Century Agenda Review
Review: In 2019, at the direction of the Commission, Strategic Initiatives conducted a
thorough review of the Century Agenda with the Executive Director, Executive Leadership
Team and other staff across the Port.
Key Findings:
1.  Out of alignment with current Port goals and initiatives;
2.  Too Rigid to allow for disruption or shifts in priorities; and
3.  Measured by ineffective Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

The Remedy:
The Executive Director seeks approval to modify the Century Agenda to make it an
enduring document that aligns Commission/Port priorities, business planning and the
shifting regional landscape

Proposal
The Policy Directive:
Creates needed alignment and clarity, not new priorities.
Does not change or adjust current priorities or activities instead
they create a more accurate and enduring representation of their
intent, our priorities and actions.
Directs Port staff to create new, enduring and relevant Key
Performance Indicators to keep the Port accountable to its
aspirational goals.

This directive creates needed alignment and clarity,
not new priorities.

Current Key Performance Indicators
The proposed Policy Directive requires the creation of KPIs
to measure success against CA Objectives.
Current KPIs and Metrics attached to the CA do not deliver actionable intelligence.

The scorecard associated with the CA indicates only if a project is:
Green (on track), Yellow (In progress) or Red (Mitigation to be developed).
Good KPIs are:
Actionable                                    Limited (no more than 10-12)
Critical to the organizational success                 Tied to specific, time sensitive business goals

Modified Century Agenda
Vertical Alignment Models
The proposed modifications to the Century Agenda Goals and Objectives
create the opportunity to have clear and consistent vertical alignment
between the goals set by the Commission and the work of each division
and COE across the Port in meeting those goals.

The following are strategic models, created by SI and informed by
existing business plans, to demonstrate the alignment that could be
realized under the new Century Agenda policy directive
