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.
