IIE disseminates and promotes its scientific work, supported by its diverse areas, which contributes to building alliances and the promotion, diffusion and technology transfer of its projects and their results, thereby continuing to serve as a primary ally for companies in the electricity and energy sectors, particularly for CFE and PEMEX.

Planning, Strategic Management and TechnologyIn January 2012, a strategic reflection meeting was conducted with the Executive Board, in which the current state of IIE was reviewed from the client perspective, income and expenses for 2012 were projected, implications of the financial situation were considered and a situational analysis (SWOT) was performed.

Short-term strategic planning meetings were held in February and October. Short-term actions were determined to improve the financial situation of the Institute, which included two primary areas: organizational climate and finances.

Among the actions taken to get better results, the new 2012 Incentive Plan was developed and implemented in December for staff in the research, administration and technical support areas. Internal communication mechanisms were also strengthened.

The actions of the Executive Board that stand out in the area of finances include providing close follow-up on meeting billing schedules in order to achieve the Institution’s goals for the year and implementing an austerity program. These actions strengthen the IIE’s working capital.

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) was restructured, which is coordinated by the Department of Planning, Strategic Management and Technology with the participation of the Strategic Planning Committee and the Strategic Planning Group.

At the 21st Strategic Analysis Meeting, the new version of the Institute’s strategic map was approved. This is structured according to four perspectives: clients, which focused on the Institute’s purpose for existing; finances, with a focus on financial sustainability; internal processes; and learning and growth. Two strategic issues were established that relate action-oriented perspectives with those that are results-oriented. The first includes competitiveness, technology and innovation and the second involves financial sustainability. The values statement was updated to include quality, innovative solutions, comprehensive solutions, commitment to the client and technological leadership.

The new version of the BSC is made up of 19 strategic objectives that will be driven by 13 strategic initiatives beginning in January 2013. Of these, the priorities are: defining and implementing incentive strategies for Institute staff; developing the technological planning of IIE; engaging in the process to implement innovation, and establishing financial management processes.

Work was advanced on processes related to the financial planning of the Institute in order to achieve long-term sustainability. A model is being designed that encompasses expenditures, billing and collections plans, reserve funds for incentives, working capital, investments in laboratories and infrastructure, and provisions for the retirement fund. The model will make it possible to plan for feasible scenarios with a certain degree of certainty and analyze risks in order to prevent their consequences. This financial model in its current form has made it possible to analyze information and formulate scenarios and prognostics for use in decision-making by the Institute’s Executive Board.

As part of the dissemination activities, IIE´s internet portal was kept up-to-date and a weekly news virtual magazine (NotiSEl) related to the Electricity Sector was sent to over 8,000 national and foreign subscribers who received their updates via email. In addition, communication channels were maintained using social networks such as Facebook, which has 1,540 followers, a significant number in comparison with other research centers.

Social ResponsibilityOne of the primary objectives of this program was to engage in activities of particular interest in specific areas such as education, the environment, equality and gender.

IIE has contributed to developing closer relationships with elementary, secondary and high school students, who visited IIE’s museum, laboratories and other important areas, so as to make known the historic value of the Institute, as well as the work spaces where research, science and technological development are carried out.

IIE also works toward maintaining ongoing relationships with the community in order to share intellectual capital, and therefore participates in events that promote science and technology with the support of entities such as the Morelos Council on Science and Technology (CCyTEM by its Spanish acronym), based on the program “Social Ownership of Science in Morelos”.

As part of the project “Visit Distant Communities” IIE conducted workshops in the locality of San José de los Laureles, municipality of Tlayacapan, and in Telixtac, municipality of Axochiapn, both in the state of Morelos. In addition, every year experiments and didactic material for children are presented about the work of the Institute and caring for the environment. This is accomplished through the Science, Technology and Innovation Day held by the Morelos Council on Science and Technology.

In the area of human rights, the perspective of equity and gender as issues of interest has brought about awareness-raising activities and contributions to the knowledge of the staff through exhibitions, conferences and workshops about sexist language and symbolism related to gender violence and masculinity. With these activities, IIE seeks to address issues involving social asymmetries in order to contribute to raising awareness about this important social issue.

Regarding the co-responsibility of personal, family and work life as well as to contribute to work-related health to foster the human development of the Institute’s collaborators, the health program “Surveillance and Control of Health and Work Risks” (VICORSAT by its Spanish acronym) was implemented. This program made it possible to counsel staff about preventive measures and the control of chronic-degenerative illnesses, as well as to provide nutritional counseling and encourage physical activity. Counseling workshops were held on key issues such as “School for Parents”, which defined the family as a source of strength for children. In addition, “IIE Children’s Day” was celebrated to promote family cohesiveness and the use of the Institute’s space.

IIE´s Social Responsibility program is focused on contributing to the creation and strengthening of cultural knowledge and practices pertaining to an institution that is attentive to issues of interest to the society.
