Enterprise Planning

Similar to efficiency planning, enterprise planning refers to optimization of business processes - but at a higher level. " Enterprise" refers to the whole picture, or the macro organization. Enterprise planning is based on the core principle that performance must be planned and continuously managed.

Common outcomes of enterprise planning include:

• Mission clarification and reduction of redundancy.
• Automation.
• Performance monitoring

State strategic planning defines the "what", enterprise planning defines the "how".

Enterprise Planning in Utah

Over the last few years, the executive branch has been focused on development of a balanced scorecard approach to performance management. This approach fosters a management discipline that should lead to an allocation of resources based on strategic imperatives, as well as performance improvement through targeted measures. Individually, each agency can utilize these tools to enhance productivity and program performance. These tools are also vital to communicate an agency's value in a day of privatization. At the enterprise level, these tools enhance alignment to the strategic objectives of the administration, enhance the ability to manage budget priorities and allocations, and foster communications with stakeholders to pave the way for innovation and improvements in government.

By respecting defined agency missions, while reviewing common business objectives crossing boundaries, and optimizing supporting infrastructure, the State of Utah will be able to enhance government operations, resulting in a more economically viable environment for our constituents, and an improved quality of life for citizens.
