MISSION, STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic Plan 2006-2010 Introduction Building the Vision We can be proud of what we have achieved in the last five years but it will mean nothing if we do not build on these foundations. In producing a Strategic Plan, the process is as important as the final words that appear on these pages. Behind the words that flow through this publication is a body of work that involved a wide range of international cricket s stakeholders. The planning process has provided a valuable opportunity to connect and interact with our Members, current and former players, commercial partners and the media. This began with interviews in June 2005 and was followed by a comprehensive questionnaire. This large body of information was analysed by an internal working party in conjunction with independent consultants and they identified a series of key themes. These were to: shift the focus from expansion to consolidation maintain cricket s status as a leading global sport build a shared sense of purpose and ambition with our Members ensure the financial security of the and its members promote self-sufficiency and self-reliance within the membership base ensure strong and effective governance throughout the game protect the status of Test cricket and consolidate the events calendar whilst delivering a major event every year maintain the strength and competitiveness of the top countries maintain zero tolerance on corruption The next phase was to draw together these key themes and mould them into the plan that is presented here. The following pages thus outline the strategic direction of the for the next five years but they only scratch the surface of the internal planning process. We are now undertaking the task of expanding these goals to ensure that everything we do is guided by our mission, inspired by our vision and complies with our values. We can be proud of what we have achieved in the last five years but it will mean nothing if we do not build on these foundations. This is a time of opportunity for the sport, let us work together to achieve. Malcolm Speed Chief Executive
