In order to serve its 190 member States, irrespective of whether they are in the developed or developing category, ICAO has to justify its performance and values based stature. In other words, ICAO needs to undergo a whole system change. For the Business Plan to be implemented and results to be produced, firstly ICAO s leaders (its Council and the senior managers of the Secretariat) have to drive the process of transition from service to performance.

If the organization does not have a vision, a mission, and a plan, the leader takes action to get such statements articulated and a plan developed.
