2. Technology Goal Statements Technology goals are short "to do" statements that accomplish a specific outcome with the use of technology. Technology goals should not just be about the technology, but also reflect a specific mission-driven outcome related to programs and services. While you will want to think expansively as you begin to articulate your strategic planning goals, you also want to be realistic.

Here is an example of goals from the Alliance of New York State Arts Organization's technology plan: Goal #1: To integrate the use of electronic communications and technology to deliver Alliance programs, resources, and services to the field. Goal #2: To integrate the efficient use of electronic communications and technology to advance public awareness on issues affecting the arts and advance public knowledge of legislation affecting community arts development. Goal #3: To establish the E-Institute for Leadership as a national model for providing professional development to the community-based arts and cultural field in New York State and the nation. Goal #4: To develop, distribute and sell appropriate fee-based membership services via the Alliance Web site. Goal #5: To improve the Alliance's internal capacity for staff members to share and exchange information electronically within the main office, with the upstate office, contracted personnel, board members, and with all appropriate external constituents.
