Compartments are used to set
long term direction, plan and
prioritize projects and manage
systems, within a specific part
of the business.
Each compartment
develops a strategy,
based on the business
and functional needs, and
a roadmap for the future
(3-5 years).
Each compartment has a board
that governs the area and
decides upon the strategy and
roadmap regarding
maintenance, enhancements
and projects.

Compartments are used
to categorize ventures
into common areas of
concerns and to support
an overall strategically
aligned venture portfolio.
