P7 - Define and Implement Future Service Delivery Model -Process Improvements...Fairfax County
The document outlines the scope, deliverables, process prioritization, and work plan for a project to define and implement a future customer-centric service delivery model. The project will inventory and map current processes, streamline high priority processes, define metrics and timelines, and develop a continuous improvement program. Deliverables include process maps, journey maps for priority processes, five streamlined processes with metrics and timelines, and a mechanism for continuous process improvement. A prioritization matrix identified the top ten priority processes, including commercial building permits and new tenant layouts. A work plan was presented with process mapping and improvements occurring from summer through winter.
The document provides an update on Fairfax County's efforts to achieve Goal 3 of its Economic Success Strategic Plan, which is to improve the speed, consistency, and predictability of the development review process. It discusses initiatives that have been implemented, such as streamlining inspection processes and reducing review timelines. It also outlines seven initial initiatives prioritized by agency directors to address cross-agency challenges, including creating a joint training academy, a customer information center, and evaluating project management approaches. Various workgroups provide status updates on their efforts to accomplish initiatives related to proffers, small businesses, parking, and restaurants. A timeline is also included for completing the strategic assessment of the development review process.
The document outlines Fairfax County's strategic plan to facilitate economic success through improving various programs and processes.
