This is a Time of Change for IEEE
Major strategic studies on membership publications, conferences and societies
Expect changes this year and next Board is listening and supporting change Retiring ED allows revisioning IEEE staff
leadership This is not business as usual We must take advantage of this openness
to change
What are the Challenges
The value equation for IEEE is broken The value and importance of volunteers
is not adequately acknowledged Challenges to our publishing activities
This is a $30M net to IEEE that is at risk The pipeline for engineering and
computer science is too small The reputation of engineers and
computer scientists
The Value Equation
Need more options for members at reasonable prices
Professional Education Personal HomePages Personalized Information Services
Goal - General member fees $40-$60 (?) (Spectrum, Institute, TBD ,,,),
then buy services from menu gain additional services and recognition based on
volunteering
The Volunteers Volunteers -our most valuable resource - est. at
$750M/yr ! IEEE needs volunteers. Mechanisms for attracting volunteers
Reputation for excellence, community of peers Chance for leadership and making a difference 15% of members are volunteers. 50% of volunteers are not
members. Reviewers <50% IEEE members, authors ~50% IEEE
members, conference committees - no requirement to be IEEE member
We need more creative thinking to attract and retain volunteers
Senior Member & Distinguished Member based on Service
Publication and Information Access
Products and Services - Future is providing solutions not papers, journals, etc.
Open access movement a challenge to our publications and membership
My proposed response We should not have a library of publications, but
rather an evolving and richly featured research tool. Possible ‘iTunes’ model $1/paper download plain pdf Combining solution packages with iTunes downloads
gives us Open Access without charging authors and maintains our net revenue from publications.
Publications and Information Access
We must capture the tremendous educational activities of the IEEE
for professional education as a member benefit as product for non-members Build on partnership models of Computer Society
and LEOS, connecting with chapter and section activities and others
Building the reach of our Standards activities Participating globally in the future of
engineering education
Pipeline and Reputation
We must build a serious effort in pre-college education
Language in pre-college should have recognition and respect for engineering and computer science and not just a general science orientation
We have to be in primary schools as well as secondary schools
Pipeline and Reputation
Engineering and Computer Science must be viewed with respect and trust by the general public
Don’t just be known because of bugs, malware, major failures
Challenge the commodification of engineering
This is a long term effort that is necessary for the future of the profession
Summary IEEE is the defining organization for our profession As such it must embrace
Change Opportunity All elements of the profession
Members, non-members, industry, other organizations, customers and partners
We must set professional standards Now is the time to look to the future, building on our
inspiring past and current strengths We need your ideas, questions, participation and
leadership. Without you the IEEE would not exist I would appreciate your vote and help in building the
IEEE of the future
