Senior Planner Strategy

Description:

Identify, analyse and report on developments in the WSIB’s operating environment that could impact the organization’s strategic objectives and performance:

• Provide Senior Executives and the BoD with strategic information and analysis via the environmental scan (including jurisdictional comparisons). The scan includes long-term perspectives and recommendations for possible short-term priorities
• Prepare briefings, as required, that include options and recommendations to inform senior management decision-making. Briefings are based on government announcements (e.g. Drummond Report), the review of research results, identification of trends and best practices (e.g. economy/labour markets, workers’ compensation, the insurance industry, Ontario Public Service)
• Manage research assignments (strategic analysis agenda) to identify and assess impacts to the WSIB’s strategic direction and/or performance
• Build and maintain network of internal and external experts
• Support clusters with business planning and aligning plans to corporate objectives

Manage the annual corporate strategic planning process:

• Support the BoD and Executive Management with strategic planning activities and sessions
• Prepare the corporate strategic plan or annual updates to an existing plan
• Lead the annual business planning process and support budget planning
• Review the corporate business plan, cluster operational plans and budget to better align planned results and resources with corporate strategic objectives. When necessary, recommend adjustments
