Strategic Plan 2022 FINAL option 1 - Flipbook - Page 4
About the Strategic Planning Process
Flagler County began the process of strategic planning with a retreat in November 2021. This retreat
was a daylong collaborative planning session including county and municipal administration along with
department directors. The goal of this retreat was to discuss best practices, to define the County’s vision
for the future, and to ensure the budget and staffing allocations are aligned to best provide services that
meet the needs of residents.
The county selected Analytica to facilitate the strategic planning process after review and evaluation of
the professional proposals submitted by qualified firms to provide this service. Analytica proved to be
well qualified to assist Flagler County as it has more than 30 years of specialized experience with public
entities, non-profits, and community organizations, including developing strategic plans for several
Florida counties.
The Board of County Commissioner’s first public Strategic Planning Workshop took place in February
2022. Analytica worked with County Commissioners, administration, and staff to analyze the County’s
financial condition, operational performance, customer requirements, and the forces at work in the current
economic, demographic, and legislative environment. Analytica, in conjunction with administration, held
community outreach events to gather ideas and analyze input. This information allows the County to
make better informed decisions and will enable us to address future community challenges.
The strategic planning process is used throughout various industries and sectors, private and nonprofits,
to direct an organization’s priorities, actions and overall direction. Flagler County utilizes the strategic
planning process to study broad issues from Commission and resident concerns to propose direct tasks
that will be implemented. Through the ongoing framework for performance excellence, the County will
focus on 1) Effective Government, 2) Economic Vitality, 3) Public Health & Safety, and 4) Growth &
Infrastructure. The County Commission and staff will renew its vision, mission, and strategic goals
on an annual basis to ensure we are meeting the needs of the community through our organizational
action.
