IEEE has not kept pace with the changing profession. It must adjust or gradually diminish in relevance. We need to:

Increase IEEE's relevance to industry, and tie them better to academia and government, e.g.:

• Consulting services to corporate, government, e.g. cross-technology evaluation
• Practitioner reports, trend papers of timely, practical value
• Host modern events targeted to industry, culminating in Industry Congress

Innovate IEEE by introducing offerings, e.g.:

• Recruit members from 18M SW developers, talent mgmt., new member grades
• Tighter workflow connecting TAB and SA for right-timing of agile standards
• Corporate partnership with SMBs and startups in addition to enterprises

Expand global membership in Asia/Africa, strengthen Americas/Europe:

• Grow IEEE-USA into IEEE-Global-Policy, extend with IEEE-Asia, IEEE-Europe
• Collaborate with sister organizations, such as NAE, AAAI, ACM, ASM
