VESID has been doing strategic planning
for the last five years. During these years VESID staff have heard
from thousands of our customers; New Yorkers with disabilities and
employers who are looking for qualified people to hire.
VESID's goals are
based on what we heard from our customers and we have allocated our
resources to help achieve these goals. VESID has had
unprecedented success in achieving these goals. If we are to continue
this success, we must:
- determine how we will measure our
success towards each goal
- set standards that reflect high
expectations for each measure
- align our resources to support the
goals
- rigorously evaluate all activities
to determine the potential impact of each on our goals
- drop those activities that do not
directly impact on the goals, and redirect the resources used in
these activities to those that have a high impact on goal
attainment
- regularly assess and communicate our
progress
We are sharing these goals, measures
and standards with a wide audience that includes our customers and key
stakeholders. The objective is to get feedback. Although we welcome
all comments and suggestions on our goals and key performance
indicators, we will not lower our expectations.
Integration of New York State
Education Department (SED)/VESID Strategic Planning Processes
VESID does not provide services to
people with disabilities alone neither are we the only office in the
department to interact with employers; we share a commitment to our
customers with other SED offices. Therefore, VESID's goals and key
performance indicators must be congruent with those of the department
and, where we share responsibility and/or resource, complementary to
those of individual department offices.
VESID's office goals and those of all
units within VESID will be aligned with all SED offices and units.
This process is not based on a document but on communicating, sharing
resources and, most importantly, sharing the commitment and
responsibility for results.
