WORK PROGRAMS
Strategy and administration
The goal of this program is to provide overall leadership and administrative support for ICMM. It comprises three program components: (1) strategy; (2) project incubation; and (3) administration. Responsibility for this program area lies with the ICMM president.
A key aspect of ongoing strategy work is looking back to assess ICMM effectiveness, looking forward to identify emerging issues and feeding the results of both of these into the ICMM work‑planning process that has an immediate expression in terms of the next year within the three-year ICMM planning cycle, as well as a long-term perspective.
The “project incubation” function allows for the identification and testing of various initiatives that arise from the president’s overall perspective. If justified, they are forwarded for review by ICMM’s Executive Working Group and Council.
No different than any organization, ICMM faces a continuing need to refine administrative systems in search of greater efficiency and effectiveness. This work is ongoing in terms of: (1) human resources; (2) internal financial systems for which a finance and Administration Committee was activated in 2009; (3) a refined new members’ process; and (4) initiation of discussions leading to more formalized relationships with several international organizations.
