OACOT has two locations: the main office in Bern's old town at Nydeggasse 11/13, 3011 Bern, and a francophone unit at Nidau Castle (Hauptstrasse 2) serving the francophone Bernese Jura and bilingual Biel/Bienne administrative districts.

Strategy 2030 presents OACOT's vision and objectives, how it intends to respond to environmental changes, the scope of action it wishes to exploit, the measures it plans to implement, and how it organizes itself to best meet these requirements. It serves as a roadmap for staff and information framework for external partners.
