FY 2013-14
Implementation of the CDHS 2013-14 Strategic Plan will move us closer to achieving our goal of becoming the nation's most efficient and effective 21st century human services organization. Last summer, the CDHS Executive Management Team fanned out across the state and met with community partners and stakeholders in 13 communities to seek their input on the plan. As "People who help people," we focus on keeping Colorado's families safe and healthy, and ensuring that the right people receive the right services at the right time.

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.

The department has four overarching goals with specific objectives tied to each of them. The objectives drive the performance measures, benchmarks, strategies and action plans of the department. As noted earlier, the goals and objectives aim to build an aligned education system (student, educator, schools/districts, state) focused on better results for all students.

The vision of the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is to promote sustainable economic development in Colorado through advancing the State’s energy market and industry to create jobs, increase energy security, lower long-term consumer costs, and protect our environment.

The CEO has identified the following top priorities:

Continue to address the gaps in the market concerning the pursuit of cost-effective investments in energy efficiency

Continue to diversify the transportation fuels available and in use in Colorado

Promote the further development of the state’s energy economy, across all sectors

Provide leadership for continuous improvement of Colorado’s energy policies

Higher education must fulfill its essential role in creating the conditions for a healthy state economy, a productive society and a high quality of life for the people of the state. While serving these greater societal needs, the department and the state’s institutions understand that their main purpose is the rigorous instruction of students. The department, working together with the state’s institutions of postsecondary education, seeks a future for Colorado in which its institutions are accountable for continued improvement in the quality, efficiency and results of postsecondary education and are adequately funded to do so.

The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) works to create a positive business climate, encourages dynamic economic development and is focused on building sustainable job growth across the state. We offer a host of programs and services tailored to support business growth at every level including business recruitment, retention and expansion services; business funding and incentive programs; the Colorado Tourism Office; the Colorado Creative Industries office; the Colorado International Trade Office; the Colorado Small Business Development Centers; the Office of Film, Television & Media; minority and women-owned business services and economic analysis and research.

Since the final draft of the Colorado Blueprint was published in October 2011, OEDIT has executed a strategic plan focused on retention and growth in 14 key industries and aligning those industries across 14 regions throughout the state. The targeted industries represent almost 60 percent of the state’s jobs and an equivalent percentage of the state’s economic output. Our approach is simple: the most efficient and effective means of adding jobs is to drive growth in the industries which are already strong within the state.
