The County of Los Angeles embarked on a strategic planning effort to develop a vision, purpose, values, goals, strategies, and objectives to serve the residents of Los Angeles County.

Public Works' Plan is closely aligned with the Countywide goals of Service Excellence, Organizational Effectiveness, Fiscal Responsibility, Workforce Excellence, Children and Families’ Well-Being, Community Services, Health and Mental Health, and Public Safety. Our Plan outlines the actions that we must take in the next three to five years to accomplish our mission. Our Plan is a “living document” which will continually be updated as implementation moves forward and new strategic issues are identified.

The revised DPW Strategic Plan consists of two overarching goals: Performance Management and Values Management. Performance Management addresses the work performed, and Values Management addresses the workforce. The Values Management Goal is comprise of five (5) Strategic Focus Areas.
