Vision for the future
I propose a focus on defining clear goals and effective processes
Goals:
Address market needs – driven by marketing input
Limit the scope of what we authorize so it directly addresses these needs
Processes:
Avoid selection processes which result in “kitchen sink” outcomes.
Rules: Continuous review. Challenge rules that are outdated.
Responsive leadership: an expected response time for any management process (e.g. a guaranteed 2 days for releasing a ballot or 1 day for putting a draft on the server).
Use technology when appropriate to avoid human error.
Engage early and positively with IEEE-SA to ensure their tools meet the needs of our membership.
