CITY OF VAUGHAN EXTRACT FROM COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 19, 2016 Item 5, Finance Report No. 5 Page 2 Purpose On September 30, 2015, Council approved the Term of Council Service Excellence Strategy Map that identifies Council s priorities for 2014-2018 (Term of Council Priorities) and the strategic initiatives the City will undertake to build capacity, focus and deliver on these priorities (Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives). The Map was developed to align the City s priorities, people, processes and technology so that we can deliver on our commitments for this term of Council. On December 15, 2015, Council approved the 2016 Budget and 2017-18 Financial Plan, which aligns the City s three-year budget with the Strategy Map while keeping the tax rate in line with targets set by Council. This report provides an update on the Term of Council Service Excellence Strategy Map, including the key activities aligned to the Term of Council Priorities, the Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives, and governance and progress reporting to support the delivery of the Strategy Map. Background - Analysis and Options 130 key activities most significantly support the Term of Council Priorities, and staff will focus on advancing these initiatives by 2018. The Senior Management Team aligned the commitments identified in the 2016 Budget and 2017-18 Financial Plan to the Term of Council Priorities. These 130 key activities are the most significant, community-facing initiatives that support the goals on the Strategy Map. They include capital and operating budget projects with discrete and trackable milestones that will be advanced during this term of Council. Department resources and enabling support services have been aligned to these key activities, while balancing the need to continue delivering high quality services to the community. They will be used to establish key performance measures for the Strategy Map, and analyze and mitigate risks to achieving Council s Priorities. Attachment 1 includes the list of key activities. The Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives are collaborative, cross-functional projects to improve citizen experience, operational performance and staff engagement. The 2016 Budget and 2017-18 Financial Plan included an investment of $2.1M in operating and capital funding for the Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives to achieve the following outcomes: Meet Council tax rate targets (no greater than three per cent each year) Improve service and business processes to enable execution of Term of Council Priorities Deliver a consistent citizen experience Engage citizens and businesses in decision-making Improve the end-to-end customer journey and service delivery through digital technology Create a more collaborative workforce Support employees through change Build alignment to and accountability for the Term of Council Service Excellence Strategy Map These outcomes are supported by the Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives. These initiatives were prioritized based on input from the first annual staff forum on October 15-16, 2015, monthly Senior Management Team workshops, and the first manager and supervisor forum on March 2, 2016. They have been evaluated for their alignment to the Service Excellence outcomes and resource requirements. The Service Excellence Strategic Initiatives leverage and supplement approved capital funding. /3
