Budget

The strategy must present a path of cumulative growth & development in order to spread available budget over the longer term

While much of this strategy is predicated on efficiency gains in the medium and long term, there are nonetheless costs involved which must be weighed and justified. However, this strategy indicates a direction rather than an end point. We believe the direction outlined is an inevitable response to changes that are going on in the world, and identifies opportunities for improvement rather than explicit requirements. The question therefore becomes one not of absolute budget, but of the design of an architecture (both technical and institutional) that enables cumulative development and thus determines how quickly steps can be taken along the path.
