1. PURPOSE
This policy establishes a framework that integrates planning, budgeting, reporting,
evaluating and decision making for all Maricopa County departments and agencies.
This framework is called Managing for Results; a management system that
establishes the requirements to fulfill the County’s Mission and Vision of
accountability to its citizens.
This policy is promulgated as part of the annual County budget process under the
authority of the Board of Supervisors.
2. DEFINITIONS
Managing for Results System – Managing for Results means that an entire
organization, its management system, its employees and the organizational culture
(beliefs, behavior and language), are focused on achieving results for the customer.
Managing for Results provides direction for making good business decisions based
on performance, and makes departments/agencies accountable for results.
Strategic Plan – A Strategic Plan sets forth the mission, strategic goals, and
performance measurements for a department, agency and the County. A Strategic
Plan provides information to department/agency staff, corporate decision makers,
the Board of Supervisors and the public about how the department/agency is
organized to deliver results and what results the department/agency is accountable
for achieving. It also provides the opportunity for all County employees to see how
they contribute at all levels in the organization.
Managing for Results Resource Guide – This guide describes Maricopa County’s
strategic planning process, and how to develop and implement a plan. The
Resource Guide is available to all County employees.
Department/Agency – This includes appointed departments, offices, elected
departments, special districts and the judicial branch.
