Business Information Plan

The Business Information Council (BIC) will develop and implement a data business plan for Mn/DOT. This plan will outline processes for identifying and prioritizing data and information gaps and needs, identify data management principles, and implement data governance at Mn/DOT. Implementing a data business plan will lead to prioritized decisions relating to data. The Data Governance and GIS work teams take their charges from the BIC.

 

Lead:

Jonette Kreideweiss
