The AOC’s Strategic Plan: Looking Toward the Future
Fiscal Year 2019 represented the midpoint in AOC’s five-year Strategic Plan. As such, it provided an opportunity for the organization to reflect on progress made in accomplishing its goals and implement adjustments to the strategies to reflect changes in the AOC’s operating environment. Over the past two fiscal years, the AOC defined strategic initiatives and realigned processes and roles to meet the strategic goals and objectives documented in the Strategic Plan. The AOC Performance Plan FY 2019–FY 2020 details these enterprise strategic initiatives. The agency identified three critical areas:
1. Aligning Planning, Strategy and Risk: The AOC will take an enterprise approach to identify and manage risks to its strategic goals. The agency will embed risks to executing initiatives and actions to advance the strategic goals and objectives in the organization’s performance management and governance processes. As the AOC identifies and prioritizes risks to achieving the strategic goals and objectives, the agency will develop risk response plans to aid in managing risks to an acceptable level.
2. Strengthening the Use of Data to Improve Performance: The agency views data as a strategic asset and will draw upon new sources from automated systems, data marts and jurisdictional data gathering and reporting activities to provide the business intelligence necessary to manage and improve performance. As discussed in Section II: Performance Information, the AOC began refining its KPIs to assess progress on accomplishing strategic goals and operational performance. The AOC will continue to develop corporate and jurisdiction-level performance dashboards to provide agency leadership, managers and other analysts with access to data reporting, visualization and analytics that promote informed operational and strategic decisions.
3. Improving Impact Assessments: The AOC will include a change management component in each of its strategic initiatives to ensure appropriate, early consideration is given to how the organization will integrate the initiatives with ongoing processes, policies and procedures. While all strategic initiatives may not require a detailed change management plan, the AOC will formalize an executive review of the resulting changes.
The AOC’s Performance Plan FY 2020–FY 2021 notes how the organization is incorporating these areas into its governance and monitoring processes.
