Moving IEEE into the Next Decade

1. Region 10 26 March 2006 Moving IEEE into the Next Decade Michael Lightner 2006 IEEE President and CEO

2. THANK YOU !

3. IEEE Vision Advance global prosperity by… • Fostering technological innovation • Enabling members careers • Promoting community …worldwide

4. IEEE Core Focus I like to capture our activities from an individual perspective as: • Enable technical professionals to distinguish themselves in a globally competitive environment The ‘flip-side’ of this is our role as members of countries and regions’ • IEEE members enabling their regions/countries to distinguish themselves in a globally competitive environment?

5. Population Explodes • World population continues to grow: from 2.6 billion in 1950, to 6.2 in 2002 and 9.1 billion in 2050 • Less developed countries (LDCs) will drive population growth for the next five decades.

6. Other Population Challenges Two Demographic Extremes: • Nearly 50% of the world’s population could be less than 18 years old by 2020. • In 2004, 20 percent of the people residing in Italy were over age 65; by 2020, China, Australia, Russia, Canada, and the United States will face a similar situation

7. Population for Selected Countries In 2002, China is the most populous country in the world and India, the second most populous. India gains population rapidly and eclipses China in total population in 2037. Half of the world’s more developed countries (MDCs), including those in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, are expected to experience population declines over the next 50 years. The United States is the only MDC expected to be among the ten most populous countries in 2050. MDCs will experience aging populations, while LDCs will have a “youth bulge.” Nearly 50% of the world’s population could be less than 18 years old by 2020.

8. Generational Differences The Younger Generation… • Perceptions of trustworthy may differ from elders' • Has replaced newspapers and TV weather reports with the Internet • The Internet has shaped the way they work, relax and even date. It's created a different notion of community and new avenues for expression. • More likely to go on-line to pay bills, register for classes, book travel, check TV listings, buy movie tickets and get directions. "My parents, before they go on road trips, get a booklet with travel directions that are printed and mailed to them. Can you imagine? Mailing away for travel directions?" • Accustomed to near-instantaneous keeping in touch — primarily via instant messaging, cell phones and e-mail. • However, far from digging a social black hole, they are using high-tech means to maintain or expand their network of relationships, to hang out with friends, to relieve boredom and even flirt.

9. Challenges (& Opportunities) In A Networked World Increased intensity and rate of change in workplace • Steady pressure on the individual • Struggles balancing work and personal lives Integration of cell phones, video, and Internet • Prices fall, and globalization accelerates. • Technology professionals want tools to help quickly form and disband, coordinate actions, and share information. • Self-organizing mechanisms are emerging and building a collective, on-line body of information and intelligence. Information sharing is tying cultures, knowledge and economies

10. Workforce Trends Nine shifts are projected in work patterns over the next two decades: • People Work at Home • Intranets Replace Offices • Networks Replace the Pyramid • Simultaneous work and travel • Communities Become Dense • New Societal Infrastructures Evolve • Shared Work and Responsibility • Half of all Learning is Online • Education Becomes Web-based

11. Worldwide Workforce Shifts Will Continue The global talent pool of scientists and engineers is increasing rapidly. Business, industry and academia will continue to access this talent pool over the next decade.

12. Workplace Trends • Jobswill require flexibility, creativity, lifelong learning, and interaction with others • Global marketplace demands around the clock access • The half-life of an engineer’s knowledge is estimated to be less than five years • In 10 years 90% of what an engineer knows will be available on the computer • 60% of future jobs will require training that only 20% of the current U.S. work force possesses [Workforce 2020 : Work and Workers in the 21st Century]

13. Workplace Trends: Specialization & Globalization Specialization • the size of the body of knowledge required to excel in a particular area precludes excellence across all disciplines. • Organizations will depend on teams of task-focused, project-specific specialists. • Use of independent specialists, consultants and contractors will increase. Globalization • Globalization is shifting the source of competitive pressure and competitive advantage • from excellence at the point of production — now more or less assumed • toward excellence in governing spatially dispersed networks of plants, affiliates and suppliers. • Top jobs will go to people who manage the large, complex adaptive systems for business.

39. Challenges Ahead • IEEE has been studying changes in global workplace • Global growth of invention • Technology business - China and India • How engineers work • Changes in work patterns • Anywhere, anytime, always on • Multiple languages, multiple time zones

40. Challenges • IEEE should anticipate the changes coming from many countries that can reshape its markets and agendas. • IEEE must globalize its thinking to anticipate new membership needs • IEEE products and services need new approaches in partnership with national associations and consultants in the relevant countries • IEEE members will need new “adaptational” skills to help deal with the complexity • IEEE should anticipate more professionals having longer careers and working into their 70s, 80s, and 90s • It is essential for IEEE to listen to young professionals and potential members. Think about what IEEE has to offer them.
