This category is very redundant. It seems to me that the items addressing managing information and determining needs should be addressed in Categories 6 and 3, that asssessing overall performance and aligning goals are addressed in Category 8, and that analysis of information and data happens in every category. I am in favor of eliminating Category 7.
