Strategic Planning Branch

Caitlin Intermill, Branch Chief
(317) 233-8501 


Strategic planning is a long-term management tool to help IDHS do a better job - to focus its energy, to ensure that members of the organization are working toward the same goals, to assess and adjust the organization's direction in response to a changing environment.  In short, strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization is, what it does, and why it does it, with a focus on the future.

The strategic planning process is as important as the plan itself.  The process will result in the identification of "stakeholders" (persons who will be responsible for-or affected by-the resulting activities) and potential leaders for the cause of public safety.  It can create open, collaborative channels of communication and lasting commitments.
