The North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) recommends that state agencies complete a two-year strategic plan each fiscal biennium. The agencies’ strategic plans include agency or department-wide goals, objectives, and strategies; performance and outcome measures and milestones; existing best practices and areas for collaboration; and more. OSBM provides strategic planning guidance and facilitation services to support this process. Further, FY21-23 budget instructions included the governor’s four budget priorities: positioning North Carolina to create new jobs and recover from pandemic economic losses; making North Carolina a top-10 educated state; promoting healthier and safer communities; and ensuring an effective and efficient state government.
