Some Parting Thoughts

1. What can we do to help you promote your Chapter activities?

2. What can your Chapters do to promote our publications and conferences?

3. Can you identify Chapter people who are willing to work on TMC committees?

4. What do you as Chapters want to hear from us?

5. Should TMC introduce an electronic newsletter and if so can you suggest a format?

The Vice President Operations shall maintain Council relations with the IEEE societies, the IEEE Regions, and outside organizations.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”

Charles Darwin

The EMS to TMC transition was in response to needed change, and a new beginning

• TMC is to be an IEEE change agent for Engineering and Technology Management

• The TMC Governance Documents have been designed to facilitate this objective.

Governance Documents Format

All items are identified by their numeric designations:

• 100 series – Constitution• 200 series – Bylaws• 300 series – Policies• 400 series – Procedures• 500 series – Miscellaneous

103 Membership i. Sustaining Members are societies …that

participate in the … governance of the Council by appointing a voting member to the Council Board of Governors (BoG), accept their proportional share of council financial obligations, and share equally in any council distribution of excess council reserves…

ii. Supporting Members are societies that… participate in the …governance of the Council by appointing a non-voting corresponding member to the Council Board of Governors (BoG)…

A Supporting Society, after paying a specified additional fee, may become a Sustaining Society Member by vote of the Council BoG…

Appointments and Elections of TMC Voting

Members There are two types of

TMC voting Governors:

• 14 Society representatives• Six TMC voting Officers.

Even Societies serve two years 2008-9Odd Societies serve three years 2009-10

• BTS – 02• CAS - 04• Computer - 16• LEOS - 36• PCS – 26• SMCS – 28• VTS - 06

• EMC - 27• ComSoc – 19• EDS – 15• IES – 13• RS – 07• SPS – 01• SSC – 37

Chapter Membership• Council Members are the members of the 14 Council

Member Societies.

• Because of the large diversity of technical interests, only a fraction of eligible Council members are interested in TMC activities.

• The Council should identify its active membership.

• 202.3 Individual Council Board of Governors Members

Council Officers serve as voting members on the Board of Governors, but cannot be Society representatives.

[If a rep becomes an officers, the society appoints a replacement]

• 205.2 Officer Terms of Office• The term of elected officers shall be for a two-

• Strong support from IEEE members from industry• Expert Talks have been a good draw (~40 attendees

on an average)• Newsletter has been very well-received and has

helped create high awareness about TMC• PDMA India co-hosted event was a great idea

Challenges Faced

• Lack of dedicated / dues-paid membership unlike other society chapters

• IEEE is still perceived as a ‘techie’ organization; low interest in ‘management’ topics

• Very difficult to organize free talks (min $250+ per talk); still exploring sponsorship ideas

• Bangalore already has enough events (IEEE, PMI, NASSCOM, TiE, ACM, IET, etc.) that create event overlaps and / or event fatigue

Future Plans• Expert Talks

– Explore co-hosted events with PDMA, PMI, ACM and other professional bodies

• Workshops– Workshop for Women Managers with WiE (early idea)– Explore workshops on Innovation and Technology

Management

• Conferences– International / National conference in 2010

• Event Examples– “The Great Escape – Technology Management in a POW

Camp”– “Technology Leadership for a Changing Economy”– Financial Workshop Series– Center for Technology and Innovation– HealthTech– Flexible Electronics Symposium

The Great Escape

• Follow-up to Titanic Seminar• Studied project management, technology

management and teamwork from the perspective of POW victims vying to escape.

• History, movie reference, book takeaway

“Mark Kozak-Holland presented a fascinating seminar to our group. For thousands of years, the greatest teachers have used stories to effectively illustrate important concepts. Mark proves that history provides amazing stories with powerful lessons that provide value for today’s world. His speaking and writing styles are entertaining, educational and effective. He is always a crowd favorite.”

Chapter Chair’s Kit

O. Perez

The TMC kit is the first product from the TMC Council in order to improve service to TMC Chapters

TMC performs a new role within other IEEE societies as well as older EMS Activities

As a TMC Chapter you could continue doing all EMS past and current activitiesplus you could develop some new activities with other IEEE Societies

Several Societies are involved directly within Technology Management Council

Broadcast Technology

Circuits and Systems

Communications

Computer

Electromagnetic Compatibility

Electron Devices

Industrial Electronics

Laser and Electro optics

Professional CommunicationReliability

Signal Processing

Solid State

Systems Man and Cybernetics

Vehicular Technology

Modern managerial techniques recommend that TMC Chapters work together and understand each other, sharing resources, expertise and activities

To assist with this, TMC has prepared the TMC Chapters Kit as a first step in aliving document with tools and experience that can be shared within chapters

The first version of the Kit groups different documents with information about theCouncil, such as the constitution, organization, products, forms and other documents that exist and which could be helpful for a TMC Chapter to improve success

The TMC kit main document includes the goals, composition and organizationof the Technology Management Council Additional documents are such as the Council Constitution, Bylaws and Policies

Those documents are available from the website, but we include them in the kit in order to offer you a complete kit as a one source reference

The main document on the Kit is the Quick Start Chapter Chair. This documentwas inspired by a previous IEEE document developed as an MGA (Membersand Geographic Areas) initiative

This document is a ‘first approach’ and we encourage you to use it andimprove it. The document is very far from complete and its goal is to bea ‘best guidelines and practices’ to be followed by every chapter in the world,especially new chapters or re-launched chapters which could lackprevious experience

Document structure includes:

First things to do in the first 30 daysKnow your Chapter

Getting OrganizedDevelop Chapter Activities

Setting Up Chapter Meeting

Publicizing Chapter Meeting

Holding the First MeetingFilling a Meeting Report

The intention is to share knowledge and add value for future ChaptersOfficers; your experience and knowledge could be very important - pleaseshare it with us

As a global organization we need to understand local approaches in order to account for any differences and set up activities in each location in the best way, optimizing performance

Don’t hesitate to ask for any clarification and to communicate with us about adding any content, or making modifications or fixing any errors

We have a TMC Chapters Committee that wants to communicate withTMC chapters around the world. We propose to build tools that let us share knowledge about the tools and techniques for managing Technology in a Technological world
