Welcome

Welcome to the home of the Cleveland-Northern Ohio chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering. Our chapter began organizing activities during the latter part of 2007, and received charter status from INCOSE during January 2008. Consistent with the aims and charter of the INCOSE parent organization, the chapter leadership seeks to attract members with similar interests and capabilities in addressing complex system problems. We seek to attract participation from the entire northern Ohio region, and build a robust organization that interacts in practical ways with local industry, government, and academia.

Our initial focus - in addition to administrative matters such as bylaws, working organization, and membership - is to create awareness in our region of the importance and benefits that Systems Engineering, Systems Thinking, and applied Systems Methods can help solve a broad range of enterprise and societal challenges.  Our chapter was involved in the formation of a newly created working group - titled the Power and Energy Systems Working Group (PESWG), which seeks to deploy the best system capabilities and technology to addressing alternative energy systems.  Please visit our Purpose, Objectives and Mission page (link) to review the specific aims and strategies set forth for the chapter's future.

On behalf of the Cleveland- Northern Ohio chapter, let me extend a hearty welcome to all who might perceive relevant interest and seek common cause with the aims of our chapter.    Come join us at any of our chapter meetings and activities.  (calendar link)
