Recommendation 14
14
Departments inconsistently produce comprehensive Strategic Asset Management Plans despite their mandatory importance.
Conclusion
While SAMPs are mandatory and of high strategic importance, not all departments prepare comprehensive plans.23 The OGP is asking departments for a more forward–looking approach in their plans, including consideration of future risks.24 The Cabinet Office explained that almost all departments have now either produced a SAMP, or have plans to produce one.25
