Improving Software for Society
The Ten Es
In 2013, the Director General, Alastair Revell, launched The Ten Es. This heralded the start of the IAP’s transformation to meet the new and on-going challenges faced by the IT community. We’ve distilled them into the following ten statements that define how we will interact with our members:
ENHANCE
We will enhance what we offer to our members by focusing on career-oriented benefits that will help them develop professionally.
EXCHANGE
We will provide our members with opportunities to exchange ideas, both face-to-face and online.
ENCOURAGE
We will actively encourage our members to develop their careers by finding them mentors from within our membership.
EMPOWER
We will empower our members, especially our Fellows, to have a greater voice within our profession.
ENSURE
We will ensure the quality of our membership remains outstanding by extending the peer review procedure that applications receive and by providing online verification of membership.
ENABLE
We will enable members to contribute more to the running and development of the Institution by establishing opportunities for them to help the Institution flourish.
EDUCATE
We will continue to educate our members and the wider profession by publishing a learned journal and by developing a Body of Knowledge for the profession.
ENLIGHTEN
We will enlighten our profession, shaping its development by liaising more with government, academia and employers.
ENGENDER
We will engender the spirit of professional duty in our members so that they can evangelise the need for professionalism in the wider IT community.
EVOLVE
We will evolve into a higher profile and more significant specialist professional body by increasing our relevance to our own members, the wider profession and Society at large.
