These goals are founded on the statewide vision and may involve coordination among several entities with similar functions. Objectives are clear targets for specific action. More detailed than goals, objectives have shorter time frames. An objective is achievable, measurable, and sets the direction for strategies. A single goal may be subdivided into multiple objectives.
Strategies are methods to achieve goals and objectives.
Formulated from goals and objectives, a strategy is the means of transforming inputs into outputs, and ultimately outcomes, with the best use of resources. A strategy reflects budgetary and other resources. Strategies are not included in the Utah Tomorrow Strategic Plan. Performance Measures are tools or indicators of the state's actions in achieving a given objective or goal. Performance measures can generally be divided into outcome measures, output measures, input measures, or efficiency measures as defined by the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget.
