Berger, Assistant City Attomey -10- Rom i Goldsmith Taxpayer ID No, 4 ,. 1 , El Segundo Administrative Emergent Strategic Reinvention: Creation of 2011 a Collective Future — Phase I EXHIBIT A Background El Segundo has a rich past, a vibrant current reality and a future with unusual potential for the resident community as well as for the business community. City administrators have the opportunity to create a future that purposefully builds on the past while inventing a new future reality that is not simply an extrapolation of the past and that could give El Segundo more options and chances for leveraging their unique community. People create meaning and action in relationship and in communication. Human organizing, change and futures are conversational realities. When leaders want to maximize the best of a community and culture and also have to demonstrate their responsibility for the direction, productivity, flexibility, adaptiveness and morale of their organizations, they can cause desired futures by the conversations they convene, reiterate and expand. Furthermore, they can begin to shift the mindsets and culture so that an invented future and expanded capacities can be sustained. If people engage in conversations designed to bring forth what is best about the current community and organization as well as the aspirational aspects of what the community or organization could be for the future, then a desired future can be designed as a strategic focus with goals, measures and action plans to realize and implement that created future. People who engage in this reiteratively then begin to practice and demonstrate conversational leadership. Request The City Manager and Assistant City Manager would like to convene the six heads of the El Segundo City government to invent a desired and compelling future that would form the basis of a new reality for City. They have asked Genesis Work, Inc. (GW) to facilitate the conversations for a strategic reinvention so that each of them can participate fully in the conversation rather than manage the conversations. After a collective future direction is invented and committed to by the heads of all the El Segundo City departments, then they would engage in the activities and processes that would involve and engage the employees of the City as well as with the Mayor, City Council and various participant communities of the City. The first step in this overall process of realizing a new future is the invention and commitment to it by the senior leaders of the City administration. Phase I -- Invention and Realization of a Desired and Compelling Future The purpose of this proposal is to outline the aspects of Phase I. The desired outcome of Phase I is a co- created articulation of a new future for El Segundo that each and all the co- designers are committed to realizing together, and with the various constituencies of the City. The articulation includes a possibility -based future vision, commitments and stands for the City's future as well as a framework for accomplishing it. �uo ...�.� 71(F&enesis Work, Inc. 2011.

A visual idea of the strategic articulation looks like this: The framework includes collective City goals (and measures) that all the departments would have to collaborate to accomplish.
