The City of Tallahassee’s Strategic Plan 2024

STRATEGIC PLAN DRAFT UPDATED NOVEMBER 6, 2019

This strategic plan sets the course for the City of Tallahassee to achieve a specific set of priorities, goals, and objectives by 2024. It does so within the context of the community’s long-term Comprehensive Plan and shapes fiscal policy set forth within future annual budget documents.

Rather than simply preparing or adapting to the future, strategic planning focuses on channeling our resources to bridge the gap between present conditions and future goals. The City of Tallahassee’s 2020-2024 Strategic Plan is a management tool that helps the organization assess the current operating environment, anticipate changes, envision the future, and increase effectiveness. This plan also fosters our commitment to be the national leader in public service delivery by helping us achieve consensus on our objectives and how we measure progress.

Strategic planning for public service organizations is based on the notion that leaders must be effective strategists if their organizations are to recognize a future vision, fulfill their missions, and meet their communities’ future needs. Effective strategies cope with changing circumstances and give leaders context for decision-making.
