Wyoming Office of the Governor - Dave Freudenthal

Strategic Planning and Annual Reports Made Easy

In 2004, the State of Wyoming began an important transition toward a more meaningful strategic planning process.  With an aim to increase usefulness and decrease paperwork, the new results-based accountability template allows government agencies to communicate to the governor, legislature and public in plain language.  As of fall 2005, nearly all state agencies submitted a strategic plan consistent with the new method, and endorsed the simplicity and usefulness of the effort.  Today, the budget process is also directly aligned with strategic planning to help ensure that financial resources are both targeted and justified toward the accomplishment of the 10 results we most want to accomplish in Wyoming:

  1. Stable Families: Wyoming families and individuals live in a stable, safe, supportive, nurturing, healthy environment.
  2. Strong Economy: Wyoming has a diverse economy that provides a livable income and ensures wage equality.
  3. Healthcare: Wyoming residents have affordable and accessible healthcare and insurance.
  4. Early Childhood Development: Children are born healthy and achieve their highest potential during their early development years.
  5. Education: Students are successfully educated and prepared for life's opportunities.
  6. Government: Wyoming state government is a responsible steward of state assets and effectively responds to the needs of residents and guests.
  7. Transportation: Wyoming enjoys a safe, high-quality, efficient transportation system.
  8. Natural Resources: Wyoming natural resources are managed to maximize the economic, environmental and social prosperity of current and future generations.
  9. History and Heritage: Wyoming values the unique aspects of its Western heritage, providing residents and visitors expanding access to cultural, historical and recreational experiences.
  10. Technology and Workforce: Advanced technologies and a quality workforce allow Wyoming business and communities to adapt and thrive.

Governor Freudenthal's Office will continue to track the real trends that demonstrate Wyoming’s commitment to making these results a reality for the residents of this great state.
