Why create and use a strategic plan?
OSBM uses plans:
• As a source of information on agency operations

• To evaluate change budget requests
During quarterly reviews, OSBM will:
• Provide feedback on an agency’s plan
• Ask about progress toward the goals and tasks outlined in an agency’s strategic plan

Why create and use a strategic plan?
Agencies should use plans to:
• To set priorities, especially for resource allocation
• To increase transparency and accountability
• To improve internal and external communication
• To enable benchmarking / performance evaluation
7
Monitoring your Strategic Plan
Annually: “Are we doing the right things?”• Ensure plan remains relevant• Revise measures, strategies, objectives as needed
Quarterly: “Are we doing what we said we would do?”• Assess progress toward strategic goals, objectives• Realign resources, refine strategies
Monthly: “Are we doing things right?”• Focus on a champion’s specific goal, objective• Adjust initiatives, tasks, tactics

Sample Annual Review Questions
1. Are we achieving our goals and objectives?
2. Has anything changed in the environment that should be reflected in the strategic plan?
• Are our goals, objectives, timelines still realistic?
• Are our performance measures still relevant?
3. Do priorities need to change in order to achieve our goals?
4. Do personnel have adequate resources (money, equipment, facilities, training, etc.) to achieve the goals?
5. What can be learned from our monitoring and evaluation in order to improve future efforts?

Sample Issues• Stress levels can be high in tax season
• Security, both physical and personal
• HQ-centric bias in opportunity, events and communications
• Short staff in some key area Staff needs
• Time to issues refunds
• Confusing notices
• Call shadowing should be allowed/mandatory
• Internal Customer/supplier issues and feedback on services
Sample Problem StatementsCareer Paths
• There are not defined career progression paths across the Agency. Because of this, staff are left to guess the Knowledge, Skills andAbilities that are needed to progress upwards or how best to plan along term career at the Agency.
Process Management
• Failure to identify and understand customer supplier relationships andincorporate feedback for continuous improvement may result ininefficient processes (examples of potential areas forcustomer/supplier communications/feedback are Central Examsnon-collectable false positives, Call Center transfer rate to TPA Level2).
Sample Strategic PlanHiring Feedback Problem
• The hiring process is not currently designed to provide feedback to internal applicants that were not selected. The lack of feedback denies staff the ability to understand where they may have opportunities tobetter themselves. This lack of transparency could inadvertently leave staff the impression that the hiring process is not fair and/or that there are other non-legitimate HR factors being considered.
Strategy
• In order to maintain a knowledgeable workforce, a cross-divisional Hiring Feedback team will be formedto design an agency-wide process to allow an opportunity for feedback to internal applicants who were not selected.
Outcomes
• Standard feedback process
• Identify all applicable HR regulations and guidelines
• Staff survey to provide satisfaction metrics
