a successful strategy can develop senior management understanding that e-government systems are information systems not just IT, and build consensus and commitment to a strategic vision for e-government. It permits a fundamental review of the organization’s use of information and technology, leading to a comprehensive understanding of information systems requirements. It also provides a detailed plan of action one-government for the organization.
Strategic planning is not intended to be a one-time activity but a continuous cycle that needs to be completely revised at the end of the strategic framework period, or earlier if circumstances change or objectives are not attained.
One task of the e-government steering Group is to monitor implementation of the strategic plan. Monitoring gathers information on:
Performance against objectives set for both e-government overall and individual e-government projects
Benefits accruing to the organization from e- government systems
Problems related to developing or operating e-government systems, with diagnoses and proposed remedies
Other impacts associated with e-government systems
Changes to significant internal and external factors that affect the performance of the organization
Resources used and projected for use
All of this means that the strategy should contain at least some broad sense of milestones or performance indicators of process.
