Table 3 – Strategic risks and mitigation measures Risk Strategic mitigation measure Reflected in • Diminishing relevance and ability to demonstrate clear added value Represents the risk of conflicting efforts, inconsistencies and competition with other relevant organizations and bodies, as well as the risk of misperception of ITU's mandate, mission and role 1) Identify and concentrate on activities with unique added value – Vision, Mission, Strategic goals and Objectives/Outcomes, Criteria for prioritization • Spreading too thin Represents the risk of mission dilution and the risk of losing sight of the organization's core mandate 2) Ensure cohesiveness and strength of focus – Criteria for prioritization • Failure to respond quickly to emerging needs and innovate sufficiently while still providing high-quality deliverables Represents the risk of unresponsiveness, leading to disengagement of membership and other stakeholders 3) Be fast moving, agile, responsive and innovative 4) Proactively engage stakeholders – Goal 4 related to Innovation, ITU values – Vision, Mission, Values, Strategic goals and Objectives/Outcomes, Criteria for prioritization • Inadequate adjustment of implementation strategies, tools, methodology and processes to keep up with best practices and changing needs Represents the risk of the study group structure, methods and tools becoming inadequate, of the implementation tools and methods becoming unreliable and failing to ensure maximum effectiveness, and of inadequate cooperation among the Sectors 5) Continuously improve strategies, tools, methodologies and processes according to best practice – Values, Implementation criteria – Process of monitoring implementation of, and adjusting, the strategic plan • Inadequacy of funding Represents the risk of reduced financial contributions from membership 6) Be more efficient and prioritize 7) Ensure effective financial planning – Implementation criteria 4 Sectoral and intersectoral objectives, outcomes and outputs ITU will implement the strategic of the Union for 2016-2019 through a number of objectives to be attained in this period. Each Sector will contribute to the overarching goals of the Union in the context of its specific remit, through implementation of the Sector-specific objectives and the overarching intersectoral objectives. The Council will ensure efficient coordination and oversight of this work.
