Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan

The Cox-Henderson Administration has tasked all state departments to improve agency strategic planning coordination to drive effective investments and best use of Utah’s resources. Department strategic plans guide decision-making and clearly link the budget and the agency’s mission. 

The Department of Natural Resources first published a high-level agency-wide Strategic Plan July 1, 2023. Individual divisions and offices have more detailed plans. The plan is reviewed regularly and updated as needed. Next steps include “work plans.” While a strategic plan focuses on defining an organization's overall goals, objectives and tactics to achieve them over an extended period, a work plan drills down to the specifics of how those objectives will be accomplished in the short- to medium-term.
