Our Corporate Plan Initiatives

Our four strategic pillars - Service Excellence, Service Innovation, Industry Leadership and Organisational Agility - are the foundation of our value proposition to our customers, community and industry. This section provides our 2019-20 assessment against the service delivery and capability initiatives central to our performance.

Industry Leadership

Promoting opportunities to enhance the safe and secure growth of the aviation industry, anticipating future needs.

Our role in fostering and promoting civil aviation challenges us, as an industry leader, to continually look for ways to be more proactive across the entire aviation ecosystem. We exemplify leadership by anticipating changes rather than responding to them and bringing together stakeholders from across our industry and community to navigate increasingly complex issues. This collaboration supports industry growth, as we jointly create an environment in which the aviation industry thrives.

The outcomes of the initiatives below ensure we are valued and accountable, efficient and commercial and agile and innovative.

Organisational Agility

Operating efficiently and effectively while remaining agile, to meet and exceed our customer and industry expectations.

Our organisational capability and capacity underpin everything we do. We need to set the internal conditions for service delivery and innovation to thrive, as we develop our agility to respond to a rapidly changing and increasingly complex environment. This means continuing to foster a culture that is customer-centric and commercially focused, with processes and systems in place to support our people.
