[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

**Apologies for cross posting**


*Baltimore, MD **– **January 25, 2024* *– *The National Information
Standards Organization (NISO) has announced their strategic plan for
October 2023–2026.

The strategic planning process is led by NISO’s Board of Directors, working
with the Executive Director and staff. The updated plan, developed by an ad
hoc Strategic Planning Committee led by Board member Jonathan Clark, builds
on the success NISO has seen following its 2019 merger with the National
Federation of Advanced Information Services. The plan takes into account
NISO’s expanded membership and the growth of the NISO Plus conference and
positions the organization to aggressively and sustainably pursue new
objectives and goals. As part of the planning process, the Committee
renewed their commitment to NISO’s mission and vision statement and
established a new set of values.

NISO’s mission remains focused on the development of authoritative
standards. Its vision is a world where all benefit from the unfettered
exchange of information—a world in which all parties involved with content
creation and dissemination collaborate to build and support an
infrastructure allowing access to everyone. Through engaging with the
diversity of the community, NISO will produce the best solutions for the
widest possible impact.

To complement this mission and vision, the Board has added a new set of
underlying values:


   -

   NISO seeks consensus among participants in their work and strives for
   outputs that serve a worldwide community.
   -

   NISO is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in
   everything they do.
   -

   NISO equally values the contributions of all voices in their processes.


The NISO Board also revised their approach to their strategic objectives
and identified the following areas for NISO to focus on over the next three
years:


   -

   Community: NISO nurtures an engaged, inclusive, and sustainable
   community. NISO is recognized for connecting diverse stakeholders and
   inspiring collaboration among them.
   -

   Leadership: NISO builds knowledge through leadership and innovation in
   improving efficiency in the information community. NISO is recognized for
   its expertise and considered an exemplar for standards development for
   information management.
   -

   Growth: NISO grows meaningfully and expands its standards work and
   services portfolio in areas of highest demand and the greatest potential
   for expanding their resources. NISO is recognized for actively seeking new
   opportunities.


Under each of these themes, the NISO Board adopted a specific set of
objectives, with related activities and key performance indicators to help
track progress. As well as reporting back to the Board on their activities,
NISO will also share regular updates in their Information Organized (I/O)
newsletter and at their annual members meeting.

"We are excited to unveil NISO's new strategic plan, emphasizing our
commitment to community, leadership, and growth,” said Karim Boughida, NISO
Board Chair. “We aim to nurture an engaged and inclusive community, lead
through innovation, and grow strategically. Anticipate remarkable strides
for NISO and all those we serve!"
