Strategic Plan

ISBT Strategic Plan 2019 – 2024

Preparations for the 2019 – 2024 strategic plan started in November 2018 and finished at the Board retreat in June 2019. All Board members participated together with a member of the Young Professionals council. How did we get to our strategic plan? 

• In June 2019 we reviewed ISBT’s strategic priorities developed at the meeting in November 2018.
• We received and discussed new information provided by the member and Board surveys. 
• We developed consensus on the new mission, vision and activity scope of ISBT.
• We translated our strategic priorities into concrete actions.

The result is our strategic plan for 2019 – 2024.

The new Strategic Plan will drive everything we do for the next 5 years. We want to expand on our recognition as a truly global and inclusive society with a high scientific focus which travels from ‘vein to vein’.
