The Unification Theory
A New Vision. A New Partnership.
The partnership among Strategic Steps, It's Logical and ResourceX brings a new vision of good governance that endeavors to address the responsibility on local governments to identify demands, determine how to deliver them, and at what scale; to actually respond to those demands with programs, services, amenities, and facilities; and then to check that the demand has been met to the ability of the local government. This process is a loop, where one period’s results will help inform the next period’s plans. This new partnership takes into account each step within this loop to ensure adequate emphasis and attention to each responsibility area.

The Bridge between Why and What

The strategic plan sets goals in place that drive a shared vision forward. That strategic plan is complemented by business plans that commit resources toward achieving these goals. This is where priorities lie and decisions are made. Part aspiration and part inspiration, the framework assigns certain roles and clearly defines accountability. All the pieces together are “the intent” within “Great Governance with intent”.

Great Governance
An intentional focus on creating the conditions to assist citizens in achieving their fullest potential. As elected officials and those who work for the community, it is our role to understand our public desires and strive to maximize well-being returns for their investment into the community. It is the utilization of strategic planning, developing a well-being baseline, and applying Priority Based Budgeting that helps achieve the overarching goal of great governance.
Strategic Planning Framework
Alignment of focus between Community – Council – Municipal Operations. Clarity of Purpose that thrives for a generation or more. With both alignment and clarity come expectations of commitment and performance to achieve well-being success for all stakeholders.
The framework includes a set of robust goals, strategies to achieve the goals and measures that identify when success has been achieved.
Well-Being Baseline
A powerful tool in creating a richer relationship between the community and the municipality is understanding the well-being of citizens – today, tomorrow and into the future. The relationship becomes one of driving value for community investments as opposed to minimizing tax increases. Value is determined by returns achieved in furthering well-being for all.
Priority Based Budgeting
Priority Based budgeting is a common sense, data-driven approach to budgeting and decision making. The philosophy of PBB is that resources should be allocated according to how effectively a program or service achieves the strategic plan, and goals, that are of most significant value to the community. Providing reallocation opportunities to address key objectives such as climate change, equity, well-being, homelessness and sustainability.
