r OUISVILLE CO NITY PARK f.st. 2006 Introduction The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to outline how the City can best serve our residents now and into the future. The Strategic Plan serves as a road map for our organization, to strengthen our organizational culture, and to serve as a communication tool for the community to understand the strategic vision and operating guidelines of the organization. As an internal, guiding document, the Strategic Plan outlines our operating guidelines for the organization as a whole —our Vision, Mission and Values, as well as our Critical Success Factors —and will help align our organizational culture with the work that we do. In addition, the Strategic Plan includes Priority Initiatives that capture the City's key priorities for the next one to two years (aligned with the biennial budget process) in each of the Critical Success Factor areas. The City has many initiatives ongoing throughout the year, in addition to the daily operations required to run the City. The Priority Initiatives represent those projects or initiatives occurring in the next one to two years that are above and beyond our daily operations, which represent an increased level of service, have new or additional dedicated resources and funding, and help advance the City's vision. Together, these elements demonstrate to our residents what we plan to accomplish, and the manner in which we commit to doing our work. The Strategic Plan serves as a singular, guiding document that aligns with the City's Comprehensive Plan, program -based budget, Home Rule Charter and other planning documents to reflect one unified vision for the organization. Existing plans are still relevant, and continue to provide direction in key areas of our work. The City continues to move forward with its program -based budget structure, which includes program areas with specific goals, and sub -programs with detailed objectives. Our progress in meeting these goals and objectives are measured on an annual basis through our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the Strategic Plan reflects how our Priority Initiatives are aligned with these program areas. In essence, the program/sub-program areas reflect all the work of the City that is performed on a day to day basis, the Priority Initiatives reflect those high -priority efforts that represent an increased financial and resource investment over a period of time, and the Strategic Plan reflects how we do our work. Thank you for reading this document. We hope it is a useful tool that continues to be an integral part of our organizational operations, and which also will serve to inform our residents about the work we do.
