Introducing Shape the FutureNick Poole, Chief Executive, CILIP

Introducing Shape the Future

• An open and collaborative project to develop CILIP’s Strategic Plan to 2020

• Launched on the 23rd September

• Runs to the 16th December

• Combination of online, social media and face-to-face engagement:

– #uklibchat & #CILIP2020 hashtag– Member Network, SIG’s & Branch meetings – Online questionnaire – Direct responses– ‘Strategy Wall’ at CILIP’s London offices

A collaborative project

• Shape the Future is an example of ‘open strategy’

• Principles:

– The emerging landscape is too complex & the pace of change too rapid for any one group of individuals fully to encompass

– A decentralised approach to strategy and planning enables the whole community to benefit from the insight & expertise of its members

– Ownership of the strategy is shared and therefore more likely to represent the collective ideas and priorities of the community

– The process itself serves both to engage existing members and encourage new people with new skills and insights to join the community

Objectives

• Deliver a planning process that is interesting, engaging and informative

• Secure engagement in the concepts and aims of the Strategic Plan by the widest cross-section of CILIP members and stakeholders

• Provide a coherent planning framework for staff in CILIP, CILIP in Scotland, CILIP Cymru, CILIP in Northern Ireland, Regional Member Networks, Special Interest Groups and Scottish Branches and other partners

• Engage non-members, lapsed members, critics and competitors in an open and constructive dialogue about CILIP’s values, priorities and services

• Provide the foundation of a strong and sustainable organisation for the future

One CILIP, four Nations

• A common vision & mission and shared goals

• A culture of mutual respect and awareness

• Delivering programmes which respond to national differences

• Supporting and reinforcing cross-border collaboration across the UK

Discussion session: CILIP today – what’s working and what needs to change?

CILIP’s Strategy to 2020

Royal Charter (2001)• The objects of the Institute shall be to work for the benefit of the public to promote education

and knowledge through the establishment and development of libraries and information services and to advance information science (being the science and practice of the collection, collation, evaluation and organised dissemination of information) and for that purpose the Institute shall have the power to:

– Foster and promote education, training, invention and research – Collect, collate and publish information, ideas, data and research – Unite all persons engaged or interested in information science by holding conferences & meetings– Promote improvement of knowledge, skills, position and qualifications of library & info professionals– Promote study and research in librarianship and information science– Promote and encourage the maintenance of adequate & appropriate provision of library services– Scrutinise any legislation affecting the provision of library and information services– Promote such further legislation as may be considered necessary– Represent and act as the professional body for persons working in library & information services– Form branches, regional member networks, sections or groups– Print, publish and sell communications, papers or treatises– Invest and borrow monies in support of these aims

Issues on the horizon

• Information literacy as a core competence

• The changing nature of education & the curriculum

• Equality of opportunity, access to knowledge & the ‘right to know’

• Celebrating an ageing population

• Growth, industry & jobs – the ‘Knowledge Economy’

• A mature connected society – trust, authority, privacy & safety

Engaged customers

“To be a librarian or information professional is to be someone who believes that they can change the world through knowledge”

R.D LankesCILIP Conference

“CILIP’s purpose is to unite, represent and grow the library and information profession”

But...

• Closures, service reductions & ‘hollowing out’ of public libraries

• Reducing role of librarians in school libraries

• Downsizing, consolidation or closure of private-sector employers (eg. law firms)

• Lack of connection between research outputs & library/information skills

• Broader context of de-valuing of professional status

• Prioritisation of generic skills over technical/professional skills

What do we want?

1. Every boy & girl has the opportunity to read, develop their information literacy and critical thinking skills

2. Every school with a library and a library and information professional at its heart

3. Every community supported by & benefitting from the skills of a library & information professional & able to exert their right to access knowledge

4. Every business investing in the skills to value and managing knowledge & information as an asset

5. Every University, enterprise, charity, hospital or organisation with the skills to create, manage and re-use knowledge and information to benefit their users
