floridapolitics.com/archives/73149… Success lies in driving a unified understanding of Mission, Functions, Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities across enterprise and agency levels. Clearly defined roles ensure accountability, empowering leaders to act with confidence and clarity.

Florida is not pursuing full consolidation of agency IT functions—instead, the focus is on alignment, not absorption. A unified approach means maintaining agency independence while building coordinated systems, shared goals, and enterprise-wide efficiencies.
