The January 2013 publishing of a Strategic Operational Plan is the first effort at
operational planning made by the Department of Natural Resources.
The Department hopes to achieve several goals with the new format of the strategic plan, including:
(1) General Information
(2) More Performance Measures
(3) Different Types of Performance Measures
(4) Five Years of Performance Reporting
(5) Customer Focus
(6) SMART Act Audit
The Department of Natural Resources views the strategic planning process as iterative. Each year, the Department hopes to build on the experiences, legislative suggestions, employee and employee organization recommendations, and public input (good and bad) to help guide its strategic planning going forward. In this regard, the Department would very much appreciate hearing from legislators,
interested parties, and the general public about what they found helpful in the Strategic Operational Plan as well as what is missing from the Plan.
