The IET Framework Working to engineer a better world 1
IET Vision & Mission Working to engineer a better world To inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community, supporting technology innovation to meet the needs of society. Working to engineer a better world 2
Our Mission Work in partnership with key stakeholders to: Promote engineering as a positive career choice Encourage diversity in engineering Provide positive hands on engineering experiences Inspire practising engineers Provide up to date and globally relevant technical information solutions Encourage and support continuing professional development Provide opportunities to share knowledge through multiple channels Facilitate and connect expert networks Be guardians of professional standards and quality assurance Raise the profile and understanding of the contribution of engineering to society Provide unbiased, evidence-based advice to government Work with others towards a stronger, more unified voice for engineering Leverage the strength of IET members and volunteers around the world Working to engineer a better world 3
Our Vision Working to engineer a better world Our Mission To inspire, inform and influence the global engineering community, supporting technology innovation to meet the needs of society Our Priorities Supporting students and early career professionalism Engagement with professional development User-centric knowledge solutions Demonstrating public relevance Working across boundaries for innovation & impact Our Values Integrity Excellence Teamwork Working to engineer a better world 4
Priority: Support the transition of students and young professionals into engineering careers Work with educational stakeholders to promote engineering as an inspiring career choice Provide a range of scholarships to support engineering students into education Promote role models and case studies of successful young engineers from diverse backgrounds Work with universities and employers to increase visibility on campus and successful transition into employment Structure services, communications and pricing to career stage (Professional Home for Life) Embed younger members in IET governance & volunteering Promote professional registration as achievable at an earlier career stage than currently perceived Support greater professionalism through technician-level qualifications KPI: The number of non-student/apprentice members below the age of 40 The number of newly registered members Working to engineer a better world 5
Priority: Engagement with professional development to ensure and demonstrate engineering competency Provide tools to support and monitor structured CPD (Career Manager) Focus activities around sectors so engineers can quickly identify relevance Inspire and inform new and experienced engineers and technologists with a range of events and lectures on cutting edge topics Develop comprehensive, structured and accessible learning solutions (the IET Academy) Encourage global networking and peer-peer sharing of information and ideas via online engineering communities Support the development and adoption of technical quality standards Encourage volunteering to provide ambassadors and utilise their skills and knowledge to deliver local activity Provide solutions for SMEs in developing their engineers knowledge & competence KPIs: The number of event attendees physical and virtual Working to engineer a better world 6
Priority: Deliver user-centric knowledge solutions for rapid access to relevant content and services Provide channels and support for authors to enhance quality and speed to publish Track emergent technologies and proactively commission relevant content & activity Maintain multiple channels, including provision of open access services Provide tools and resources to support digitally enabled communities for networking, content creation and to maximise knowledge sharing Focus on member, user and customer information needs and present information in a device-independent and user-centric way Seek to add value to published knowledge through application of indexing and semantic enrichment techniques (Inspec+) Use business models that encourage long-term engagement and are sustainable e.g. subscriptions Work with trusted institutional partners to achieve reach and economies of scale KPIs: The number of peer-reviewed papers published by the IET The impact of those papers on research (journal impact factors) Working to engineer a better world 7
Priority: Demonstrating the public relevance of engineering to society and as a positive career choice Promote the importance of engineering and technology as solutions to societal needs Provide thought leadership and policy influence to deliver better engineering solutions to society Work in partnership to inspire young people to consider engineering as a career and to make choices which keep that opportunity open Positively encourage diversity and inclusion to maximise the talent available to engineering Ensure Savoy Place promotes and prioritises engineering activity KPI: The impact of IET messages in the media (quality coverage) Working to engineer a better world 8
Priority: Working across disciplinary, corporate and geographic boundaries to improve innovation and impact Demonstrate leadership by proactively supporting inter- and multi-disciplinary working as a mechanism to support innovation Work closely with academia, industry and government to promote the contribution of qualification and membership to professionalism Working with PEI s and regulators towards a common voice and collaborative solutions for the engineering community Work with national institutions and local volunteers to strengthen international linkages Support the international development of professional standards and training solutions where a sustainable need exists Source and distribute research content across the global research community to meet demand KPI: Unique (web) users Working to engineer a better world 9
Measuring our success Priority Supporting students and early career professionalism Engagement with professional development User-centric knowledge solutions Key Performance Indicator Number of non-student and apprentice members below the age of 40 years Number of new registered members Number of event attendees Average number of unique IET.tv visitors per month Number of papers published (journals and events) Average journal impact factor Demonstrating public relevance Quality Coverage (The impact of IET messages in the media ) Working across boundaries Unique web users per month IET Values % of volunteers agreeing that Volunteers and staff work effectively as one team, with shared values, towards common goals (3 year target) Membership value rating (scale of 1-5 / 3 year target) Agreed IET surplus/deficit Working to engineer a better world 10
