- The strategic plan explains how RIMS will accomplish its mission and objectives over the next three to five years.

- Each component of the plan is based on the fundamental notion that RIMS needs to be flexible and proactive and it needs to utilize advanced technology for a timely response in a rapidly changing environment. The plan also acknowledges that RIMS should ally with internal and external organizations and experts as well as integrate strategic thinking and incorporate quality initiatives into all areas of concentration.
