  3. Information Architecture • Information Environment • External factors • Business and technology trends • Legislative activity • Public expectations • Internal factors • Overall business situation • Existing technology investment • Geographically dispersed workforce

  4. Information Architecture • Information Needs • Major Program Needs • Knowledge about beneficiary characteristics, needs and awareness • Comparative data, benchmarks and quality indicators • Cost and financial data • Outcome and assessment data • Knowledge of customer expectations and satisfaction • Needs Related to Public Responsiveness • Integrated health information • User empowering, internet based access to information assets • Needs Related to Management of Human and Technology Resources • Workforce skill, training needs, satisfaction, required competencies, industry trends in HRD and HRM • Knowledge of IT trends • Best practices
