ABSTRACT

Statewide strategic planning and performance measurement efforts in Utah were launched in 1990 under the direction of the newly created Utah Tomorrow Strategic Planning Committee. Although initially driven by the Legislature, the effort gained the support of the new Governor in 1993. As a result, legislation was enacted that year which changed the composition of the committee to reflect a joint legislative/executive branch effort. A vision statement for Utah as well as goals and objectives in 10 key areas have been officially adopted by both the Governor and Legislature. Performance measures have been developed but are still under refinement.
