Strategic objectives - 1

Align with current and future business requirements

Fit for purpose

Strategic objectives -2

Operable

Easy to understand, maintain and operate

Strategic objectives -3

Resilient and Modular

Plug and Play

Strategic objectives -4

Scalable

Building blocks Repeatable

Strategic objectives -5

Future proofing

Impossible to achieve but help with the process - Create roadmaps

& don’t forget…
