Overview

The City of Colorado Springs is in the process of developing a community-driven Strategic Plan that emphasizes the Mayor Yemi’s core vision for the next four-years (2024 to 2028). The Strategic Plan informs performance management allowing the City to monitor, report and employ flexibility to adjust how the City team achieves its desired outcomes. The development of the Strategic Plan involves collaboration with the Strategic Plan Development Workgroup (SPDWG), City Leadership, all staff members, identified leaders within the community, and our consulting partners BerryDunn.

Community Review of the Strategic Plan

Our community is what makes Colorado Springs the great city it is. To develop a plan that truly reflects the Colorado Springs community, we need to hear from residents. Their input is invaluable in guiding the City’s vision and aligning City goals, priorities, and budgets over the next five years.

Residents are able to provide feedback on the plan by attending the in-person or virtual public meetings on June 11. There is also an online survey and ideas wall where residents can review aspects of the Strategic Plan to provide direct feedback.

About

Why a strategic plan and why is it important?

Strategic planning produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, who it serves, what it does, and why it does it, all with a focus on the future. Effective strategic planning articulates not only where an organization is going and the actions needed to make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.

Strategic planning is an organizational management activity to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and adjust the organization’s direction in response to a changing environment.
