2013 JCI Plan of Action Introduction The year 2013 marks the final year of the implementation of the 2008 JCI Strategic Planning Committee Recommendations. This plan will guide the organization through the completion of these recommendations and also implement the process to define a strategic vision for the organization in the next five years. In 2013 JCI will build on the accomplishments of the last four years and move the organization forward by taking concrete measures to empower young people in order to provide just solutions to the problems of humanity. As in the past four years this plan is modeled alongside the recommendations of the 2008 Strategic Plan in order to ensure consistency, continuity and more importantly to be able to measure progress with the implementation of the Strategic Plan. Meantime, in creating 2013 Plan of Action, JCI took into considerations also the inputs coming from 2012 Area Conferences as well as a series of discussions with JCI Officers and National Officers. Goals The organization has three goals in 2013: 1. To be recognized as a solution provider to the greatest global challenges of our time as defined by the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs). 2. To empower members to respond to the needs of the world and consequently create a bigger impact 3. To improve the quality of service to JCI members around the world The aforementioned goals address an external audience by positioning JCI as a global solution provider. They address an internal audience by motivating JCI members to be better in order to act to solve the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest challenges. Finally, these goals support the work of JCI members by improving the quality of service to members at all levels of the organization. The plan keeps a balance between personal development that will empower young people and individual social responsibility inspired by the Japanese spirit of Omoiyari to take action by creating positive change. Businesses have focused on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a way contribute to economic prosperity within the community, JCI will focus on Individual Social Responsibility (ISR) to highlight the individual duties to contribute development within the community. Accountability In order to accomplish our goals, JCI members must hold themselves accountable for their commitment to the Mission, Vision and Values of this organization. More importantly, at every level of the organization, we must bear responsibility for the implementation of a cohesive action plan across the globe. Consequently, each of the goals of this plan have defined

objectives, deadlines for accomplishments, designated costs and assigned Officers, members and staff responsible for its implementation. This Plan of Action covers the following areas and continues to be aligned to the 2008 JCI Strategic Planning Committee Recommendations: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII.
