21 OCPL Strategic Plan Implementation and Accountability The true test of our planning will be in the results. The best strategic plans are dynamic, flexible tools with room for continuous improvement. They enable a mindset that prepares our staff to be disciplined and focused while remaining open and adaptable when opportunities that support already- identified priorities arise. When implemented, this Strategic Plan will come to life through the work with our partners and our ongoing planning and budgeting processes. In particular, OCPL will support the progress of the Strategic Plan by: 1) Monitoring the changing internal and external environment annually and making adjustments as necessary. 2) Providing an annual operational and personnel budget request associated with the implementation of the Strategic Plan. 3) Expanding interdepartmental reporting to include the Data Dashboard and aligning the Strategic Plan and benchmark indicators such as circulation, segmented collection use, customer registration, collection, library visits, and programming attendance to make data - informed decisions. 4) Utilizing state and national metric surveys and tools to develop future services by branch based on trends, needs and community specific demographics. 5) Engaging customers and staff for feedback annually, through the use of surveys, interviews and suggestion boxes. 6) Providing updates to the community and elected officials as the plan is implemented through our Strategic Plan website. 7) Posting the Strategic Plan timeline to our website and updating it as action steps are completed. 6) Convening a Library Review Group to meet annually with the Library Director regarding strategic progress and to provide general feedback. 8) Re- evaluate and update Strategic Plan through a county -wide Community Assessment in Spring 2016.
