Centre’s 2023 Strategic Planning Session Sets Goals for Future

In June of 2023, over a two-day interactive strategic planning session, employees from Centre’s administration along with management, clinical, and direct care positions from all of Centre’s locations across the state took on the task of developing the agency’s Strategic Plan for the next three to five years.

To establish goals and direction, participants considered information from the following sources:

• Previous Strategic Plan/Progress Reports
• Summary of feedback from the 2023 Employee Survey
• Client/Program Statistics/Outcomes from 2022
• Summary of Client Survey results
• Reports/recommendations from the agency’s most recent Correction Program Checklist (CPC) reviews

The Strategic Planning Committee developed the following three goals:

• Programming: To improve and enhance the quality of services provided to Centre clients and maximize positive outcomes
• Personnel: To improve and enhance employee recruitment, onboarding, training, development, retention, and satisfaction
• Data, Statistics, & Outcomes: To consistently and effectively measure meaningful outputs/outcomes and utilize the information to improve and enhance Centre programs/programming

A chairperson was selected for each goal. The chairperson is responsible for organizing a committee of agency personnel. The committees are responsible for establishing each goal, the priorities, action steps, and a time frame for achieving the goal.

We are proud of the work that has been accomplished thus far and are looking forward to making progress towards accomplishing the above goals over the next few years.
