Mission-Driven Culture (MDC) Familiarization Workforce Meeting

** PLEASE NOTE: THIS CLASS IS OPEN TO OCFA EMPLOYEES ONLY **

Background:

Developing our operational culture has been identified as a primary goal for the Authority’s advancement and to set the foundation for its future growth.  In 2018 Chief Fennessy introduced the values and principles of a Mission-Driven Culture (MDC) to provide a framework for this ongoing evolution.  This effort is growing. New doctrine is being developed, and leader development opportunities are now being offered to support, reinforce, and model the values and behaviors that are desired in OCFA firefighters and leaders.  Informed from the findings from the cultural survey completed in late 2018, OCFA leadership is now involved in formulating how to best implement the principles of MDC in daily operations. The International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), a non-profit organization supporting the advancement of all fire services internationally, and Mission-Centered Solutions (MCS) are assisting the OCFA to achieve its goals in the areas of leader and operational development. 

The Workforce Meeting:

Two briefing opportunities will be available for members to understand the basis of the MDC initiative and the driving forces behind it, both for OCFA and the fire service in general.  The session will also discuss some of the initial steps that the OCFA has planned and provide an opportunity for Q&A with Chief Fennessy and the leadership team about the initiative and the survey conducted earlier this year.
