Strategic Plan A strategic plan is a working, living document that reflects the policy direction from the elected body, sets the Vision for the organization, and drives and informs an Implementation Plan which the staff will create to ensure progress and measurable results. The Strategic Plan will be updated regularly by the team and reported quarterly by the city staff. Vision A Vision Statement is a clear, aspirational statement that inspires long term change. The Vision leads the organization – it guides priorities, goals, outcomes, strategies, and work plans. Mission A Mission Statement is a practical, tangible tool the City will use to make decisions about priorities, actions, and responsibilities. A Mission describes the purpose of the organization – the reason why it exists – and converts broad dreams and visions into more specific, action- oriented terms. A Mission can explain Goals in a clear and easy to understand manner. It creates focus for work and accountability to stay on track. Because a Mission Statement is the purpose of the organization (why the organization exists) there should not be much change over the years. Key Focus Areas Key Focus Areas are the most important issues, opportunities or trends facing the City over the next 10 – 15 years. They are usually broad areas of service that will have the most impact on the community. Traditionally, they don’t change over the course of several years. Outcomes The Outcomes are expected results for what the organization is trying to achieve by focusing on the Key Focus Area. The Outcomes are usually explained without specific numbers or data because they are what the organization desires to achieve. An outcome is the change/ difference that happens as a result of implementing the Strategic Plan. Strategic Goals Strategic Goals are the larger, broader, often intangible concepts that will need to be accomplished to address the Priorities and be successful in the coming years. Strategic Goals are typically longer term (3 – 5 years) in nature and have milestones along the way to measure success. Goals are big, broad statements that, when accomplished, significantly move the needle on your Priorities. If you are successful at achieving your Goals, you will achieve your Key Focus Areas and realize your Vision.
