ITS Vice Presidency Context:

The Information and Technology Solutions
(ITS) Vice Presidential Unit (VPU) enables the World Bank Group to achieve its
mission of ending extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable
planet by delivering transformative information and technologies to its staff
working in over 150+ locations.

Our vision is to transform how the Bank
Group accomplishes its mission through information and technology. In this
fast-paced, ever-changing world, the formulation and implementation of the ITS
strategy is an ongoing, iterative process of learning and adaptation developed
through extensive consultations with business partners throughout the World
Bank Group.

ITS shapes its strategy in response to
changing business priorities and leverages new technologies to achieve three
high-level business outcomes: business enablement, by providing Bank Group
units with innovative digital tools and technologies to transform how they
deliver value for their clients; empowerment & effectiveness, by ensuring
that all Bank Group staff are connected, able to find information, and
productive to accelerate the delivery of development solutions globally; and
resilience, by equipping the Bank Group to provide risk-based cybersecurity and
robust data protection for a global network and a growing cloud platform.

Implementation of the strategy is guided by
three core principles. The first is to deliver solutions for business partners
that are customer-centric, innovative, and transformative. The second is to
provide the Bank Group with value for money with selective and standard
technologies. The third principle is to excel at the basics by providing a high
performing, robust, and resilient IT environment for the organization.

The ITS mission is to leverage
information and technology as a force multiplier to accelerate, deepen, and
sustain development impact. ITS is on an Agile transformation journey,
reshaping all aspects of the operating model to increase and accelerate value
creation.
