IEEE Vision
Advance global prosperity by…

Fostering technological innovation
Enabling members careers

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?

Population Explodes

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

2.0
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.
1.5
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.

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.
8
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
9
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
10
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.
11
Workplace Trends





Jobs will 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]
12
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.

Challenges of Transnationalism





Understanding local laws and responding
consistently
Adhering to core values and mission
Sensitivity to national needs and interests
affecting our members
Promoting community and communication
nationally and globally
Creating a toolbox of products and services
appropriate for each member area
38
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



Multiple languages, multiple time zones
39
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.
