• Elegant global service experience and systems – Move to single global systems and processes which enable the global operating model 
• Data to fuel differentiation and decisions – Ensure quality data and integrated systems are available to support data-based decision making, and enable personalised and contextualised services 
• Simple & secure technology foundations – Ensure foundation technology is simplified, free of duplication, and secure 

ITS has an essential role to play in realising these goals.
