Tentative Timeline – The Next Six Months • Overall timeframe – 2 to 3 years • Communications Strategy and Re-structuring : October 2008 • PCT – November/ December 2008 • Development related Organizational Units – January/February 2009 • Trademarks and Industrial Designs – March/April 2009 • A more comprehensive plan ensuring linkages across different streams and initiatives will be prepared
Key Challenges • The organization faces some key challenges which will need to be considered by the Strategic Re-alignment Program • Lack of certain skills and competencies and a very limited number of unallocated posts • Rapidly changing external environment to which we must constantly re-adjust • The need to ensure that WIPO is at the centre of the global IP debate • Administrative backlogs/ pending matters – e.g. promotions and classifications, short-term employee situation etc.
Communications to Staff • Consultations with the Top Management Team • Regular Director and Staff Briefings • Project web-site including frequently asked questions • Email address to which questions and suggestions may be sent
