Raftelis works collaboratively with local governments and utilities to develop strategic plans that are customized for their specific context. We do this by involving employees, governing bodies, and stakeholders to create a plan that is engaging, relevant, and practical to allow your leadership to prioritize your community’s needs and track progress in meeting your objectives.
A successful strategic planning process helps your organization have:
Our strategic planning approach includes a focus on engaging stakeholders early through interviews, focus groups, workshops, retreats, and facilitated meetings to drive the planning process and to develop relevant goals and objectives that meet the needs of your community and organization. Our approach is highly customizable and builds on professional best practices including goal and strategy identification and a focus on plan implementation.
Even the most in-depth and skillfully developed strategic plan will fall short of success if the plan sits on a shelf. Raftelis works with local governments and utilities after the development of the plan to ensure successful implementation on a realistic timeline. We also provide tools to track progress as the objectives and strategies of the plan come to fruition.
Ellio uses interactive dashboards and data to help local governments and utilities learn from their peers, plan for their financial futures, and progress toward their goals. Check out these videos to learn how you can use Ellio to help your organization thrive.
The Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans partnered with Raftelis recently to change its trajectory from operating in a sometimes reactive manner to putting in place a forward-thinking, strategic approach to overcoming legacy underinvestment in infrastructure, technology, and its workforce.
Raftelis, along with our partner Opportunity Knocks, Inc. (OKI), was engaged by the District of Columbia Department of Public Works to perform strategic planning development and workforce assessment services.
