Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is developing and institutionalizing a process that links a long-term vision and mission of the county with goals for five years, and performance expectations to a one-year 'action item' list for the County Board, management, and staff.
Camden County's Strategic Planning Model includes:
- Vision - value-based principles that describe the preferred future in 15 years
- Plan - strategic goals that focus outcome-based objectives and potential actions for 5 years
- Execution - focus for one year - a work program:
- policy agenda for the Board of Commissioners
- management agenda for county staff
- major projects
- Mission - principles that define the responsibility of county government and frame the primary services - core service businesses
- Core Beliefs - personal values that define performance standards and expectations for employees
