On behalf of the men and women of the Novi Fire Department, I am
proud to present the Department’s first-ever Strategic Plan. This
document is the result of dozens of hours of input and planning by
not only the Strategic Planning Team, but also the majority of Fire
Department team members. All Fire Department personnel were invited
to participate in the planning process and help shape the vision and
future.
The process began in late spring 2010 with a core team of key
staff members making up the Strategic Planning Steering Committee. I
thank each of them for their time, energy and commitment to this
project. As a result of the various input received, five Strategic
Priorities were identified:
- Equipment and Technology
To enhance the
operational efficiencies of the FD through the use/deployment of
modern EMS/Fire equipment and technology and current Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP’s).
- Organizational Culture
To become a model
combination organization which embodies mutual respect,
consistent communication, and an effective departmental
structure.
- Community Outreach
Promote and market
the value of the Novi Fire Department through education and
prevention outreach.
- Training
Continue to implement effective
training which further enhances the professional growth and
development of ALL personnel.
- Partnerships
Continue to strengthen
existing partnerships and explore new opportunities which
enhance service delivery.
As we embark over the course of the next few years, Novi Fire
Department team members will strive to accomplish the action items
of this document toward our ultimate goal of delivering service
excellence and optimally functioning as a high performing
organization.
