CEN and CENELEC are undertaking a digital transformation program to support Goal 2 of our Strategy 2030: Our customers and stakeholders benefit from state-of-the-art digital solutions. This will involve transforming the way we do things: from old processes, products, rules and systems 🐛 to new ones 🦋.
The program currently comprises several projects:
These projects were first initiated in 2017 with the CEN-CENELEC Digital Transformation Strategy and are now continuing in support of the CEN-CENELEC Strategy 2030.
This video created on 2021-11-04 for the Technical Body Officer seminar explains the digital transformation program.
These are excerpts from the CEN-CENELEC Strategy 2030.
Digitalization presents a major change in how we live and interact as a society, how we work and do business. The gathering and conversion of data into countless digital solutions offers unprecedented opportunities for businesses to make better informed decisions, become more efficient and develop innovative products and services. This digital transition of our societies and economies does not come without costs and risks, however, and many of its applications have raised concerns related to transparency, privacy and security issues.
For CEN and CENELEC, thriving in the digital era will require significant reflection, investment and cooperation. It offers an opportunity to be bold and to lead the way in bringing the standardization community firmly into the 21st century, as we embark on a comprehensive digital transformation of our processes, products and services. Digitalization will change the way we operate and who we work with, how we create, manage and interact with standard content and, most fundamentally, how we create value for our stakeholders and customers in a digitalizing economy.
We live in a rapidly changing, interconnected world, where information and communications technology (ICT) penetrate all areas of society. As economic and industrial processes change, the standardization needs of our stakeholders and users will evolve accordingly.
CEN and CENELEC will adjust to the changing needs and expectations of our customers to continue to provide user-friendly, state-of-the-art standardization services and products. We will develop and deliver state-of-the-art digital solutions, to drive the creation and use of standards. More concretely, we aim to digitalize our standards development processes, as well as the deliverables they produce.
It is important to note that, in doing so, CEN and CENELEC will maintain a close alignment with the relevant initiatives at ISO and IEC to provide a seamless, user-friendly standardization environment for our stakeholders and customers.
The Digital and IT Strategic Advisory Group (DITSAG), is responsible for advising the CEN and CENELEC Administrative Boards on all aspects related to the Digital and IT implementation of the CEN-CENELEC strategy, including this digital transformation program.
