Organisation highlights global thought leadership & diversity among its strategic aims

The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) has set out its three-year strategy and priorities for 2021 following consultation with its members, staff, branches, committees and board.

Setting out the priorities, Catherine Dixon, Director General CIArb, said: ‘CIArb is committed to promoting effective dispute resolution and the benefit it brings to societies and economies around the world. 

‘Ultimately our vision is of a world where disputes are resolved promptly, effectively, and creatively. To help make our vision a reality, we have committed to delivering our new strategy over the next three years.

Following consultation with members, branches, board, committees, and staff CIArb has developed three strategic aims:

  • Strategic aim one: globally promote the constructive resolution of disputes – this will enable us to promote the benefits effective dispute resolution brings, differentiate our members based on their expertise, training and compliance with professional standards and ethics, engage with and train non-members to understand the benefits of effective dispute resolution and work collaboratively with partners to promote all forms of effective dispute resolution across the globe.
  • Strategic aim two: be a global inclusive thought leader – we will be recognised as a global thought leader on all forms of dispute resolution, raise awareness of dispute resolution’s role in supporting the rule of law and enabling access to justice, highlight the use of innovation and technology, and identify through horizon scanning and working closely with our members around the world, trends affecting dispute resolution and use this to inform our members about changes in practice.
  • Strategic aim three: develop and support an inclusive global community of diverse dispute resolvers – we will provide accessible, relevant, and high quality training and development to support career progression enabling our members to innovate, differentiate themselves and compete in changing markets. Our global ambition will support our membership to grow around the world through our branches and networks. We will highlight the significant contribution CIArb members make and actively encourage and support equality, diversity and inclusion encouraging the best to join us irrespective of their background.

Ms Dixon added: ‘Our priorities for next year to deliver our new strategy include improving our communication and engagement with members through our branches, publications, and website and through the creation of a member insight group which will provide direct feedback to us.’
