From Strategy to Action

Moving from Strategy to Action

Developing and executing a successful strategy requires initiatives that will close the gap between our current state and our future state vision. During our strategic planning workshops, functional and technical leaders of the IM/IT community drafted over 60 action steps needed to achieve the 10 strategic goals. These action steps were subsequently consolidated into 13 actions plans.

Each action plan was assigned to a specific executive owner and action plan owner. The action plan owners developed an initial set of activities, milestones and strategies for each of these 13 action plans under the following assumptions:

a) Additional initiatives will be identified as we further mature our objectives under each goal and adapt to changes in the environment;

b) Refinement to these plans would be necessary upon adoption of the overall plan; and

c) To develop a realistic and strategic focus for each plan, the individual action plans must address the following question: “how will we know if we get there?”
