Why would a county government need to engage in strategic planning? In this episode, Chief Operating Officer Anne Hughes and MSU Local Government Center Director Dan Clark join the commissioners to discuss Missoula County's strategic planning process and how it helps the organization advance beyond "the way we've always done it." This includes planning through the lens of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion; incorporating flexibility to accommodate all county departments; and infusing empathy into local government.
Missoula County is carving out a courageous new path in hopes of creating an efficient model that will be used not only for the County, but also as a valuable resource across Montana. This episode is full of leadership nuggets and exemplifies the power of creating a framework that benefits not only your organization, but the community it serves in the best way possible.
