7. © 2013 GS1 Why are we reviewing our Strategy 7 There are some strategic questions that require a review of our long term strategy and alignment by all GS1 stakeholders: 1.What is our Core Value Proposition and ‘Reason for Being’ 2.Products: Are we a Standards Consortium (Standards) or a Services Organization (Standards, Services and Solutions)? If the later, how to preserve our neutrality? 3.Sectors: Do we want to focus on current Sectors that use the GS1 ID System or expand to other Sectors requiring different identification systems? 4.Digital: What is GS1’s role in an increasing Digital World? 5.Organization: Are we a global, highly interdependent federation or a loose confederation of 111 country-based organizations?
