The success of any public planning
process requires institutional and community "buy-in."
The process should build on the organization's existing
reputation-and expand the resources required to achieve
the mission.
We implement a program that:
Motivates participants to action;
Insures the inclusion and participation of all relevant
stakeholders;
Builds a values-based, shared vision;
Defines and accepts involvement of and accountability to
the community;
Is based on quality data;
Requires an openness to questioning the status quo;
Provides a key tool for effective ongoing management.
The process may include:
A preliminary situation analysis which focuses on both assets
and needs;
A review of institutional mission and vision;
Interviews with internal and external leadership;
Assessment of programs' impact;
Development of planning "road map" to guide the
process.
Review of planning process with leadership and staff;
