From the Government of Canada Application Portfolio Management Strategy, “GC will leverage IM/IT Plan Investment categories Run, Grow and Transform to determine the type of discretionary and non-discretionary investments being made to balance mandatory and discretionary investments to both sustain and renew existing applications and improve service delivery.”​ 1. Run – “Non-discretionary investment that is required to sustain regulatory compliance or ongoing operational and maintenance costs to support business outcomes and service delivery.”​ 2. Grow – “Discretionary investment that is required to enhance or change existing business outcomes and service delivery.”​ 3. Transform – “Discretionary investment that is required to transform business outcomes and service delivery through innovation.”​
