Like your public power peers, you must map out your utility’s future through a rocky terrain. But you don’t have much time or the budget to commit to an elaborate endeavor. That’s why Hometown Connections has perfected a simple technique for evaluating your operations and determining your priorities and goals for the next five years. Our facilitators will lead your team through a process to assist you in solidifying a clear and unified future direction for your utility.
The Hometown Connections Proven Technique for Strategic Planning
Hometown Connections, Inc. is the non-profit organization empowering community-owned utilities to maximize their potential. The Hometown staff has facilitated strategic planning initiatives for hundreds of public utilities. Rather than result in a thick document that collects dust on a shelf, Hometown enables each utility to create a practical and goal-oriented plan for the road ahead.
The Hometown Connections strategic planning process includes:
- Engaging your governing board and other stakeholders
- Defining your utility’s vision, mission, and core values
- Determining your utility’s strengths, limitations, opportunities & threats
- Focusing on what your customers/target markets think and want
- Identifying and prioritizing issues your utility must address within the next five years
- Defining outcomes and actions for implementing your strategic plan
