2019 - 2021 BUSINESS PLAN
INSPIRING SAFETY INNOVATION
INTRODUCTION
Our 2019-2021 business plan provides a roadmap for how we will continue delivering on our 10-Year Strategy to become a knowledge-based and data-driven business that provides products and services in support of BC’s evolving technical safety system.
The business plan reflects our strategic priorities to advance the understanding and management of technical risks, leading to enhanced safety throughout the province.
While this business plan looks ahead with new initiatives and strategies, it also establishes continuity coming from the past year’s efforts.
