<br />SUBJECT: Strategic Plan for Indian River County Government
<br />We are pleased to submit this proposal to provide for the development of a strategic plan for
<br />Indian River County, We view this assignment as a logical extension of the initial engagement
<br />where we assisted the County in developing its Mission, Values, and Goals. The next logical
<br />step in the Strategic Planning process is to build the Plan around the prior established Goals.
<br />Overview
<br />To optimize opportunities for the long-term success of Indian River County, the county
<br />government will conduct a strategic planning process to produce a five-year plan and ensure
<br />successful implementation and effective evaluation.
<br />Strategic plans ask and answer this question: given our mission, strengths, weaknesses,
<br />opportunities, threats, stakeholders, history, capacity, and resources, what should our objectives
<br />be, and which strategies can we design and implement to achieve them?
<br />The strategic plan will enable all operations and activities of Indian River County Government to
<br />attain important, specific, and measurable objectives during the next two, three, and five years.
<br />The strategic planning process includes a SWOT and historical analysis, community research,
<br />determination of organizational capacity, identification of objectives, development of action plans
<br />for each objective, identification of means of evaluation for achievement of each objective and to
<br />set a schedule for implementation. Quarterly progress reports on each objective would aid in
<br />achievement of SMART objectives (specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time -bound).
<br />The SWOT and historical analysis, and community research were corducted during our first
<br />engagement.
<br />This is a specifically sequenced multi -stage process involving an orientation, face to face
<br />interaction with the County staff, a workshop, plan development, review, and approval,
<br />implementation, and evaluation. This team ensures the success of Indian River County
<br />Government at all stages.
<br />Indian River County Government has successfully defined its mission, values, and goals. The
<br />focus for this strategic plan is objectives which could involve capital projects,
<br />programs/services/policies, and enhancing institutional capacity. Objectives will be SMART
<br />(specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time -bound). For example, increase citizen
<br />satisfaction with county government in an annual survey by 10% within 12 months.
