Learn how local governments can connect the strategic plan to the budget and tell their story.
Growing disillusionment among Americans presents a major hurdle for effective governance. This lack of confidence hinders support for essential initiatives, leads to governmental gridlock, and amplifies issues like burnout and understaffing.
To rebuild this trust, governments need to showcase change and its benefits. Governments must excel in change management, emphasizing the “Three C’s”: Capacity, Competence, and Collaboration. This involves strategic, sustainably funded plans powered by purpose-built technologies. An effective plan combined with innovative technology enables financial professionals to illustrate how strategic plans and budgets together can maximize community outcomes.
Presented by Euna Solutions® and Funkhouser & Associates, The Way Forward: Essential Steps for Strategic Planning outlines actionable steps, developed through extensive consultations with government officials, to establish how agencies can bridge the gap between strategic plans and the budget. Using purpose-built tools to achieve strategic budgeting will foster transparency and accountability in resource management to ensure that taxpayer funds are directed towards initiatives that produce the best results possible.
