Strategic Plan

The strategic plan explains how RIMS will accomplish its mission and objectives over the next three to five years. Given that the scope contained in the new mission statement has shifted to focus on the member entity, it is appropriate to describe the manner in which the components of the strategic plan will be carried out.
Each component of the plan is based on the fundamental notion that RIMS needs to be flexible and proactive and it needs to utilize advanced technology for a timely response in a rapidly changing environment. The plan also acknowledges that RIMS should ally with internal and external organizations and experts as well as integrate strategic thinking and incorporate quality initiatives into all areas of concentration.
