3 Executive Summary Overview. On November 13, 2012 members of the Senior Management Team of the Norwalk Health Department and members of the Board of Health met to begin work on the 2012 strategic plan. The session began with Tim Callahan and members of the Senior Management Team providing a report on progress being made to develop the Community Health Assessment (CHA) and the associated Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). After this presentation and discussion Jim Fairfield-Sonn facilitated a review of the organization s Vision, which was determined to not need any changes at this time. Next, the group worked on drafting Value Statements for the Department. The session concluded with a request to the group from Tim Callahan to the participants to talk with their colleagues about potential enhancements that could be made to the draft Value Statements and what the priority Goals and Objectives should be for the coming year. On November 20, 2012 the group reconvened to continue working on the strategic plan. This session began with a review of the Minutes from the previous session and then the group shifted its attention to the discussion of ways to enhance the draft Value Statements. Based on this discussion a number of refinements were made to the draft Value Statements and the items in the Value Statements were prioritized to reflect their impact on the work of the organization. Next, the group discussed the Opportunities and Threats for the organization in the external market and identified current Strengths and Weaknesses in the organization. After this analysis, the group reviewed the Mission Statement and decided that the Mission did not need to be changed at this time. Based on the above discussion, the group went on to identify five Goals for the next year. The session concluded with the identification of new weights for the balanced scorecard financial, operational, customer satisfaction and learning/innovation goals. The Senior Management Team met on January 24, 2013 to draft objectives for each of the goals. The Project Coordinator provided a template for the strategic plan, and staff members further developed the objectives following the meeting, adding activities, timeframes, responsibilities, and deliverables/measures. The Senior Management Team met again on January 31, 2013 to further refine the plan. The Director of Health reviewed and revised the objectives with individual staff members and the Project Coordinator in February The plan was finalized in March

The meeting began with words of welcome by Tim Callahan and a review by Tim and Members of the Senior Management Team on the progress being made on the Community Health Assessment (CHA) and the associated Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) (see attached PowerPoint presentations). 2. After the above review, Jim Fairfield-Sonn provided an overview of the process that will be used in this year s strategic planning process. Specifically, in light of the information provided in the CHA and the CHIP, this year s formal strategic planning effort will begin with a review of the current Vision Statement to see if it needs to be updated. Next, value statements will be developed for the Department. Then, an external assessment will be conducted to identify current threats and opportunities in the environment. This review will be followed by an internal assessment of the organization s current strengths and weakness. After these reviews, the mission statement will be reviewed for possible refinements. The planning sessions will conclude with the identification of key goals and objectives for the coming year and the establishment of a new set of balanced scorecard goals. 3. Following the above review and comments, the group discussed the current organizational Vision Statement to see if any refinements were necessary at this time. After some discussion, the consensus opinion was that the vision statement did not need to be changed. 4. Next, the group turned its attention to the development of draft Value Statements. This discussion led to the identification of six values that the Department is currently committed to using to make decisions and deliver services (see Exhibit 1). 5. The session concluded with a request from Tim for the participants to review the draft Value Statements with their colleagues between now and the next meeting to identify ways that it might be enhanced as well as to think about what the priority Goals and Objectives should be for the next two years. 20

Customer-Focused: We serve all internal and external customers with the goal of achieving high levels of satisfaction.

The meeting began with words of welcome by Tim Callahan and a review of the Minutes from the November 13, 2012 Meeting. 2. After the above review, the group turned its attention to a discussion of the draft Value Statements. Based on this discussion, a number of refinements were made to the wording of the Value Statements and the items within the Value Statements were reordered to reflect their priority for the work of the organization. 3. Next, the group turned its attention to the identification of current opportunities and threats in the external market and then to the identification of current strengths and weaknesses within the organization. 4. Based on the above analysis, the group carefully reviewed the current Mission Statement (shown below) and after thoughtful discussion, it was decided that the Mission Statement should remain unchanged at this time. 5. With the Vision, Values, external assessment, internal assessment and Mission in mind, the group next developed a list of Goals for the next year with the recognition that they would continue to meet to develop the objectives, activities, and timeframes. 6. The session concluded with the establishment of new Balanced Scorecard weights for the coming year. 22
