Good question. Buried, and I mean buried in work. This is report season for those of us working on sustainability reports. Couple that with recent work on the Intel’s annual report, proxy statement, communication strategies, annual strategy revisions, external commitments, etc, etc. and it means I don’t have as much time to tap out a blog post as I’d like.

This year marks Intel’s 10th anniversary as title sponsor of the Intel® Science Talent Search, the oldest and most prestigious science competition for high school students in the US. The goal of the competition is to highlight the very substantive and exciting work America’s younger generation has produced, to inspire other students to follow in their footsteps, and to encourage educators and communities across the US to help create a nurturing environment to inspire tomorrow’s innovators. In many cases, the research submitted by these high school students would qualify as a PhD thesis! Every year as I meet these kids, I am amazed at their talent and the breadth of the mind-boggling science projects they have submitted.

We have a project underway in one of the most besieged regions of the world. In southern Israel, there is a community called Sderot. Missile attacks have been constant there since October 2000. I’m not going to get into the politics of this situation. The point is, men, women and children are under constant threat of high-explosive warheads falling on their heads or their schools or their homes. I imagine the psychological distress Sderot people deal with every day as they anticipate the next missile attack and wonder in fear whether it will their family that loses a loved one.

This is the title of our most recent Intel Technology Journal, a quarterly online publication that discusses R&D and technology trends at Intel. The February issue highlights a few of our environmental initiatives from products and manufacturing to an interesting article on green homeowners and sustainable living. Give it a quick look and would welcome your impressions.

Today, CRO published its annual “100 Best Corporate Citizens List” – and Intel was awarded the #1 spot. http://www.thecro.com/ So, why is this award so special to Intel?

Thanks to the laudable efforts of our team in Russia, three new ComSol projects are underway in that country. One of them has already gotten lots of media coverage in its region. It’s a WiMAX-based emergency response network that allows ambulances to transmit patient vital signs and other data enroute, in real time. The significant social impact from this project is time saved, lives saved: Emergency room teams can use this network to begin treatments the moment the patient arrives rather than choosing a treatment after the patient arrives.

After almost ten years at Intel, I have lost track of how many times I have heard the phrase “be and be perceived” in meetings and conference calls concerning our environmental and broader corporate social responsibility operations and reputation. For the most part, it has always seemed to me, Intel pays more attention to “being” a leader than “being perceived” as one. If you have to be imbalanced on this scale, that is the imbalance to strike from my perspective.

While out running errands one evening this week, I had the radio on – as usual. It’s either set between the local talk station and NPR. I might have been in my car for a total of 10 min, but picked up a portion of an interview on The World. Most of the time, the radio is just background conversation, but a few of the statements filtered through the endless “do list” in my mind and caused me to listen a little closer.

Ok, I didn’t blog about my visit whilst in country….long story. But know that the result of my week long visit to support my colleagues on the project emerging there was well worth the investment.
For one, I had the good fortune of meeting in person, One Global Economy President Moustafa Mourad. If you’ve read any of my blog posts, you know I’m a big fan of One Economy and that fandom spills over to OGE and Moustafa too. Moustafa is a knowledgeable gentleman who prefers suspenders and bow ties...
