Strategic Plan

Project Description & Overview

Project Steering Committee Group Meeting

With the guidance of Raftelis Consultants, the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority and Rivanna Solid Waste Authority initiated a joint strategic planning process beginning in June 2022 to update the organizational vision and a framework for guiding the utility into the future. The strategic framework will help guide investment, allocate resources, and provide a structure for annual reviews to assure that long-term goals and objectives are achieved.

Process

Rivanna’s strategic planning process was designed to assure a shared vision of Rivanna’s ultimate goals, a collective understanding of the available resources, the principles upon which strategies are based, and acceptance of the direction and urgency of the strategic and operating plans, which will be integrated into the way Rivanna is operated on a day-to-day basis.

The planning process involved input from a broad group of internal and external stakeholders. Major elements of the process included: Stakeholder Input, Foundation Workshops, Goal Teams, Strategy Workshops, and Project Steering Team Review.

Goal Teams

The Goal Teams, comprised of more than 60 employees from across the organization, are knowledgeable, energized, and committed to the implementation of the Strategies for their respective Goals.
