LIXI Board 2009 Strategy Session

Each year the LIXI Board holds a half-day strategy session, to establish and refresh action plans for the coming year to correspond with a three year strategic plan. This is also an opportunity for new board members to inject fresh thinking into the process and influence the direction of LIXI.

This year the session was held on January 28th, and was facilitated by Chris Richards of Richards Consulting. Chris has an accumulated wealth of experience facilitating executive and senior management groups ranging from government departments to small and large businesses, including in the financial sector.

The board reviewed LIXI's operations, performance and industry involvement over the past couple of years to identify the areas to be targeted for development and effort. Several particular areas stood out, including Engaging Industry at a higher level; reviewing Funding alternatives; Standards Development - both member-driven and of course with our biggest project of the next couple of years, NECS; and reviewing the development Methodology. These initiatives will all be driven of a foundation of communication, including the Evening Series events, Advisory Panels, and of course the most influential conference on the industry calendar, the Annual LIXI Forum.
