Implement The Strategic Plan

 

Enable and initiate the actions for achieving the HS IT Strategic Plan.

The IT strategic direction for the HS Agency was established in the HS IT Strategic Plan produced by the Plan the Course of Action activities. The Implement the Strategic Plan activities put that plan into action. This includes allocating resources and delegating authorities and responsibilities to the Develop and Maintain the Technical Architecture and Planning and Managing the Technical Evolution activities.

Implementing the plan involves the following key activities:

  1. Provide Direction and Means. These activities provide priorities and resources as well as ongoing insight, expertise, decisions, guidance, encouragement, and administration to the HS programs/projects underway.

  2. Communicate Expectations. These activities conveys and clarifies the expected outcomes (ends) and operational procedures and standards (means) for the HS programs/projects underway.

  3. Coordinate and Support Efforts. This action fosters collaboration between and provides political support for the HS programs/projects underway.

By following the  Plan the Course of Action activities, each State's IT Division produces a unique strategic plan. Since information needed to implement each State's strategic plan varies, this section provides high-level guidance for you to consider.
