This segment presents a range of actions and steps to implement them which should act as a starting point when larger organisations are considering how to make meaningful EDI improvements. Approximate time frames are included to provide additional context, however timescales will depend on your specific circumstances. Initial suggestions have also been made to consider which areas of the business might need to have overall responsibility for each of the action points.

Larger organisations typically have a greater capacity to invest in EDI than their smaller counterparts. They are also subject to more regulatory and industry pressures, and are more likely to be held to account by their clients and customers to demonstrate the ways in which they are tackling EDI concerns. 

Because of their size and available resources, larger organisations can create positive change by supporting micro-enterprises and smaller organisations that comprise the majority of businesses in this sector.
