Effective October 2008, the Postal Service™ issued new Publication 2013, Vision 2013, and Publication 2013–A (brochure), Vision 2013 Overview. Both publications can be accessed online at www.usps.com/strategicplanning/vision2013.htm, and printed copies can be ordered from the Material Distribution Center as explained under “Ordering Information.” Each district and area will receive an initial distribution of 50 copies each of Publication 2013–A.
Publication 2013 presents the Postal Service plan for building our business and sustaining a strong, viable Postal Service for the next 5 fiscal years, ending in 2013. Publication 2013-A is a trifold that summarizes the detailed strategies in Publication 2013.
The Postal Service will continue to strengthen core operations and services, balancing an immediate and urgent need to reduce costs with a continued commitment to essential strategies such as Intelligent Mail®. The Postal Service will be guided by one principle: we exist to serve our customers. This vision is a commitment to ensuring a vital Postal Service for future generations and rests on three major strategies:
- Focus on what matters most to customers. Our vision is guided by one — that we exist to serve our customers. Our plan is built around satisfying the needs of tomorrow’s customers and creating new solutions that meet the requirements of a rapidly changing market.
- Leverage our strengths. We will build from our strengths — an unrivaled national network, sophisticated information systems, and dedicated employees in every community. There is enormous opportunity to leverage these assets to create a new customer value and generate profitable new revenue.
- Embrace change. We must embrace change to ensure the Postal Service is relevant and responsive to customer needs. We will use the Internet more extensively to build our business. We will take a leadership role in adopting environmentally sustainable business practices. And we will collaborate to drive change, accelerate innovation, and create new value.
