i <br /> b B e r r y D u n n ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 11:15 a.m. — 12:00 p.m. Review/Develop the County's Core Values/Develop <br /> Guiding Principles <br /> Guiding Principles Guiding principles are the precepts that guide an <br /> organization throughout its life in all circumstances, <br /> irrespective of changes in its goals, strategies, type of work <br /> or the top management. They are expectations for how the <br /> County will conduct its business, make decisions, and deliver <br /> programs and services to the community. <br /> Group Discussion What principles accurately capture how the Board would like <br /> the County to carry out its mission and vision? <br /> Capture group's insights/perspectives/ideas, synthesize, and <br /> check for understanding and agreement. <br /> Outcome Short set of essential core values/guiding principles. <br /> 12:00 — 1:00 p.m. Lunch <br /> 1:00 —3:00 p.m. Identify Strategic Priorities <br /> Strategic Priorities The Strategic Priorities are the broad areas where you want <br /> to focus the County's resources and energy to achieve the <br /> vision. <br /> Individual Exercise Everyone will spend a few minutes reflecting on the following <br /> Instructions question individually and write down any ideas they want to <br /> share with the group: <br /> • Based on what we learned from the Environmental <br /> Scan and what we collectively know about Orange <br /> County, what are the four to five strategic areas of <br /> focus that should guide the next two to five years, so <br /> we can make progress toward our shared vision? <br /> • Are the initial priorities identified during the Strategic <br /> Planning orientation in February 2023 still relevant? <br /> Each commission member will share the ideas that came to <br /> mind. Consider the following: <br /> • How would we define the current and future state of <br /> each of these focus areas? <br /> • If we make gains in these areas, will we achieve our <br /> vision? <br /> • If the answer is no, what should we focus on instead? <br />
