Executive Summary <br />To review and define the mission, values, and goals for Indian River County Government <br />to optimally serve citizens, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />engaged in a best practice and evidence -based process. This process included <br />community and organizational research, individual interviews with the BCC, senior staff, <br />and department directors, an all -employee electronic survey, and a workshop for <br />discussion and direction to the administrative leadership. The research was conducted <br />by Dr. Levey and Dr. Saviak in close coordination with the senior staff. It was a multi- <br />method research process involving a diverse set of reliable and valid sources of <br />quantitative and qualitative data providing opportunities for cross -validation confirming <br />valuable findings. Utilizing all of these tools of research, major recurring themes were <br />identified. The workshop provided an additional opportunity for data collection and <br />analysis. The focus of the workshop was to receive ideas and direction from the Board <br />of County Commissioners to guide the staff in developing a draft mission, set of <br />organizational values, and goals for the Board's review and approval, and inclusion within <br />the upcoming budgetary process. <br />It is important to gain a good understanding of Indian River County and Indian River <br />County Government to effectively conduct a successful goal setting process and <br />workshop. The goal setting project team utilized reports, data, and metrics provided by <br />the Office of the County Adm'nistrator as well as publicly available information from <br />governmental and non-governmental organizations, to create and inform a productive <br />goal setting process and workshop. <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ® 2023 GOAL SETTING PROCESS & WORKSHOP FINAL REPORT • Page 3 <br />201 <br />
