Standardisation training for start-ups & SMEs in ICT or with applications in telecoms
Webinar series: 16, 23 & 30 January 2025
Standardisation underpins the seamless operation of global telecommunications by establishing common guidelines, fostering innovation, and supporting the ever-growing demand for interconnectedness.
Starting with explaining standardisation and its benefits, this webinar series is designed to demonstrate how it can contribute to business success and explore the relationship between standards and intellectual property. The webinars will be packed with insights and actionable advice.
Thursday 16 January 2025, 14:00 – 15:00
Delivered by Tony Wakefield, Trainer and Competency Development Specialist, Wray Castle
Standardisation impacts almost everything we do, from driving a car to choosing paint, and it is the commercial bedrock of many multi-billion dollar businesses – it is especially important in ICT, and that is the focus of this session.
In this short training session, we explain what standardisation is, explore the benefits, and highlight the different types of standard and how they relate to regulations. We build an appreciation of the scale and extent of standardisation by briefly considering modern living environments before focusing squarely on ICT.
In particular, we look at how standardisation evolved within the telecoms and ICT sector, which organisations are involved, what the ICT standards ecosystem looks like, and how individual standards are produced and updated.

Delivered by Tony Wakefield, Trainer and Competency Development Specialist, Wray Castle
In this short training session, we look at how standardisation drives a range of economic and business outcomes (across many industries), including enabling innovation and competitiveness, fostering compatibility and collaboration, and underpinning economies of scale in production.
We explore how standardisation can be strategically leveraged to underpin business success – focusing on how companies (and individuals) both contribute and benefit from the standardisation processes and their own position within a wider ecosystem.
We explore the commercial benefits of standardisation, how value can be built using the standardisation frameworks, and showcase a real-world case study that demonstrates the power of standardisation.
