INCOSE Systems Exchange Café - Oak Tree Café
The next meeting will be on the 27th September at 0800 BST, talking about how Systems Engineers should engage outside of the "SE Silo".
Systems Engineers can be accused of too often talking to themselves, which for a "transdisciplinary and Integrative" discipline is not ideal. The discussion at this café will look to explore experiences when other disciplines either have, or should have been engaged with, or discuss which disciplines should be engaged with and why
Please come with personal examples of successful or unsuccessful engagements outside SE, or who should be engaged with (or not) - and please contribute to the online discussion (before or after café) SE interactions with non-SE disciplines discussion
All are welcome
Future events are described below
Finally - if anyone would like to take over as "coordinator" of the Oak Café (in 2024) please contact richard.beasley@incose.net to discuss.
We look forward to your attendance and contribution to our discussions
