From Strategy to Execution: Turning Plans into Performance

Councils rarely lack plans. Strategic plans, master plans, budgets, and KPIs are everywhere, yet the execution gap appears when they run side by side instead of together. A practical look at how the City of Burlington links a 25-year vision to five-year strategy, annual business planning, continuous improvement, and change leadership, so that strategy shapes how people work every day.

What You'll Learn

Key Highlights From the Session

1
How Burlington’s 25-5-1 model connects a 25-year vision (Horizon 2050), a five-year corporate strategy, and annual business plans and budgets, and how to decide what to do now, do next, defer, or stop.
2
How to combine departmental accountability with a service management lens, and measure performance at the right level without measuring everything.
3
Practical first steps for getting started: take stock of the processes you already have, connect them into one system, and use change leadership so improvement is a trusted partnership, not an audit.
