OBJECTIVES TO MEET
GOAL 2 – ENHANCE INTERNAL
OPERATIONS
1. Analyze business support functions and improve operational efficiencies.
Business support functions are often unheralded, yet are essential to overall program delivery. The Department will analyze all business support functions, identify
similarities and overlap in scope, and make assessments and recommendations
on the best course of action for each function. CAL FIRE will also examine existing committees and workgroups with a desired outcome to reduce duplication.
Finally, CAL FIRE will determine the appropriate support staffing levels and alignment of resources based on accepted industry and State standards, with increases
adjusted to keep pace with programmatic and environmental changes, and will
address these needs with appropriate control agencies through the Budget Change
Proposal (BCP) Process.
2. Define and effectively manage internal communication processes.
Effective communication consistently yields results at all levels in the Department.
CAL FIRE will identify all internal stakeholders and define their communication
needs with respect to authority, urgency, and legitimacy. CAL FIRE will examine
and determine the most effective communication process and ensure the timeliness and frequency for each communication. The emphasis will be to ensure that
all communication delivers the intended result to the appropriate audience.
3. Review and update communication processes to all external stakeholders.
CAL FIRE is one of the most publicly visible organizations in California. Durable and
effective external relationships are essential to our success. As with the internal
communication processes, the Department will examine and determine the most
effective external communication processes to successfully achieve the intended
results.
