TAB: The Agenda for 2007 Region 10 Meeting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia 24 March 2007 Peter Staecker 2007 Vice-President, IEEE Technical Activities

Outline l What is the Technical Activities Board? l Major Board of IEEE l Societies & Technical Councils (44 & growing) l Financial health: collective vs individual l IEEE (& TAB): Is there a problem? l We are aging l Values are changing (MEMBER VALUE!) l The way we work with each other

Demographics of IEEE Members vs. TAB Demographic Members (all) Members (no students) TAB (2007) Age Years as a Member Society Memberships Job Responsibility ( % academic) 12.9% 53%

TAB Focus l Operations Management l Consolidate and integrate a US$ 170M business l Assure Compliance l Improve Operations l Define algorithms l collective expenses l collective revenues l Strategic Thinking l New Technologies l Grand Challenges or large scope problems l Value of Membership l Role of the Member l New approaches and tools

Member Value: Threats/Opportunities to IEEE l The Community of Choice is becoming the internet. l Sections? l Chapters? l Conferences?

Internet Community Builders l Web Communities & Personalization: l Appropriate influence on MyIEEE, Xplore by MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, Clip the Web, The Personal Bee l Game space presence: l Creating an IEEE presence in gaming world such as Second Life l Capturing the gaming community (Geelix, Xfire) l MashUps – How can we use this approach to help drive new problem solutions? l Example: jobs clearing house data base and Google Maps come together in a jobs listing map. l Example: ScienceCity (Technology, Energy, Design) – challenges – execution in an ideas-auction marketplace

Member Value: Threats/Opportunities to IEEE l The Community of Choice is becoming the internet. l Sections? l Chapters? l Conferences? l Employers or Libraries have intercepted the value proposition of IEEE Packaged Products* from the member. l Societies? * Print & electronic journals, magazines, conference proceedings, standards…

Value Chains of Packaged Products* IEEEMEMBER EMPLOYER or LIBRARY EMPLOYER MEMBERIEEE

And as a result… Society Memberships Trending Down IEL Corporate Sales Over $100M in sales

Important Issues for TAB…

Strategic Opportunities l Shaping the future l Addressing membership …while leveraging the strengths of IEEE

Conclusions: Shaping the Future l Nurture New Technologies l Define & address Big Scope Issues and Grand Challenges l Define & execute new approaches

l New Technology groups grew to 10 l Biotechnology and Bioengineering* l Distributed Intelligent Networks and Systems l Future Power and Alternative Energy Technologies* l Digital Intellectual Property l Earth Observations* l Organic Electronics l Biometrics* l Portable Information Devices l RFID l Technological Innovations for Efficient Energy Use and Energy Use management l Provide the framework for expanding the Technical Discussion within IEEE Technical Activities. l "IEEE New Technology Connections,” is the new and improved new technologies portal. It is now integrated with Technology Discourses and features IEEE.tv short segments. New Technologies

(What are) NEW Technologies? What about: l The graphene transistor l Nano pumps l Tissue printers

New Technologies: 2007 Activities l NT Web Portal: l Engage student chapters to make “By Students for Students” model happen. l Trial web page content creation using Region 9 l Forefront of Future Technologies: Produce NT web pages based on topics identified in IEEE Spectrum special issues and continue to work with IEEE Spectrum towards a NT conference. l l Conferences planned for l Portable Devices, RFID, Electric Ship Technologies.

Big Scope Problems/Grand Challenges l GEOSS l Megacities l Green Engineering l Alternative Energy Sources l Healthcare

Membership & TA (some Q’s) Should we be a membership organization first? How are we doing with younger members? Collaboration with GOLD to identify sticky products and services. Student members Do we know how to reach the Practicing Engineer? l New experiments to be included in Xplore l New Applications Publications – e.g. RFID l Professional Certification (ComSoc, Computer)

Shaping the Future l Nurture New Technologies l Define & address Big Scope Issues and Grand Challenges l Define & execute new approaches
