Strategic Priorities The department has a clear set of strategic priorities that underpins our purpose in delivering reliable and efficient corporate services Strategic Plan 2016-2018 The Strategic Plan 2016-2018 sets strategic priorities that are aligned with government priorities, policy, strategic issues and the agency highlights reported in the Budget Papers. The plan underpins our core focus on service delivery, with strategic priorities and actions reflected in divisional business plans and individual performance agreements. The plan guides the departments decision-making and is a tool for the Chief Executive and Executive Management Board to ensure work is focused on our core business and deliverables. Regular reporting against the plan, including a six-month report on progress is provided to the Executive Management Board. Progress updates include communications to staff across the department through the staff newsletter: DCISIntel. The plan was established as a sustainable strategy; it is intentionally flexible and able to accommodate new programs and emerging priorities allowing the department to continue to meet governments needs over the life of the plan. To this end, the plan was updated in October 2016 to include new government priorities as identified in the table below. A scorecard report on the plans progress is outlined in the achievements section. The following table provides an overview of the plans strategic priorities and actions.
