* Lit search:  what research is being done; has also looked at studies back to 1998 (previous studies were all AP; none were done on civil service)
* Capital Strategy Model:  SWOT analysis (CS & AP advisory) – was done as summary of the 3 campuses; weaknesses are opportunities for improvement
* Model:  based on the definitions (page 1) – Strategy -->workforce planning (what do we need to get the work done) -->talent management (provides infrastructure coming from the workforce plan) --> Results (what we want)
* Have to follow Civil Service guidelines but it can still be done
* Stressed that this needs our support!!  And if approved want us (CSAC) to advocate
