Introduction This document sets forth the goals and principles that guide the participants, volunteers, staff, and affiliates of Destination Imagination, Inc. It outlines a strategic approach to ensure recognition of Destination Imagination, Inc. and its programs as synonymous with excellence in educational programming. Today, effective educational programming in all areas of life is faced with redefining the skills needed for success in a world characterized by risk and uncertainty as well as significant opportunity. We believe that Destination Imagination, Inc., is well positioned to create and deliver the kind of programming that develops these needed skills in participants, young and old. Our strategic plan for is the product of an effort by numerous volunteers and staff members and is supported by significant contributions from the Destination Imagination community. The plan invites the active participation of all of our stakeholders as we build upon our strengths, address our weaknesses, and work to realize our potential. A large number of action plans will emerge from this planning process. Some of these will be purely administrative in nature; some will require significant tactical development; some will call upon the diverse skills and talents of our community. Guided by the broad framework that follows, our executive staff will develop and implement annual business plans outlining specific activities and targets, along with timelines to measure our progress. We will continually assess the effectiveness of our actions against these objectives, and we will be accountable to our stakeholders for regular updates. - Board of Trustees, Destination Imagination, Inc. The Destination Imagination Story Destination Imagination, Inc. is the world's leading non-profit corporation providing creative problem solving programs for individuals of all ages. The organization of today is the product of two historical paths sharing a 1
3 common commitment to creativity, problem solving, and teamwork. The result is that every year thousands of participants around the world joins in the organization s programs. The origins of Destination Imagination, Inc., are found in the 1983 incorporation of OM Association, Inc., as a federally registered non-profit organization with a mission of conducting programs in creativity for children. Throughout the next 15 years, OM Association, Inc., developed national, state, and provincial volunteer organizations to conduct annual programs and spread creativity around the globe. The organization achieved dramatic growth so that by the end of the 1990s, it had served more than one million students. The other path to today s Destination Imagination, Inc., began in 1999 when nearly 200 international volunteers came together through a variety of communication medium to create an entirely new creative problem-solving program. Working intensely throughout the summer months of 1999, this dedicated super team built the Destination Imagination program from the ground up, finally releasing program materials and accepting participants in the Fall of By the time the organization welcomed 750 teams to its initial Global Finals in May 2000, more than 100,000 students had participated in the program - a stunning first-year accomplishment. Shortly after the Destination Imagination program was launched, in the Fall of 1999, the organization s Board of Directors and the Board of Directors of OM Association, Inc., unanimously agreed to pursue merger of the two organizations. That merger was completed in 2000, and the new organization seated its memberelected Board of Trustees that August. In January 2001, the name of the new organization officially became Destination Imagination, Inc., with corporate headquarters located in Glassboro, New Jersey. Destination Imagination, Inc., continues its focus on creative excellence to this day. With an extensive global network of staff and volunteers to carry out its programs, Destination Imagination, Inc. stands today as the world s oldest, largest, and best producer of creative problem solving programs and activities for learners of all ages. Mission and Vision Adopted January 2012 Vision To be the global leader in teaching the creative process from imagination to innovation. Mission To develop opportunities that inspires the global community of learners to utilize diverse approaches in applying 21st Century Skills and creativity. The Destination Imagination program encourages teams of learners to have fun, take risks, focus, and frame challenges while incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), the arts, and service learning. Our participants learn patience, flexibility, persistence, ethics, respect for others and their ideas, and the collaborative problem solving process. Teams may showcase their solutions at a tournament. 2
