Strategic Alignment
In 2021, Culture Counts completed a strategic alignment piece that identify a set of outcome metrics, known as ‘dimensions’, that connect survey data back to the City of Sydney’s strategic goals.
The project identified common objectives across the City’s overarching plans and various team strategies, resulting in a recommended set of metrics. These metrics enable team members to collect data that aligns with their individual objectives while simultaneously contributing to a shared dataset that underscores the City’s broad-reaching impact.
The alignment initiative referenced the City’s Strategic Community Plan (Sydney 2030) and the COVID-19 Community Recovery Plan, with consultation from various members of City of Sydney departments.
This aligned methodology makes it possible for data to be aggregated across City of Sydney teams, which assists in strategic planning and review, such as identifying where unique impacts are being created, celebrating successful initiatives or identifying areas for improvement.
