City of Louisville Strategic Planning Framework <br />Introduction <br />The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to outline how the City can best serve our residents now <br />and into the future. The Strategic Plan will serve as a road map for our organization, to strengthen <br />our organizational culture, and to serve as a communication tool for the community to understand <br />the strategic vision and operating guidelines of the organization. <br />As an internal, guiding document, the Strategic Plan outlines our operating guidelines for the <br />organization as a whole —our Vision, Mission and Values, as well as our Critical Success Factors —and will <br />help align our organizational culture with the work that we do. In addition, the Strategic Plan includes <br />Priority Initiatives that capture the City's key priorities for the next one to two years (aligned with the <br />biennial budget process) in each of the Critical Success Factor areas.The City has many initiatives <br />ongoing throughout the year, in addition to the daily operations required to run the City. The Priority <br />Initiatives represent those projects or initiatives occurring in the next one to two years that are above <br />and beyond our daily operations, which represent an increased level of service, have new or additional <br />dedicated resources and funding, and help advance the City's vision. Together, these elements <br />demonstrate to our residents what we plan to accomplish, and the manner in which we commit <br />to doing our work. <br />The development of a Strategic Plan has been a priority for City Council and the City Manager, to serve <br />as a singular, guiding document that aligns with the City's Comprehensive Plan, program -based budget, <br />Home Rule Charter and other planning documents to reflect one unified vision for the organization. <br />Existing plans are still relevant, and will continue to provide direction in key areas of our work. <br />In addition, the City of Louisville continues to move forward with its program -based budget <br />structure, which includes program areas with specific goals, and sub -programs with detailed objectives. <br />Our progress in meeting these goals and objectives are measured on an annual basis through our Key <br />Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the Strategic Plan reflects how our Priority Initiatives are aligned with <br />these program areas. In essence, the program/sub-program areas reflect all the work of the City that's <br />performed on a day to day basis, the Priority Initiatives reflect those high -priority efforts that represent <br />an increased financial and resource investment over a period of time, and the Strategic Plan reflects <br />how we do our work. <br />Thank you for reading this document. We hope it will quickly become a useful tool that becomes <br />an integral part of our organizational operations, and which also will serve to inform our residents <br />about the work we do. <br />Vision <br />The City of Louisville — dedicated to <br />providing a vibrant, healthy community <br />with the best small town atmosphere. <br />Values <br />Innovation <br />Leading and embracing change and <br />transformation through creative thinking, <br />learning, and continuous improvement. <br />Collaboration <br />Proactively engaging colleagues and <br />other stakeholders in developing solutions <br />through open communication. <br />Accountability <br />Fulfilling our responsibilities, owning our <br />actions, and learning from our mistakes. <br />Respect <br />Treating people, processes, roles, <br />and property with care and concern. <br />Excellence <br />Doing our best work and exceeding <br />expectations with responsive, efficient, <br />and effective customer service. <br />Mission <br />Our commitment is to protect, preserve, and <br />enhance the quality of life in our community. <br />Critical Success Factors <br />Financial Stewardship <br />and Asset Management <br />Vibrant Economic <br />Climate <br />Engaged <br />Community <br />Supportive <br />Technology <br />Reliable Core <br />Services <br />Quality Programs <br />and Amenities <br />Healthy <br />Workforce <br />Collaborative Regional <br />Partner <br />SK <br />VTrSI0hi <br />The City4w.w1Ye <br />IDED,CPTCo R <br />4111010 PROMENN fa a VINE..., <br />BEST SMALL TOw.I <br />ATMUSNERE .. <br />City .1 <br />LOOP Iale <br />CRIT[GAt <br />SUCCESS <br />FAcTQg <br />-..�Our <br />M1SS10N - <br />OKPIECI <br />PR£SC;C+.
