International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) San Francisco Bay Area Chapter
November 18, 2003, Tuesday Evening Monthly Program
"INCOSE and the Practice of SE in the Federal Government "
Dr. John Snoderly
INCOSE President
Program Abstract
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A systems approach could help provide answers to world technology needs. This talk explores the competencies INCOSE and its members offer, and how INCOSE is
leveraging these to provide value to its members and to organizations including the U.S. Federal government. John will forecast where
INCOSE should be in 2032, and how to get there from here. He will highlight some exciting new developments in INCOSE, including the soon-to-be-released
Process Asset Library (built on PAL technology provided by Lockheed Martin),
and the progress of Systems Engineer certification. He'll touch briefly on international participation in INCOSE, and then explore in some detail the challenges
facing the U.S. Federal government which systems engineering can help address.
These challenges include recent mission failures and program problems in the USAF, the NRO, and NASA. He will discuss initiatives in several different
parts of the U.S. government and DoD to revitalize the practice of systems engineering.
Come listen to our current President of INCOSE, who is an informative and entertaining speaker. Then share your own ideas and thoughts on INCOSE.
