• integrate the open education strategy into the overall institutional strategy
• promote internal, inter-institutional, and cross-border collaboration, as well as partnerships to achieve open education goals
• explore new practices and be open to change
• revise practices at all levels to embrace openness: from mission and vision statements, through current organizational structures and decisions, all the way to the role of the institution in the community and globally
