Building a

Waukesha County Mission Statement

The mission of the Waukesha County government is to promote the health, safety, and quality of life of citizens while fostering an economically vibrant community. We are committed to delivering effective, high-quality programs and services in a courteous and fiscally prudent manner.

What is Strategic Planning?

Strategic Planning provides a proactive road map for an organization, based upon goals, principles and values. It is not an operational plan or specific business plan, it involves where we want to go as a County, not necessarily how we are going to get there. Strategic Plans identify key issues facing the County through data collection and stakeholder involvement.

Moving the County Forward through Strategic Planning

Every Department within Waukesha County develops its own Strategic Plan in order to identify desired objectives over the course of the next three years. These objectives are considered milestones to be reached, so each one is designed to be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timebound (SMART).
