Strategic Plan

IPIC 2021-2023 Strategic Plan

IPIC Strat Plan 2021-2023 CoverThe IPIC Board of Directors began work on this new strategic plan just before the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated. As events unfolded, we reflected carefully on what this planning effort should look like. In times of disruption, it can be tempting to postpone planning on the basis that there is too much uncertainty to make decisions. We quickly agreed that this is precisely when planning is most vital. The real value of a strategic plan is that it provides strategic guidance without being prescriptive.

Our planning process allowed us to articulate what is important to us in this environment, which helps us set priorities, especially when the world around us is chaotic. There is no doubt that world events will impact our organization, our members, and their firms. We looked carefully at how IPIC can provide exceptional value to members and how to make the cost of membership worthwhile. We looked at IPIC’s core strengths—the things we are best and most uniquely positioned to provide—and how we can offer a compelling value proposition in how we deliver them in a changing environment. We are confident that this strategic plan will help us achieve that, and much, much more.

Our planning will need to be more flexible and nimble than in previous years, but this plan is our North Star, based on what we know today about the issues that matter most to our members. We are committed to reviewing our annual operational plans with additional rigour in this cycle to ensure, through our activities, that we continue to show members that their investment in IPIC is as worthwhile as it ever was.
