Frequently Asked Questions
What is Strategic Planning?
Strategic Plan Management involves formulation and implementation of the major goals and initiatives identified by executive leadership based on consideration of resources and an assessment of external and internal environments and integrating the results into goals, objectives, and strategies.
The 2026 Strategic Plan framework and Priority list align the Board’s overall vision for the County with identifiable and measurable priorities. Furthermore, the Strategic Initiatives Division and Office of Management Budget will ensure proper alignment between County priorities and the annual Priority-Based Budget development process.
The framework includes the County’s Values, Mission, Vision, Focus Areas, and Objectives. The Values articulate the culture of our organization and support the Vision and Mission to unlock a high-performing workplace. The Focus Areas utilize strategic priorities to further the Vision and Mission while the Objectives identify specific and measurable goals our teams seek to accomplish.
The Priority list is a Board approved set of projects that will be tracked throughout the year and updated either on a quarterly basis or annual basis. The projects are highly critical tasks that will undergo measurable work throughout the calendar year and be aligned with the Priority-Based Budgeting initiative.
Why does Collier County need a Strategic Plan?
A strategic plan is a comprehensive, long‑term planning document that outlines an organization’s goals and objectives. When paired with priority‑based budgeting, the strategic plan provides clear direction for executive leadership to align financial and capital operations with the county's vision, mission, and values.
