Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Plan for continuous improvement Although some measurements were inconclusive due to unit assessments not accurately aligning with desired VP level measurements, the overall goals and KPI’s are believed to accurately represent the goals of IT@Sam and the internal motto of being client centric.  For 2013-2014 the VP’s office will work more closely with unit leads to assure assessment measure align with KPI’s.   The VP’s office and unit leads will also review and look for opportunities to more clearly define KPI’s and to identify other goals and KPI’s that may be useful.
