Define Strategic Outcomes for your Areas of Strategic

Focus

Strategic Outcomes describe a desired state in the future. Descriptions of the desired state should include the idea of stretch, measurable goals. What will our region look like, feel like in 3 years? What will people be doing? How will people be connecting? How will our region help transform Idaho?

Deb Howe proposed a strategic outcome of redesigning high schools in our region of Indiana. Mark French proposed the outcome of having guitar camps available to every high school in the region.

Strategic Focus Strategic Focus simply helps you organize your Strategic Action Plan. Your plan should have between three to five areas of Strategic Focus. Each area of Strategic Focus can (and probably should) have multiple outcomes.
