Strategic Planning and New Activity Development
|
|
ASTM International committees are designed to reflect the breadth of the industries they represent, with all stakeholder groups present. Due to the inherent complexity of many industries, it is imperative that committees retain focus in regard to their overall mission – strategic planning is a tool that can greatly assist a committee in accomplishing this goal. A comprehensive Strategic Planning philosophy reinforces a committee’s strengths, provides direction and focus, helps an activity move toward a desired result, and maximizes potential resources.
