Other Information:

Strategies 􀂄 Develop closer collaboration between operating units of LSC. In order to assure that the various units of LSC communicate the same message, LSC will insure that policy and procedure communications within each office get shared with other offices. LSC will evaluate whether to conduct more joint visits with OCE and OPP to further this collaboration. 􀂄 Make LSC a model of diversity and inclusiveness. As will be done with grantees, LSC will examine its own staffing and, through appropriate development and hiring, will strive to make LSC a model for diversity in staffing. 􀂄 Add to the capacity of LSC staff by enhancing skills through training and career development. LSC will institute a formal plan for assessing the training and career development needs of its employees and will develop a system for assuring that such needs are addressed. 􀂄 Enhance database capacities and knowledge management capabilities. LSC will keep its information technology (IT) operations up to date and will implement a knowledge management system as a part of its IT system. 􀂄 Ensure timeliness of LSC written products. LSC will reduce the time necessary to complete its written products. Goals will be set for average times for field reports to be prepared for management, delivered to the field, and closed appropriately. Goals will also be set for posting and filling vacancies and for closing financial statements.
