Four Phases Planning Process The City of Boynton Beach contracted Emerge Consulting to organize and conduct the strategic visioning planning sessions with key city decision makers. 

Emerge Consulting, applied a Four (4) Phase Strategic Visioning Process as a guideline.  Below is a detailed outline of the outcomes for each phase, as well as a visual chart to explain the process utilized. 

Phase 1 - Current State and Phase 2 – Future State Design During Phase 1 and 2, the City Commission, Manager and Department Heads were asked to examine the both the current and future environment (both internally and externally) within the city.  The commission participated in a SWOT Analysis to help assist with the identification of the various issues.  From there, the significant issues were formulated into the top, mid- and long-term priorities.  The results from the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis and the identified priorities were presented to the department heads during the staff workshop.

Phase 3: Implementation Planning During the staff workshop, the different priorities were assigned to the appropriate department heads.  An action plan for the each priority was created and prepared to be presented to at a special city commission meeting.

Phase 4: Adoption and Implementation A review and discussion of the action plans was conducted during a special city commission meeting.  Here the final priorities and their action plans were adopted by the city commission for implementation.  A key component of the implementation process deals with the assessment of action plans.  Conducting progress reports during and after each timeframe for the action plans will help to monitor progress.
