HomeMy WebLinkAboutMemo Updating and Reformatting the Municipal Strategic Plan 051611 MEMORANDUM Date: May 16, 2011 TO: Honorable Mayor and Town Council FROM: Tom Brymer, Town Manager/Superintendent SUBJECT: Updating and Reformatting the Municipal Strategic Plan As a part of my performance review in the context of setting goals and objectives for the next 12 months, I mentioned the need to update and reformat the Municipal Strategic Plan. The Town Council gave direction to me to begin work on this effort prior to its planning retreat. The attached information is the result of that Council direction. This proposed iteration of Westlake's Strategic Plan (attached for your review prior to our planning) utilizes a "strategic issues" based approach. A strategic issues approach to strategic planning is selective, identifying those issues for special attention above and beyond the organization's day-to-day work that will drive the organizations change agenda. (Eadie, 171). A strategic issues approach to strategic planning 1.) identifies and selects strategic issues, 2.) formulates strategies to deal with the issues, and 3.) manages implementation of the strategies (including assignment of roles and responsibilities for implementation). (Eadie, 171-172) At Monday's retreat, Staff will review work-to-date using this strategic issues approach for the Municipal Strategic Plan and will solicit Town Council input and direction concerning it. 3 Village Circle, Suite 2o2 Westlake, Texas 76262 Metro: 817-430-0941 - Fax: 817-43o-i8i2 - www.westlake-tx.org
