32. Work Programme (iterative process)
Identification of “gaps” in performance
GPIs evaluated against these gaps to identify those that would most appropriately provide the operational improvements necessary to meet performance objective(s)
development of scenarios for implementation of initiatives, cost-benefit analyses of the various scenarios and preliminary development of infrastructure support requirements
Additional steps: development of implementation plans and funding profiles, further review of human resource requirements to support the identified initiatives, followed by further cost-benefit analyses
National and regional implementation plans developed or amended based on the selected initiatives
Planning tools will assist planners in carrying out the above steps

38. Expectations

39. Current Global Plan Baseline
The current Global Plan provides a static representation of the ATM Enhancement timeline
The regions have incorporated this format into their CNS/ATM implementation plans
Although this static format was useful to provide a survey and planning framework it does not provide adequate visibility of current implementation status.

40. Global Plan Transition
A stated objective of the updated Global Plan is the transition to a living document
A dynamic reporting system will allow management visibility into the current status of program activities
A common reporting format will allow ICAO to a establish measurable progress at both global and regional levels.

42. Efficiency Objective:
Implementation of a seamless, global air traffic management system that will enable aircraft operators to meet their planned times of departure and arrival and adhere to their preferred flight profiles with minimum constraints and without compromising agreed levels of safety.
