requires constant improvement of work processes, policies and procedures. These
improvements have led the Department to review the innovative use of technology and the
need to make services more convenient to the customers. In response the Department
has installed a brand new permit tracking system and opened a field office in the City of
Lafayette to serve Lamorinda residents. The rapid increase in size, changes in the
organization's"culture"and technology all demanded a review of the Department's mission
and operating practices. In order to address these changes and forces, the Department
has to become a more responsive and customer focused agency. To ensure that this is
accomplished, the Department began to develop a Strategic Plan to guide staff in reaching
these objectives. The goal was to involve all staff in the development and produce a set
of documents that would guide staff in performing the Department's mission. This is the
first strategic planning process ever embarked on by the Building Inspection Department.
It is the intent of the Department to meet the stated objectives within a two year time frame.
All staff had input into the process through a team of sixteen (16)employees. The sixteen
member°Expanded Management Team" included Division Managers, Supervisors, and
Line Staff. The Expanded Management Team met during a twelve-month period at the
Training Institute to develop the Plan. The strategic plan development effort was aided by
facilitation of Al Baldwin and Bob Stitt for which the Department is deeply grateful.
The Plan is formulated in the following parts:
1. The Department's Mission and Vision Statements that define the
Department.
2. The Department's principal Internal/External Customers and
Internal/External Stakeholders.
3. The Critical Environmental Forces that affect the Department.
4. The Operating Principles.
5. The Goals, Objectives and Actions Plans, which are obtainable during the
next two years.
The original list of objectives and actions were too numerous, and it was later determined
with the help of scheduling (Gantt) charts that the original list could not be achieved within
a two-year time frame. Therefore, the decision was made to select the top fourteen
ranked objectives. The ranked objectives are addressed in the first portion of the Plan. All
seven goals are represented in the final selection of the objectives. Members of the
Management Team volunteered to act as "Champions" for one or more objectives. The
role of the champion is to facilitate, track, schedule (time frames), motivate, and ultimately
be held accountable for accomplishing the goal.
While this has been an internal departmental effort, the Department has solicited the input
of the County Administrator's Office and each Board member. Their advice and
suggestions have been incorporated in the document. The Department would like to
recommend that the document be made available to the public for their review and
comments until January 1, 2002. Once the feedback from the public has been
incorporated, the Strategic Plan final document will be presented to the Board at a future
meeting.
