Strategic Plan

In accordance with the SMART Act (HB10-1119), DPA makes a strategic plan each year. This plan focuses DPA's efforts on functions that provide the greatest service to our customers and the citizens of Colorado. This plan is a living document that can only be improved through ongoing scrutiny and revision. As a result, DPA will continue to refine the info presented within the plan.

Wildly Important Goals

DPA found several wildly important goals (WIG) for FY 2023-27 and beyond. The Governor's Dashboard provides a summary of our progress on these goals so far.

Reduce the State’s Physical Footprint

Completion of this goal will lead to better use of space in employee work areas. This will provide diverse workplace options for state agencies as well as financial savings.

State Fleet Electric Vehicle Purchase

Completion of this goal will showcase the State as a leader in electric vehicle adoption. This will save thousands of CO2 pounds per electric vehicle per year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the State’s fleet. Electric vehicles provide an average 30% reduction per mile in greenhouse gas over gasoline powered vehicles.

Skills-Based Hiring

Completion of this goal helps the State comply with executive order DD 2022 015 to retain and recruit a diverse, talented workforce that reflects the community it serves. Additionally, the State will continue to increase its non discriminatory practices. This will help provide equitable opportunity for employment and growth in State programs and services.
