SCE Comments on 2013-2016 Work Plan
 Vision Statement
What would you like the world to look like in your realm of
responsibility.
 Mission Statement
Who are you? Who do you work with? What are your aims? How
do you expect to achieve them?
 Critical Success Factors
What assumptions do you make for your activities to move you
toward your objectives? What do you have to give special attention
to deliver high performance?
SCE Comments on 2013-2016 Work Plan
 Objectives and Key Performance Indicators
A.
B.
Objectives are what you need to accomplish or make measurable progress
to achieve in order to address critical problems that impede the group from
realizing its vision. Identify problems, and then formulate objectives by
describing the condition when the problem is solved.
How do you know that you have achieved your objective? Or are making progress
to achieve the objective? Key performance indicators can be: (1) Results oriented
that show measurable progress toward achieving the goal; or (2) Process oriented
that show activities designed to generate outputs to lead to achieving the goal.
KPIs should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic and Timely.
 Prioritized Implementation Schedule
Annual Work plan – for a one year period, document a schedule, including start
dates, milestone dates, and anticipated completion dates for each action
needed. Need to indicate the lead economy or fora for the activity and key
performance indicators or outputs expected to be generated that will lead to
achieving the overall objectives.
