Renewing Scotland's full potential in a digital world: consultation

10. National Performance Framework alignment

The starting point of our digital strategy is the understanding that we now operate in a digital world. Our ambitions for our country remain the same, but the world in which we will achieve them is vastly different from that of the analogue era. This is demonstrated below in this table that cross references the potential actions included in this discussion document to the National Performance Framework (NPF).
