  working toward a strategic vision and a plan.
• Through facilitated sessions it has developed the
  following
• PURPOSE STATEMENT
• To enable and promote the collaborative
  application of technical knowledge to advance
  economic and social well-being.
• BIG AUDACIOUS GOAL / 10 YEAR GOAL
• Be recognized as a preferred global provider of
  high-quality, market-relevant technology
  standards and services that promote their
  universal adoption.
• 5 KEY FOCUS AREAS / 3-5 YEAR GOALS
• Organizational Business Model
• Nurturing Strategic Technologies
• Process Efficiency
• Education About Standards
• Global Participation and Perception

11
IEEE-SA BoG Strategy

• Further, for each of the 5 key focus area, it has
  tried to express what would happen if the SA was
  successful in each
• Organizational Business Model
• IEEE-SA will have robust and appropriately
  balanced lines of business that will reflect the
  full life cycle of standards.
• Nurturing Strategic Technologies
• The IEEE SA will collaboratively create an
  environment to incubate technologies that may
  become market-relevant standards.
• Process Efficiency
• The IEEE SA will provide an efficient standards
  development environment and a streamlined process
  time to completion for the 4 stages of standards
  development 1. time to initiation, 2. time to
  document creation, 3. ballot and resolution, 4.
  full life cycle support. The overall results will
  include faster time to completion.
• Education About Standards
• The IEEE will 1. improve the understanding of
  standards 2. speed the adoption of standards and
  standards related products 3. increase global
  participation/acceptance and get more people
  involved in the process.
• Global Participation and Perception
• The SA is an international organization and will
  have strong international participation on all
  levels (governance, etc.).

12
IEEE-SA BoG Strategy

• Also, for each of the 5 key focus area, a set of
  actions necessary to achieve the vision are being
  developed. For example for the Organizational
  Business Model focus area
• Increase public relations and marketing to build
  on value of the IEEE brand
• Manage reserves and insurance to satisfy risk
  concerns
• Prioritize range of business opportunities
  throughout the full standards life cycle
• Incentivize volunteers and staff entrepreneurial
  endeavors that further the strategic plan
• Reduce issues arising from limitations of IEEE
  business systems
• Apply assessment tools to new businesses (and
  over time, all businesses) to allow judgment of
  program success from various perspectives
• Broaden education of the IEEE Board of Directors
  on an ongoing basis regarding the value and use
  of standards.
• Add and enlarge existing revenue streams to allow
  the SA to grow the number of free access
  offerings of standards
• Decrease direct hard copy distribution of
  standards by SA, including a stop target date.
• This BoG will continue to work downward to
  further refine the tasks and actions necessary to
  achieve the stated goals.
