A successful integrated plan requires educating and engaging everyone in the institutional community. The Bison Blueprint is a user-friendly and bimodal-bilingual (American Sign Language and English) toolkit that uses low- to no-cost resources to engage administration, faculty, staff, and students at Gallaudet University, the world’s only university serving deaf and hard-of-hearing students. This article shares the process for developing the Bison Blueprint Toolkit. The Toolkit describes integrated planning, providing clear steps to develop plans at the unit level. The results cultivated a strategic mindset and helped the planning team align strategic work across the university.
