ICT encompasses the internet-enabled sphere as well as the mobile one powered by wireless networks. It includes antiquated technologies, such as landline telephones, radio and television broadcast. All of which are still widely used today alongside cutting-edge ICT pieces such as artificial intelligence and robotics. ICT commonly means more than its list of components, though. It also encompasses the application of all those various components. It's here that the real potential, power and danger of ICT can be found.

Developing objectives helps your organization create specific and feasible ways in which to carry out your mission. Completed objectives can serve as a marker to show members of your organization, funders, and the greater community what your initiative has accomplished. Creating objectives helps your organization set priorities for its goals. It helps individuals and work groups set guidelines and develop the task list of things that need to be done. It reemphasizes your mission throughout the process of change, which helps keep members of the organization working toward the same long-term goals. Developing the list of objectives can serve as a completeness check, to make sure your organization is attacking the issue on all appropriate fronts.
