The Latest Chapter Happenings
Dr Joseph E. Kasser explains how when systems thinking is applied to systems engineering, the artificial complexity is stripped away, the myths are identified for what they are, and systems thinking is shown to be a powerful tool that is used by many outstanding systems engineers. This talk provides a perspective of systems engineering that you have probably never seen before and encourages you to think about systems engineering in new ways.
Upcoming Events to Consider

Our 2021 INCOSE-CC president-elect Dr. David Flanigan, CSEP , discusses how an SE should have a principal technical (vertical) skill while able to explore different insights and perspectives as the (horizontal) connection to other skills.
Did you miss out last month?
Mr. Zane Scott explains that there must be good, sound engineering paired with solid, intentional systems thinking for us to have a solid foundation for what we do as Systems Engineers. Too many times we take systems engineering to be a process - a checklist of activities we can do that will aggregate to “systems engineering.” Throw in “models” and we get “model-based systems engineering.” Without the understanding and application of fundamental first principles we can walk through the steps of the Systems Engineering processes and miss the real rewards. Mr. Scott explores the first principles of the systems thinking leg of systems engineering.
