  1. IEEE AES Society Strategic Planning and Execution Update May 2014 Bob Rassa AES Treasurer

  2. Background • AES is one of the original Societies of IEEE, and predates the 1963 merger of AIEE (founded 1884) and IRE (founded in 1912) • Prior to 2009 when Strategic Planning was first initiated within AES, we had no formal strategy • The BoG dealt only with status and issues • It is the hope of AES leadership that our strategic plan guide our growth and help ensure our technical and financial success by giving focus to our activities. • A Strategic Plan is a “living” document, meant to be updated as conditions change, such as when our conference business model fell apart last year due to US government conference restrictions.

  3. Strategic Planning Goal • Make AES more responsive, relevant and exciting to attract, engage and retain members from the theoretical, managerial and applications communities around the world. • Accomplish this via our publications, conferences, and various technical & educational activities, to include both Chapter as well as Society activities. • Strategy is not the same as tactics or implementation • Strategy is the 3-year forward look on what we want to accomplish • Tactics are how we do this and status on current happenings • Strategy shows goals that are reasonable and attainable • A strategy that says, for example, “convert one technically cosponsored conference to financial per year” is not practical since current financial sponsors aren’t generally willing to give up the surplus.

  4. Recommendation • AES should generate a short Annual Report to members, highlighting what we accomplished during the year. It should include: • Short summary of Technical Panel activities (stick to technical; number of meetings held is irrelevant) • Short summary of conferences held (attendance figures yes, papers presented yes, financial performance no) • Actions taken to improve Transactions (increased page count, reduced backlog) • Magazine list of special topics covered during the year. This can include a request for special topic ideas. • Distinguished Lecturers available (number delivered isn’t relevant, the fact they are available is relevant) • Major Awards presented • Society actions taken to benefit members • Number of Fellows elevated • Other items of interest; new strategies? New ideas? • Request for items to be considered by the Board
