The project is to ensure that emerging issues previously identified in the strategic management process are researched in an academically sound way, so that the findings of that research may be analyzed. In the process of analysis, desired ways to influence the development of the issued will be identified and trigger points and action steps will be differentiated, as part of management's contingency planning process. It is expected that senior management will implement the action steps and use the trigger points in monitoring the development of the issues. Mn/DOT will also establish information exchange mechanism with parties external to Mn/DOT, as appropriate, to disseminate what is learned.
As a staff paper, this publication is intended for internal use by the Minnesota Department of Transportation
