STRATEGIC PLAN 2018-2020 - Carlington Community Health Centre
STRATEGY
   Recognizing that the six Ottawa Community Health Centres (CHCs) share similar
   mandates, client profiles, and pressure points, a decision was made in 2010 to
   formalize our partnerships by embarking on a joint strategic planning process.
   From 2012 to 2017, the Carlington, Centretown, Pinecrest-Queensway and South-
   East Ottawa CHCs worked towards common strategic directions, including:
       • Enhancing the impact of their advocacy
       • Improving social capital among priority populations
       • Delivering high-quality programs and services, and
       • Strengthening the health of their respective organizations
   The collaborative strategic plan allowed the four CHCs to join forces on a number
   of priorities while still providing for each Centre to include in their individual plan,
   goals specific to their Centre based on the unique needs and priorities impacting
   their communities.
   Building on the success of this collaborative process, Somerset West and Sandy
   Hill CHCs agreed to join the Ottawa CHC collaborative strategic planning process
   for 2018 and beyond.
   A request-for-proposals was posted in 2016 and a consulting partner was
   retained to assist the six CHCs with planning, facilitation, strategic plan
   development, and project management.
   In May 2018, the boards of directors of the six CHCs were asked to approve the
   framework and guiding principles of the collaborative strategic plan.
   The six Ottawa CHCs are working on developing one, collaborative strategic plan.
   Three strategic priorities have been identified:
       1) Enhance Access for People with Complex Needs
       2) Demonstrate Quality through Impact
       3) Leverage Collective Capacity.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, additional work was done to flesh out the
   Complexity Framework used in the development of the collaborative plan.
   Carlington CHC’s senior management worked with a facilitator to develop
   strategic directions specific to CCHC and to clearly articulate the collaborative
   strategic directions for the Board of Directors and staff.
   A Carlington-specific objective was added:
       4) Strengthen organizational infrastructure
   Carlington’s approach to operational planning is being streamlined with the
   adoption of core service frameworks. Teams are developing operational plans for
   strategic priorities 1, 2 and 4.
   The CHC Collaborative has defined shared projects to operationalize #3.
   In November 2018, the Board of Directors formally approved the strategic
   plan that will guide Carlington CHC for the next three years.
