A draft of the Committee's 2021 Report Card on implementation of Strategic Plan actions was
circulated to members.
The Report Card outlines the Committee's approach in undertaking its evaluation using the
following criteria: timing; impact, accountability; and budget. Actions were assessed as
exceeding expectations, meeting expectations, or not meeting expectations. Six projects were
evaluated as exceeding expectations with another six as meeting expectations. Thirteen
projects are still to be completed and will be evaluated once done.
Ms. K. Cooper reviewed the draft Report Card with members sharing feedback and additional
comments to be included in the final version. Members also held a roundtable regarding the
value of public engagement and agreed upon content to include in the Report Card.
PREPARATION FOR NOVEMBER MEETING WITH THE CORPORATE LEADERSHIP TEAM
Compass Kitchener was reminded the next committee meeting will have members of the
Corporate Leadership Team (CLT) in attendance to discuss the Committee's evaluation of the
Strategic Plan's implementation. As this meeting will be held virtually, Ms. K. Cooper suggested
that Compass Kitchener members present on each of the identified projects, providing highlights
along with the Committee's feedback and recommendations.
To make effective use of CLT's time, it was also suggested the projects be aligned by Strategic
Plan theme and presented in a grouped format. Ms. J. Stephens -Wells, Ms. R. Lavender and
Mr. O. Samad volunteered to present. It was agreed to limit Compass Kitchener's evaluation
presentation to 15 minutes to allow ample time for CLT feedback and discussion. The Committee
Administrator was asked to survey members to assign presentation topics.
Ms. K. Cooper agreed to circulate the revised Report Card to all Committee members in advance
of finalizing same.
