October 14, 2012, Beijing-Today, the international standards arena ushered in one of its most important festivals-world Standard Day, and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) anniversary standards. The World Standard Day, launched on October 14, 1946, aims to raise awareness of the importance of international standardization in world economic activities in order to promote international standardization to meet the needs of commercial, industrial, government and consumer worldwide. As one of the founding members of ISO, BSI pointed out that in today's society, people find the word "standard" almost every day in every country's news. However, despite our 2012 world Standard Day, there are still objections to standards as a platform to address social concerns, such as encouraging women to take up top management roles, managing business continuity, and promoting growth and innovation.
We live in an era dominated by major corporations. What we often forget is that today is the pace at which consumer expectations determine new product development, innovation and behavioural change. To survive, businesses and supply chains need to be more flexible in order to reach a consensus on products that meet consumer preferences and thus work together to meet new needs. For businesses and industries, standards are the most effective way to share knowledge and keep pace with ever-accelerating innovation. BSI sees the standards of the future, and through a new generation of norms and guidelines to build leadership, management and strategic development of the higher level of principles and good practice, so that enterprises fully realize their potential.
For a century, BSI has played a central role in the creation, sharing and implantation of global best practice standards. The expert team of professionals from all walks of life has worked together to create a widely recognized standard and to continue to refine it and use it as a framework for knowledge. In the past, standards tended to focus on product specifications and the management process architecture. Development to the present, information modeling, corporate social responsibility, intelligent city, Urban management, government anti-corruption, information security, Collaborative partnership, Asset Management and forensics standards are only a small part of the many areas that BSI recently covered. BSI is working actively with a wide range of companies around the world to play a strategic leadership role in new areas, while sharing business and industry best practices in these areas, thereby bringing sustainable competitive advantages.
"Today's people are more concerned about standards as a profession," says Dr Scott Steedman, the BSI standards officer. In the past, standards tended to focus on creating better products and management processes, and now we see the extension of standards expanding. BSI recognizes the importance of business behavior in the development process for achieving better performance. We believe that strong values from the Board of directors will be transmitted to all sectors of the enterprise and have an immediate positive impact on employees. Therefore, the next generation standard should pay attention to the value contribution of the enterprise and the basic principle of supporting the successful enterprise. Third-generation standards will help drive innovation, boost growth, and enable companies to fully demonstrate their commitment to stakeholders
