Parks and Open Space Strategic Planning <br />Agenda Item Template <br />Title: <br />Innovative and Engaged Work Teams <br />Description: <br />This is a discussion about how we continue to promote and prioritize an innovative <br />workplace. What incentives are in place to keep people motivated and looking to the future <br />for who we can be and not what we've always been. I expect this discussion to look at trends <br />in the industry and how we get ahead of them. <br />Example: The first digital camera was invented by a Kodak employee. They, of course, did <br />not support this because it took away from their film industry. Now they are re- inventing <br />themselves and are playing catch up. <br />Why is this important? <br />This is important because it keeps us connected to what's happening in the community and <br />keeps our work relevant, efficient and effective. We all know that something will have to shift; <br />we can't just keep asking for new FTE, we need to think about how we can do the work <br />differently. <br />Who's Involved: <br />Stakeholders- All POS, at some point; AFSCME, ? <br />Decision Makers- Leadership Team, meaning all sup's and managers. <br />Resources: <br />I think the resources would include the Comprehensive Plan, but would also require meetings <br />with focus groups of employees and some of our outside partners. <br />Timeliness: <br />This conversation could come after some of the goal setting and who are we conversations, <br />but should be relatively high on the list. <br />Recommended Actions: <br />All of us should look at.trends, get up to speed on agencies and companies that are adapting <br />and flexing with a supportive work force. <br />Agenda Item Sponsor: <br />Sarah and Eric <br />Strategic Planning Template February 2007 <br />
