In order to realise our vision and to achieve our mission, six focus areas have been identified. FOCUS SERVICE INNOVATION COLLABORATION & INTEGRATION CAPABILITY & MIND-SET OPTIMISATION SECURITY ENTERPRISE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT DESCRIPTION With an increasingly sophisticated and dynamic society, government agencies must develop new and innovative ways to deliver services to citizens and businesses with greater transparency and accountability. Government agencies are required to work together to face an increasingly complex environment. This requires a Whole-OfGovernment approach to enhance the collaboration and integration of government business processes. People will always remain the key that will lead to the successful implementation of any technology. It is essential to foster a forward-thinking mind-set and collaborative culture. This will help to increase the speed of adopting new systems, rate of utilising systems and proficiency of government officials. To keep pace with the rapid development of technology, the government has been implementing various IT systems and platforms. Moving forward, the Government needs to optimise the use of these digital assets to ensure effectiveness, minimised redundancy and maximise value for money. Following on from the previous strategic plan 2009-2014, security will remain a key focus area. The Government needs to maintain situational awareness of its digital assets and environment at all times. Adequate measures will be taken to minimise risks and increase capabilities to respond to cyber-incidents effectively. With today’s knowledge driven economy, information is a fundamental building block that can advance a nation. It is critical that the Government manage the explosive growth of data by structuring, describing and governing information assets that can then be used to generate insights that aid decision making. 5
