Mission
?
TDOT’s strategic planning process starts with its mission – a statement describing the department’s core purpose and reason for being. TDOT’s mission statement was adopted in 1994. TDOT’s values are a list of guiding principles that define the common set of expectations on how business should be conducted by TDOT’s employees. All activities performed by the department are expected to subscribe to these values. TDOT’s strategic direction identifies the Emphasis Areas the organization will focus on for a four year planning horizon to assure its ability to successfully accomplish its mission. Desired Outcomes for each area of emphasis are defined. TDOT’s agency goals are submitted to the Governor as part of the department’s Strategic Plan. In fiscal year 2005-2006, TDOT was formally designated a performance-based budgeting agency. TDOT’s strategies identify the key approaches that the organization will take to help achieve desired outcomes. TDOT’s strategic initiatives are the projects that have been identified by the organization to help achieve TDOT’s strategic direction and goals. TDOT’s performance measurement framework provides a structured approach to the systematic assessment of the organization’s progress in fulfilling its mission and achieving its strategic direction.

TDOT STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
“Setting our strategic direction and defining our priorities keep TDOT focused on achieving results.” Commissioner Gerald Nicely
What is the TDOT Strategic Management Plan?
TDOT’s Strategic Management Plan outlines the direction and priorities for TDOT over the next four fiscal years. Consolidated into one document, the Strategic Management Plan outlines: • • • • the the the the strategic emphasis areas that make up TDOT’s strategic direction desired outcomes for each strategic area of emphasis strategies and initiatives to achieve the desired outcomes measures to track our performance
How was the TDOT Strategic Management Plan developed?
The strategic planning effort has been a thoughtful and inclusive one. An overview of the three phase planning process that was used to develop TDOT’s Strategic Direction and the Strategic Management Plan is shown below.
STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
Collecting and analyzing the data - Researched transportation industry and government trends - Reviewed TDOT current initiatives and internal reports - Conducted group meetings with directors and managers - Reviewed feedback from regional and district employee meetings (held by executive leaders from 2004 – 2007) - Conducted management interviews
PHASE I
Setting direction and desired outcomes - Compiled 2007 TDOT State of the Department Report PHASE II - Reexamined 25-Year Transportation Plan and 2006 TDOT Customer Satisfaction Survey Results - Solicited feedback from directors - Conducted strategic discussion sessions with executive leaders
Determining strategies and actions - Held four executive leadership work sessions - Developed bureau business plans - Developed division and region business plans
PHASE III
TDOT STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
Why does TDOT need a Strategic Management Plan?
TDOT sets its strategic direction every four years. The Fiscal Year 2008-2011 Strategic Management Plan builds on the progress made from the 2004-2006 strategic direction, helps us address the key trends, issues and challenges facing us, and identifies ways we can improve on the products and services we provide to our citizens. Turning our strategic direction into visible results requires the right actions be taken. The Strategic Management Plan is a tool to help us: • • • • clearly outline our key goals, strategies and initiatives maintain focus and allocate resources reinforce accountability make it clear what we want to achieve
The Strategic Management Plan does not address every TDOT activity, project, program or function. The plan is intended to focus on those strategies and initiatives that have been determined to require special attention over the next four years due to their potential impact on the future effectiveness of the department and our continued ability to successfully achieve our mission.
How will we monitor, update and track progress on the implementation of the TDOT Strategic Management Plan?
As we implement the Strategic Management Plan, it is important to monitor our progress on an on-going basis. Monitoring implementation of the Plan not only lets us know that we are doing the things that we said we would but also helps us know if we are getting the results we want. The 24-Month Initiatives in the Strategic Management Plan will be updated in 2009 as part of the department’s biennial business planning process. To measure progress toward achievement of our goals and desired outcomes, a set of performance measures has been established for each strategic emphasis area. These measures of performance will help us answer the question “How well are we doing?” Some of the ways that we will monitor and track progress on the Plan are: • quarterly progress reports on achieving the 24-Month Initiatives • quarterly reviews of performance measures • TDOT Performance Measurement Dashboard
(Available to all TDOT employees on the Intranet)
• annual progress review of the Strategic Management Plan by senior leaders For more information about the Tennessee Department of Transportation go to www.tennessee.gov/tdot For more information about TDOT’s strategic planning process and strategic management initiatives go to www.tennessee.gov/tdot/osp
