SYNOPSIS 
The Long Range Plans (LRP) for Maritime  and High Performance Organization 
operationalize strategies to achieve Century Agenda goals in the next 10 years. The LRPMaritime
developed goals, strategies and actions, for the Maritime Division, though, as
would be expected in a 'One-Port' management approach, willhave impact and create
opportunities beyond the Maritime Division. The LRP-High Performance Organization 
provides approaches to management that transcend divisions, and are a unifying enabler
within the Port of Seattle. Commissioners will be briefed on proposed key actions and
targets for the next five years, as they relate to achieving the Century Agenda by 2025. 
Feedback from the Commission will assist in modifying/guiding task level project plans. 
BACKGROUND 
The LRP development represents the efforts of cross-functional teams at the Port to align
our actions and tasks with the Century Agenda's strategies and objectives.  Its
implementation will allow the Port to more effectively and transparently improve the
Port's ability to support the local economy by creating 100,000 new jobs for the Puget
Sound region, while addressing key environmental concerns of all its stakeholders. 
The LRP provides tools, baseline data, and metrics for implementing, monitoring and
reporting on progress on the Century Agenda over a rolling five-year planning period. In
addition, the LRP links the Century Agenda to each of the Port's individual Business
Plans. 
In order to ensure a "One-Port" participation and ownership of the Century Agenda,
various cross-functional internal LRP development teams were created between June and
September 2015. These teams include Aviation, Maritime, Small Business Development,
Workforce Development, Environmental, and High Performance Organization
(combining Operational Excellence and Organizational Alignment). 
On March 22nd, the Aviation and Small Business Development teams presented their
proposed key actions and five-year targets. At the April 12th briefing, the Workforce

Template revised May 30, 2013.
