2022-2027 Strategic Plan: Initiatives

1. Establish a Renewed Energy & Visbility

Our culture, reputation, and related efforts to drive retention and growth rely on 1) who we are as a membership group and 2) our visibility in the marketplace. The focus will be centered on maintaining the SIOR brand of excellence within the industry.

2. Alignment & Diversity in Membership

Diligently driving alignment in industrial and office, while attracting the next generation of leaders and expanding diversity within our ranks. Alignment in membership should also include attracting the next generation of designees through the growth and cultivation of the member associate program.

3. Enhance the Customer & Stakeholder Experience

Evaluating the “customer’s” journey, using data, analytics, and developing a more robust service mindset to drive how we operate, member interactions, and delivery of those specific resources that exceed expectations. At the core of this is considering how we approach every industry interaction and what that experience looks like.

4. Being a True Global Organization

Acting like a global organization leads to becoming a global organization. Solving for our growth internationally, ensuring we speak as a global organization, and driving it into our DNA and how we look/feel to the broader industry will make SIOR a truly global organization.

5. Raising the Bar

Establishing a new precedent for what excellence looks like in the industrial and office marketplace by increasing the benchmark to become an SIOR designee. Continuing to define best in class in everything we produce and deliver as an organization.
