For over 20 years, the Miami-Dade County Office of Management and budget (OMB) has been the steward of the County’s strategic plan and performance management system ensuring that the strategic plan is a relevant document that aligns the work of nearly 30,000 County employees to achieve the County’s mission. It is a challenge to ensure that new mayoral priorities are identified and highlighted, while continuing to ensure countywide strategic alignment. This challenge became particularly evident in 2021 when the new mayor introduced her civic engagement initiative, Thrive305. In response, OMB developed a process to build on the existing strategic management framework while adding new flexibility for elected officials to highlight key priorities in the future. With the adoption of the new budget effective October 1, 2022, the new featured objectives that align with the new priorities became part of the County’s strategic plan formalizing a means for making adjustments on a yearly basis, all of which can be done without the need for additional resources.
