Some Parting Thoughts

• What can we do to help you promote your Chapter
  activities?
• What can your Chapters do to promote our
  publications and conferences?
• Can you identify Chapter people who are willing
  to work on TMC committees?
• What do you as Chapters want to hear from us?
• Should TMC introduce an electronic newsletter and
  if so can you suggest a format?

  survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one
  most responsive to change.
• 
  Charles Darwin
• The EMS to TMC transition was in response
• to needed change, and a new beginning
• TMC is to be an IEEE change agent for Engineering
  and Technology Management
• The TMC Governance Documents have been designed
  to facilitate this objective.

17

• Governance Documents Format
• All items are identified by their numeric
  designations
• 100 series Constitution
• 200 series Bylaws

  other society chapters
• IEEE is still perceived as a techie
  organization low interest in management topics
• Very difficult to organize free talks (min 250
  per talk) still exploring sponsorship ideas
• Bangalore already has enough events (IEEE, PMI,
  NASSCOM, TiE, ACM, IET, etc.) that create event
  overlaps and / or event fatigue

64
Future Plans

• Expert Talks
• Explore co-hosted events with PDMA, PMI, ACM and
  other professional bodies
• Workshops
• Workshop for Women Managers with WiE (early idea)
• Explore workshops on Innovation and Technology
  Management
• Conferences
• International / National conference in 2010

Binghamton Chapter Summary

• Chapter
• Small and disjointed. Lost members since EMS
  dissolution.
• Often join with other chapters or organizations
• Event Examples
• The Great Escape Technology Management in a
  POW Camp
• Technology Leadership for a Changing Economy
• Financial Workshop Series
• Center for Technology and Innovation
• HealthTech

69
The Great Escape

• Follow-up to Titanic Seminar
• Studied project management, technology management
  and teamwork from the perspective of POW victims
  vying to escape.
• History, movie reference, book takeaway
• Mark Kozak-Holland presented a fascinating
  seminar to our group. For thousands of years,
  the greatest teachers have used stories to
  effectively illustrate important concepts. Mark
  proves that history provides amazing stories with
  powerful lessons that provide value for todays
  world. His speaking and writing styles are
  entertaining, educational and effective. He is
  always a crowd favorite. Vince Socci,
  Professional Activities Chair, IEEE

Chapter Chairs KitO. Perez
77
The TMC kit is the first product from the TMC
Council in order to improve service to TMC
Chapters
TMC performs a new role within other IEEE
societies as well as older EMS Activities
As a TMC Chapter you could continue doing all EMS
past and current activities plus you could
develop some new activities with other IEEE
Societies
Several Societies are involved directly within
Technology Management Council
Broadcast Technology
Laser and Electro optics
Circuits and Systems
Professional Communication
Reliability
Communications
Signal Processing
Computer
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Solid State
Electron Devices
Systems Man and Cybernetics
Industrial Electronics
Vehicular Technology
78
Modern managerial techniques recommend that TMC
Chapters work together and understand each other,
sharing resources, expertise and activities
To assist with this, TMC has prepared the TMC
Chapters Kit as a first step in a living document
with tools and experience that can be shared
within chapters
The first version of the Kit groups different
documents with information about the Council,
such as the constitution, organization, products,
forms and other documents that exist and which
could be helpful for a TMC Chapter to improve
success
The TMC kit main document includes the goals,
composition and organization of the Technology
Management Council Additional documents are such
as the Council Constitution, Bylaws and Policies
Those documents are available from the website,
but we include them in the kit in order to offer
you a complete kit as a one source reference
79
The main document on the Kit is the Quick Start
Chapter Chair. This document was inspired by a
previous IEEE document developed as an MGA
(Members and Geographic Areas) initiative
This document is a first approach and we
encourage you to use it and improve it. The
document is very far from complete and its goal
is to be a best guidelines and practices to be
followed by every chapter in the
world, especially new chapters or re-launched
chapters which could lack previous experience
Document structure includes
First things to do in the first 30 days
Know your Chapter
Getting Organized
Develop Chapter Activities
Setting Up Chapter Meeting
Publicizing Chapter Meeting
Holding the First Meeting
Filling a Meeting Report
80
The intention is to share knowledge and add value
for future Chapters Officers your experience and
knowledge could be very important - please share
it with us
As a global organization we need to understand
local approaches in order to account for any
differences and set up activities in each
location in the best way, optimizing performance
Dont hesitate to ask for any clarification and
to communicate with us about adding any content,
or making modifications or fixing any errors
We have a TMC Chapters Committee that wants to
communicate withTMC chapters around the world.
We propose to build tools that let us share
knowledge about the tools and techniques for
managing Technology in a Technological world
