. The SOCs facing teams need to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the SOC's investment and operational plans impact on the growth of customers and suppliers so as to ensure that the SOC's planning cycle incorporates our growth and productivity objectives; . A new Programme called "Strategic Partnerships" has been established to identify strategic initiatives where these external funds can be mobilised and to structure the projects and associated funding and governance arrangements to facilitate this process; and . The Joint Project Facility unit will become the Economic Impact and Policy Alignment unit which build capability to monitor our national economic policy processes to determine in which areas our SOCs can make new strategic contributions, to implement programmes that will align the SOC's capabilities with our national objectives and to put relevant reporting mechanisms in place, for both the shareholder and all SOC's stakeholders.
