Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Mission
Facilitate the identification of areas where
recommendations (standards) should be
developed for the Information Society
Efficiently develop high-quality, global,
consensus-based recommendations
(standards) in its core competency areas on a
market-driven and timely basis
Facilitate the interoperability of networks and
services
8
Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Mission - continued
Be able to develop recommendations that may
have regulatory or policy implications
Be flexible and constantly look for ways to
improve
Give appropriate consideration to the
particular needs of developing countries
Cooperate and, where appropriate, collaborate
with others so as not to duplicate effort
9
Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Strategies/Processes
bottom-up mode of operating and production of
work (rather than top-down),
flexibility in responding to market demands,
ongoing review of the Strategic Plan, proposing
adjustments as needed,
through TSAG, monitoring the performance of
the Sector against identified milestones,
10
Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Strategies/Processes - continued
development and strengthening of the linkage among
financial, strategic, and operational planning,
clear and transparent working methods and processes,
to encourage transparency, inclusiveness, and
representation of a broad range of participants and
views,
an environment in which interested parties can work
together in partnership effectively and efficiently,
development and execution of an aggressive plan to
communicate the value of the ITU-T, stressing its global
recognition and credibility and the high quality of its
Recommendations, as well as its willingness to
change,
11
Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Strategies/Processes - continued
working with ITU-D with special attention to
telecommunication development in developing
countries, including supporting ITU-D’s efforts
to improve access to the Information Society in
developing countries,
offering an organization that is attractive to
industry entities as a place to do their
standardization development work, and
willingness to change.
12
Draft ITU-T Strategic Plan for 2003-2006
Relationship with other standardization bodies
foster awareness within ITU-T of the work done by
other bodies (such as SDOs, forums and consortia),
coordinate and cooperate with such groups in order to
reduce duplication, avoid inconsistencies, and assure
that ITU-T work provides added value,
continue to participate in appropriate coordinating
bodies,
coordinate and cooperate with the
Radiocommunication and Telecommunication
Development Sectors, and with the General Secretariat
and officials of the Union.
