This paper focuses on the business planning and financial planning involved with the Transformation Program that is being undertaken by the Government of Greece to organizationally modernize the Land Registration Process. Historically, Greece has used a „Person Based‟ deeds system to register rights, through 392 individual Mortgage Offices, located throughout the country. The Greek Government has decided this transformation will be achieved by establishing a single Public- Sector body and within 24 months of establishment, the 392 organizations, the majority of whom are currently in the private sector, will have migrated to 17 regional plus 75 Branch offices in the Public Sector. This paper describes the process for building a three-year business plan to support the transformation but ensuring continuous operation of the land registration system. From this paper, there will be transferable learning that could be used in other land registration systems globally.
