Maricopa County Assessor's Office Strategic Plan
PROACTIVE WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT
Our work is largely driven by key calendar events for which we can plan. We will proactively deliver excellent service by redefining what constitutes success for each major calendar event. We will implement Introspective and Retrospective sessions to refine our critical business processes annually and improve our team's effectiveness ensuring our deadlines are met.
