WJS Strategic Plan for 2009
Our plan this year focuses on five key areas: Service
Quality, Governance, Marketing, Information Technology and Financial Stability.
Within each of these strategic priorities, we have defined Results, Strategies
and Actions to move us forward.
As examples, we acknowledge Service Quality as a priority, and recognize the critical importance of developing new services and competencies
to deliver those services. We’ll continue to focus on human resources, and reinforce initiatives that create a healthy workforce who can, in turn,
more capably support the individuals in our service.
We're improving the “central nervous system” of WJS, our IT department to
make our services more effective by reducing travel and improving paper
management while improving communication. We'll also use
technology such as video conferencing, human
resource scheduling software, e-mail for all employees, deployment of alternative
personal electronic devices, and implementation of case
management software, to bring us together and make us more efficient.
Our CEO, Peter Farnden says, “I believe the changes to our
Strategic Plan better prepare us for the uncertainty we face.I invite you to join me in working toward a
successful future.”
