6. FY2017 Strategic Plan Implementation Summary
Chad Shaffer distributed copies of the report, “DuPage County FY2017 Strategic Initiative Implementation Summary.” This report summarizes the strategic initiative updates provided to parent committees in FY2017. The summary lists each initiative alphabetically by department under the strategic imperative it seeks to impact (those imperatives are Quality of Life; Financial Planning; Customer Service; ACT Initiative; Economic Growth). Each initiative lists key actions taken by County departments. Some highlights include: the Building and Zoning department’s launch of the Revitalization Program (under “Quality of Life”); the Community Services department’s development of a medication-assisted drug treatment pilot program partnering with the Health Department and Drug Court (under “Financial Planning”); the Human Resources department’s rollout of the Employee Self-Service module for County employees in 2017 (under “Customer Service”); and the County’s collaboration with the Forest Preserve District on a variety of projects to share resources and cooperatively purchase goods, which today has generated over $275,000.00 in efficiencies (under “ACT Initiative”). Mr. Shaffer noted that the report will be sent to the entire County Board with a memo from Chairman Grasso. Departments will continue implementing their strategic initiatives and providing updates to their parent committees through the remainder of 2017. Their progress will continue to be monitored, and the implementation summary report will be updated at the end of the fiscal year.
This fall, departments will be asked again to identify up to five strategic initiatives to carry out the County’s strategic plan and outline a plan for implementation during Fiscal Year 2018.
