Four Service Values and the reason why you chose each value.

Three Strategic Objectives (or goals) of the organisation.

For each Strategic Objective identified, list one Outcome for this objective that can be measured. This is one specific result that your specific objective is aiming to achieve. Don't think broadly; instead isolate one change you'd be focused on that will contribute to achieving your objective.

For each Outcome identified, list one related Output. This should be a policy or a course of action that explains how your organisation intends to achieve this particular outcome.

For one of your Strategic Objectives, identify a Benchmark that you could use to assess the performance of the service. Include a description of how the Benchmark you have chosen relates to a relevant Outcome or Output measure.

Identify the Impact that you want to achieve and describe the wider social and economic consequences of the of the work of the service.
