Utilize a holistic, multidimensional business view of capabilities and associated Business Architecture tools to better position the Department for effective service delivery to Canadians, such that: investments and proposed investments are favourably aligned with identified priorities and strategies; objectives are measurable and requirements traceable; and, enterprise solutions are leveraged where possible to avoid duplication of effort.
