The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify a qualified consultant to facilitate and create the county’s next strategic plan. The Board seeks a consultant who has demonstrated experience in successfully developing consensus-based strategic plans, has strong facilitation skills, and has proven experience with local government strategic planning. The purpose of this project is to develop a strategic plan that reflects the priorities of our employees, Board of Supervisors, and community. The plan is expected to guide Johnson County operations and decision making for the next three to five years. The Johnson County strategic planning process and plan should: a. Establish and/or update the county’s vision, mission and values. b. Re-affirm and prioritize the role of Johnson County government in the community. c. Engage internal and external stakeholders to gather meaningful input. d. Identify key issues and set realistic, actionable steps to address them. e. Define and document shared goals and priorities for the County government for the plan timeline. f. Establish measurable milestones to track progress toward goals. g. Establish a method for evaluating plan progress and reporting on outcomes.
