Work continued in December 2008 on Q-4 implementation of 19 major Tasks and 58 additional support Tasks. Good progress was made on the Q-4 highest priority items and a final report will be prepared at the end of the quarter, in early 2009. Additional implementation enhancements were made with a complete review of the 2009 Calendar-of-Events for establishing priorities and additional Staff was utilized to coordinate Plan implementation with Council Volunteer Leaders. Filling key leadership positions is still a significant concern, in order to achieve our Strategic Plan goals.

11-2008 - Progress continued on Q-4 assigned Tasks defined on the Implementation Tracking forms. A detailed status report was presented at the Executive Committee meeting of the Board on 11-19-2008.
In order to enhance the implementation process, the following support was also provided by the strategic planning coordinator.

1. Completed a review of the Council 2009 calendar to identify specific annual event or project deadlines, in order to coordinate & synchronize those requirements with 2009 Strategic Plan objectives and specific Tasks.
2. Updated and sorted the Strategic Plan Implementation Gantt Chart to prioritize 2009 Tasks.
3. Developed Strategic Plan Implementation Tracking Forms for 2009 quarters 1-4. Prepared a communication of current implementation priorities for review in the weekly Council Staff meetings, to allow for the proper on-going emphasis for Plan objectives, as the Staff coordinates their responsibilities with Council Volunteer Leaders.
4. Met with the Program Committee Cabinet to discuss 2009 Strategic Plan priorities and specific Tasks.
5. Generated additional personal contacts, with Volunteer Leaders having current assigned Plan Tasks, in order to provide additional assistance and to obtain proper quarterly status reports for the Council Executive Board.

Q-3 2008 Status Report- follow this link.

09-2008 - In an effort to communicate details of the Strategic Plan, over 700 copies of the Plan marketing brochure were mailed along with the TPC 2007 Annual Report to individuals on the Executive Board, members of the 5 District Committees, Friends-of-Scouting, Endowment Fund participants and other registered donors. We also continued utilizing the Implementation Tracking forms for Q-3 2008. Meetings were held with assigned Volunteer Leaders to provide a package of materials, which included the 45 page Action Plan, a one page Executive Summary, marketing brochure, the implementation priority code sheet and the Tracking forms for Q-3 & Q-4 assignments.

08-2008 - Based on the 16 Major TPC Objectives, defined by the 5 Pillar Committees & recommended by the Steering Committee & approved by the Executive Board, we reviewed all of the supporting Tasks in the 45 page Action Plan and produced a Task Implementation Priority Code document. We then assigned these codes to each of the 197 Tasks on our Implementation Gantt Chart and re-sorted the Tasks on a computer, utilizing a Project Management computer program. We then prepared Implementation Tracking forms for Q-3 & Q-4 of 2008. These forms allowed us to assign specific Tasks to specific individuals or committees with specific deadlines, in the operational Functions of Membership, Finance, Program and Administration. The Tracking forms include a reference number back to the TPC 45 page Action Plan document, which remains the “primary source” for all Council implementation procedures through 2010. We continued to make favorable progress on the highest priorities through the first 2 quarters of the 3 year Strategic Plan, as shown on our Implementation Gantt Chart, but in order to proceed on schedule in 2008 there are several key leadership officer positions to be filled. Copies of all of these forms are available on this TPC Website, under Strategic Planning.

07-2008 - Progress continued for implementation of the highest priority Tasks, but key leadership positions need to be filled for President Elect, VP Development, VP Marketing and VP Endowment, in order to remain on schedule for implementation of the primary objectives in 2008.

06-2008 - The Tracking forms were enhanced with changes to assist our Council Volunteers & Staff assigned specific Tasks, priority codes were established and new Tasks were assigned to specific individuals or committees for implementation in Q-3 & Q-4.
