This conversation should clearly involve the existing stakeholders I have listed above. But a standard alone is insufficient for success; both ORCID and CrossRef demonstrate the need for organisational infrastructure, services and outreach in order to drive uptake and ensure success. • Richard Padley, Semantical - Digital Science - Perspectives • https://www.digital-science.com/blog/perspectives/on-the-benefits-of-institutional-identity-a- guest-post-by-richard-padley/

Editor's Notes
- #3 Hello - for the next part of the agenda we’ll be providing Crossref updates and I’m very pleased that we’ll be hearing from Crossref two newest directors - Ginny Hendricks and Jennifer Lin. My theme today is growth and change at Crossref. Crossref is celebrating its 15th year - and this is actually the 16th Annual Meeting - and I’ve been to every single one - actually - the time has flown by - it’s been really interesting - things are always changing - and the pace of change is accelerating
- #4 So first of all I want to talk about the people at Crossref - they make everything happen. The team has grown but it has also changed - within a couple of weeks we will have 29 people - up 21% from 2014. Of those 29 - 9 of them - or 31% are new since last year - so we’ve got a lot of new blood. But importantly we’ve made strategic changes to our structure by creating to new director positions we’ve re-organized their teams.
- #5 Here is a high level view of our new structure - member and community outreach and product management are the two new teams and there are various new positions within those teams.
- #6 Here is our current ORG chart - the slides will be available online after the meeting if you want to look at this in detail. For 2016 we have three new positions budgeted - 2 developers - we are doing new things and enhancing and improving the existing services and system and a Relationship Manager to work with our Affiliates and the new Service Level Agreement models with DET and the Crossref API
- #7 And here is almost all the team at a staff dinner last night plotting world domination.
