CIWMB 2001 Strategic Plan

Strategic Planning Process

• Data Gathering
• Strategic Planning Steering Committee and Workgroups
• Cal/EPA Strategic Vision

The CIWMB continues its formal strategic planning efforts with the publication of this plan in 2001. This effort and those before it have established the future direction and accompanying priorities for the organization. In developing this plan, those within and outside the organization reflected on the CIWMB’s future in light of where it is today and where it has been in the past. This plan provides a vision of the future for the organization and describes specific actions needed to achieve success.

Data Gathering

Input from a broad representation of internal and external stakeholders was solicited and received throughout the development of this plan. Public forums were conducted so that the Board could obtain broad policy input on key waste management issues of the future from a representative group of its internal and external stakeholders. Stakeholder groups participating in the forums included representatives from the regulated community, environmental groups, local and state government agencies, CIWMB staff, and other experts in the field of waste management. See Appendix B for a list of stakeholders who participated in the public forums.

In addition, upon completion of the public forums, each Board Member provided his or her views on the key waste management issues impacting the future direction of the CIWMB to guide the development of priority goals and objectives.

Strategic Planning Steering Committee and Workgroups

A steering committee with representation from Board Member offices and executive staff crafted the process for the development of the strategic plan. In developing the plan’s content, the organization’s executives guided cross-organizational workgroups, including representation from staff and Board Member offices.

At several key points in the development process, Board Member input and public comment were received on draft portions of the content. In addition, the draft plan was presented to a cross-agency workgroup with representation by Cal/EPA’s boards, departments, and office, as well as Cal/EPA’s Office of the Secretary for review and comment.

Cal/EPA Strategic Vision

Cal/EPA’s Strategic Vision established a framework for the development of the CIWMB’s 2001 Strategic Plan. The elements included in this plan support the future direction of the CIWMB, are aligned with the goals of Cal/EPA, and complement efforts across Cal/EPA’s boards, departments, and office.
