Office of Strategic Initiatives & Innovation
Supporting the City strategy through department workshops
In December, the Strategic Initiatives and Innovation team led a series of strategic planning workshops that brought together staff from Emergency Management, Risk Management and the IT Help Desk to collaborate and align their goals with the City’ s FY 25 / 26 Strategic Plan. Each session was tailored to the department’ s unique role while maintaining a consistent structure that encouraged open dialogue, performance assessment, innovation and action planning.
Through these workshops, the SII team demonstrated its key role in fostering strategic thinking and innovation across City departments. By equipping teams with tools to assess performance, engage stakeholders and plan effectively, SII continues to drive meaningful progress toward a more resilient and resident focused City.
