The Cabinet Planning Process
Cabinet Planning Process Overview

The cabinet action planning process is an iterative and collaborative undertaking. As depicted above, at the heart of Michigan's planning lies the core mission, vision, and values developed jointly between the Governor and the employees of the executive branch. The planning process is designed to keep the executive branch efforts aligned with current priorities on an ongoing basis.
