ISO Strategy


ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 165 national standards bodies. The International Standards provide solutions to global challenges. ISO will make every effort to be attractive and responsive to the needs of industry, as well as those of regulators, consumers and other stakeholders.
In particular, the Strategy will help the organization respond to a future where:
·         Technological, economic, legal, environmental, social and political challenges will require examination and continual improvement of the ISO system.
·         Stakeholder engagement and the challenges to ISO’s intellectual property will continue to be both a key opportunity and risk for ISO


v  Develop high-quality standards  through ISO’s global membership.
The organization must both excel in the core business of developing standards  which includes applying good standardization practices such as those established by the World Trade Organization and ensure it makes the most of its valuable network of national members.
v  Engage stakeholders  and partners.
Effective and wide-reaching stakeholder engagement is essential in order to maintain ISO’s credibility and the relevance of International Standards. This means ensuring that all ISO members can successfully drive stakeholder participation in addition to effectively engaging with global and regional partners. Stakeholders must see their national members as the pathway to ISO, as organizations that engage them on important issues with other national stakeholders and connect them to the global standards debate. ISO needs to clearly show its value to stakeholders.
v  People and organization development.
ISO’s most important resource is its member organizations and their networks of experts. ISO will therefore invest in building the capacity of all its members, both at the human and the organizational level, through learning, research and development solutions. This includes supporting the transfer of knowledge to a younger generation of experts.
v  Use of technology.
Cutting-edge technology, shifting demographics, changing social behaviours and new collaborative work practices are creating new demands and possibilities for all organizations.  It also challenges traditional notions of how we consume and use information; of pub- lishing and copyright. The impacts of these changes are particularly profound for global, information-based businesses such as ISO.
v  Communication.
The value and impact of International Standards must be recognized by decision makers in both the public and private sector, as well as by all stakeholders and the general public. The ISO member network, supported by ISO’s Central Secretariat, is key to fulfilling this aspiration. Beyond their role as national standards bodies, ISO members “ are ” ISO in their country and are the driving force for communicating with the various groups interested in, and affected by, standards.
