Richard,

    The organizations that I have worked with have arrived at the point
where they have reservation about how specific projects would integrate
into their overall RIM infrastructure, as well as the  how well they 'Fit'
into other key department projects. Therefore they have put the onus back
on the RIM function to provide an enterprise level strategy that would
support and integrate with the other strategic projects within the
organization.
   Once senior management has been presented with a multi-year plan that
includes all the required RIM projects to help them reach their desired
future RIM infrastructure, then the focus is now on which RIM projects to
do furst and what should be their timetable. These decisions would be based
partly on input from affected departments who have reviewed the proposed
roadmap of projects, and partly from senior management needs.
   So to answer the question, senior management wants to start certain RIM
projects that will meet specific problems, but with the RIM strategic
roadmap in place, they can more readily determine what effect their
particular chosen RIM projects would have on the overall RIM strategy (i.e.
certain projects needs to be done first, some projects require resources
that the departments don't have right now, cultural consideration may
affect decisions on project selection, other non RIM projects may affect or
require RIM projects first, etc).
