MSM Strategic IT Roadmap
TACTICAL STRATEGIC Alignment
Purpose • To provide the necessary process to support the implementation of MSM’s
defined strategy.
• Since strategic choices are almost certainly surrounded with imperfect and incomplete knowledge, our planning system must include a continuous improvement perspective.
Goal
• To develop and implement a simple and effective iterative planning,
budgeting, implementation and evaluation approach to ensure our actions
are aligned with and promote the achievement of our strategic initiatives.
