2017 Executive Council Report for President C. G. Muniak Ph.D. CSP International System Safety Society
Paradigm shifts are needed to address issues of importance – the world is changing. For example, brick and mortar stores (i.e. showrooms for AMAZON), restaurants and movie theaters are experiencing economic stress due to a decrease in customers. However, some of these enterprises are making successful adjustments. - The ISSS must make successful adjustments. Changes must be done carefully to avoid altering valid approaches. Way Forward for 2016-2017 International System Safety Society
Way Forward for 2016-2017 • We will employ a strategic approach that will help focus our efforts • Increased membership both individual and corporate and financial stability are the key objectives for the near term • There are many good ideas for change, the key objectives will help focus our efforts on a subset of identified changes that can actually be achieved with the available volunteer resources International System Safety Society
Way Forward for 2016-2017 • Paradigm shifts that are in progress • EC meetings will be held monthly and voting will primarily be done electronically, this will allow the EC members to be more efficient and give them a better opportunity to solve strategic issues. • The EC will assume the planning, management and operational control of the ISSC. • An effort is being made to strengthen the JSS editorial board. This is to help the journal and possibly assist in reviewing conference papers. • We will investigate alignments with entities such as Arizona State University and industry funded projects.
