AGENCIES ADOPT STRATEGIC PLANS

"Agency Strategic Plans. Only five state agencies post a strategic plan ... Each agency should have a strategic plan and post it online so it is accessible to citizens." Policy Foundation Efficiency Project, October 2016

(May 2018) Sixteen state agencies reviewed by the Efficiency Project in 2016 have adopted Recommendation No. 3, which called on agencies to develop strategic plans and post them online in a format "accessible to citizens."

The Project noted the lack of strategic plans "runs counter to a Government Finance Officers Association recommendation that "all government entities use some form of strategic planning to provide a long-term perspective for service delivery and budgeting, thus establishing logical links between authorized spending and broad organizational goals."
