Strategic Plan 2020-2024
FIDIC has launched a new and improved Strategic Plan following consultation with stakeholders, writes FIDIC’s head of economic and strategic policy Graham Pontin. The last Strategic Plan was set in May 2017 and placed FIDIC on a trajectory which involved significant change. This change has already produced positive results; however, it is vital that such momentum is maintained. It is for this reason that FIDIC has not only reflected on the successes of recent years but we have also consulted with our member associations and wider stakeholders to develop a new Strategic Plan for 2020-2024. The consultation undertaken by FIDIC as part of the development of this plan shows that issues continue to arise that are similar to previous years, on committee communication, transparency advocacy and lobbying etc. FIDIC is in the process of revitalising its committees, relaunching its State of the World reports and has just run an extremely successful Covid-19 webinar series and such lessons and improvements in our work are important. It was therefore essential to capture this momentum and embed such activities into the new Strategic Plan. The plan has also moved on from its previous delivery method as a set of slides to something more befitting an organisation that aspires to sit at the top table with governments and international organisations. The new plan demonstrates FIDIC’s corporate and governance commitment to itself, its members and stakeholders and importantly sets expectations for its activities.
This new Strategic Plan will for the first time place a greater emphasis on FIDIC’s priorities, with goals and outcomes and their effects on industry, member associations and wider industry all considered. To ensure that FIDIC moves forward in a structured way and to reflect the type of practices that are taking place across various sectors in the infrastructure sector, the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan has been developed to take an outcome-based approach. To do this FIDIC, following consultation, has developed ten headline areas as follows: 1. Service delivery 2. Secretariat and regionalisation 3. Integrity 4. Contracts 5. Credentialing 6. FCCE and China 7. Sustainability 8. Technology 9. Quality 10. CEO Club and advocacy
