The Vision

“Thinking of IM as a program, not as a problem”

 Version 2.2

April 2006

NOTE TO READERS:

The IM Program Transformation Initiative employs the Business Transformation Enablement Program (BTEP) Strategic Design and Planning (SD&P) Methodology. This process methodology for business transformation in the public sector, developed in the Chief Information Officer Branch of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, is being used for the strategic design and planning of the next generation IM Program. For more information on BTEP, please refer to /btep-pto/index-eng.asp.

The BTEP SD&P methodology has six phases: Start Up, Vision, Strategy, Design, Business Case, and Plan.

The direction for IM in the Government of Canada is established in the Vision Phase, and provides the foundation for work in the remaining four phases. There are two primary deliverables in the Vision Phase:

  • Information Management in the Government of Canada – The Business Problem Assessment which examines the problems motivating the transformation of the IM Program; and,
  • Information Management in the Government of Canada – The Vision, which describes the post-transformation, improved IM Program that meets the real needs of program stakeholders.

These documents are best read in sequence: the business problem assessment first, followed by the target business vision.
