Strategic
Plan The purpose of a strategic
plan is to establish goals (1-3 years), objectives, and actions/strategies
that address issues related to performance, productivity, required statutory
services, and community and personal well-being. The strategic planning process is a
systematic, interaction process among city department heads, city manager,
city council and mayor for thinking through and establishing priorities by
majority consensus. Some elements
of a strategic plan are as follows: to review roles, responsibilities and
expectations of the city’s leadership team, develop consensus on the
most significant issues, challenges and opportunities facing the city,
develop preliminary action plans for the highest priority goals, develop an
updated goals program for the next 1-3 years, discuss changes and forces that
are likely to impact the city.
The strategic planning process can for example: ·
Develop
a greater degree of cooperation and collaboration ·
Ensure
a more efficient use of resources ·
Reduce
confusion about roles, responsibilities, and accountability ·
Provide
a clearer direction ·
Create
groundwork for improvement STRATEGIC
