The Principles Behind BICSI
Mission, Vision, and Core Values
BICSI’s work is grounded in a clear purpose: advancing the profession responsible for the infrastructure behind connected environments.
Our vision defines the future we are working toward. Our mission defines the role BICSI plays in reaching it. Our core values define how that work must be carried forward by staff, volunteers, members, credential holders, affiliates, and the broader BICSI community.
The global authority advancing safe, secure, and reliable ICT infrastructure.
BICSI’s vision establishes the standard for our role in the global telecommunications infrastructure profession. As connected environments become more complex, BICSI advances the standards, education, credentials, and professional community behind reliable infrastructure performance.
Advancing the information and communications technology (ICT) profession.
BICSI advances the profession by setting standards, developing education, supporting credentials, and convening professionals whose work shapes connected infrastructure around the world.
Integrity • Service • Excellence
BICSI’s core values define the conduct behind the mission. They guide how we serve the profession, support members and credential holders, work with volunteers and affiliates, and uphold the trust placed in BICSI as a global authority.
Integrity is defined as the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles and moral uprightness. Integrity defines who we are as a professional association.
Service to the profession is important. BICSI takes service one step further by encouraging service before or above self because it reminds us that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves, and that is the BICSI mission.
Excellence defines how BICSI strives to do everything it does, from beginning to end and everywhere in between. BICSI staff, volunteers, members, credential holders, affiliates, and all other stakeholders have a role in ensuring BICSI provides the highest quality training and education, maintains highly credible credentialing programs, provides highly valued membership programs that meet member needs, and provides responsive customer care that exceeds service expectations.
BICSI will make integrity a daily practice through service above self, underpinned by excellence in everything we do to advance the information and communications technology (ICT) profession.
