Once we have come to a common understanding of the essence of the organization, we can start plotting out how we deliver this essence to the segments of our audience that we identified in our "segmentation scheme." This single page is a simple representation that shows our overarching theme or promise, some foundational concepts (what the  organization means and what it is), and the way we are going to split out our messages to the different audiences. Here is where we start to get core talking points that we can use consistently in our communications to all the various publics we want to reach.

This segmentation scheme lists our organizational and operational goals, suggests a strategy for reaching those goals, and then offers a way of thinking about how to reach the communications audiences based on their needs.  In this case, I created segments based on the barriers that were keeping students from graduating from the University (our operational goal.)  MNLHE would probably use a different sort of segmentation scheme-- perhaps based on demographics, level of education, position in higher education, or something else related to our goals.

First response to your feedback :

I have attached a pdf of an initial run at a "strategy canvas" for the organization. Let me know if you think we've identified appropriate reference organizations, and if you think we are using the correct evaluative components.  I hope this is just a starting point for this portion of our organizational communications analysis.
