Collaboration is a Culture, Not a Checkbox Too often, collaboration is treated as a one-time initiative rather than a fundamental part of workplace culture. When collaboration is embedded into the daily rhythm of work, teams naturally align, share information, and innovate together. As a certified "silo buster" I am passionate about breaking down barriers that hinder true teamwork. Does your team have a genuine culture of collaboration? If not, let's change that. CP2 Consulting helps organizations shift mindsets and practices for long-term success. Let's chat today! . . . #CultureMatters #Leadership #Teamwork

Imagine walking into your closet, pulling out your favorite jacket, and realizing it's a little snug—but still fits. That's exactly how performance metrics should feel. But too often, local governments set goals that are either impossible to achieve (like a jacket you can't button) or so vague they don't drive change (like a jacket two sizes too big). Take a simple metric: "100% of sidewalks defined as trip hazards repaired by December 2027." Residents see real improvement, staff have clear direction, and leaders can confidently show results. At CP2 Consulting, we help local governments set the right performance metrics—ones that challenge without overwhelming. Ready to make your metrics work for you?

Question: What's one of the best practice ways to prove to residents that their tax dollars are working? Our Answer: Performance metrics that residents can see. Take this example: ?? Commercial vacancy rates decreased by 10% by December 2027. What does that mean for the community? ?? A more vibrant local economy ?? More jobs and services available ?? Increased property values and tax revenue stability When local governments track and share metrics like these, residents trust the process. They see real results, not just promises.

Last week, I conducted staff leadership interviews as part of the strategic planning effort in Appleton, WI and couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia as I explored the children's section. It was so inviting that I almost found myself wanting to jump right into one of those cozy reading nooks. One of my favorite parts of what I do is the chance to explore the projects, plans and ideas that makes each community unique. Here's to creating spaces that inspire learning and imagination and make our communities better! . . . . #LibraryProject #CommunityDevelopment #Inspiration

Here's another practical #CP2sday Tip for leaders looking to strengthen their strategic planning process: Establish clear metrics for your strategic goals. Without a shared vision of what success looks like—think of it as trying to navigate a boat without a compass—teams may drift apart, leaving everyone paddling against the current. When everyone aligns on how to measure achievements, it fosters accountability and drives true progress. If you're unsure about setting these essential metrics, CP2 Consulting is here to help steer the ship in the right direction.

Here's the most subtle yet significantly challenging issue organizations are facing now more than ever —silos. The reality is, the longer we delay recognizing them, the longer it takes to dismantle them. Having worked in local government, I truly understand the frustration of being in a siloed environment. When departments operate in isolation, vital information doesn't circulate, decisions feel disconnected, and collaboration is more challenging than it should be. I know many of you have experienced similar feelings. Silos can stifle creativity, waste valuable resources, and leave team members feeling unheard. But this doesn't have to be our reality. By breaking down barriers, we can foster stronger teams, enhance communication, and ultimately achieve and create better outcomes for the communities we serve. This is especially key during the strategic planning process. If your organization is grappling with silos, CP2 Consulting is here to assist. Together, we can cultivate a more connected and efficient team ready to build together. Reach out to us today. . . . #StrategicPlanning #Collaboration #BreakTheSilos
