How do we update our plans for Information Systems and Data Management and make strategic decisions on an ongoing basis in relation to how the work changes and changes in the world? Information systems plans need to address mid-to-long term needs but should be very flexible in an environment that changes rapidly.
Successful implementation of a plan will be to work “outside” the current organizational structure and address what’s best for the organization. Staffing and structure may need to change. Budgets may need to be reallocated so as to make the best use of scarce resources.
