INCOSE Systems Exchange Café - Oak Tree Café

The next Oak café will be on Wednesday 28th September 2022 at 8.00am BST. 

Everyone is welcome

The topic at this meeting will be MBSE (a subject we appear not to have discussed before!).  See below for longer timetable of topics.

On 28th September we will start talking about Model Based Systems Engineering - in particular focusing on
- the purpose of MBSE
- the opportunities it presents
- the barriers and blockers to its implementation and use

This will start with a short reflective round table, and then open into a more general discussion. 
Please come and contribute - especially share your MBSE experiences - good and bad!

On 12th October (the next meeting) the conversation about MBSE will continue - focusing more on how to make use of MBSE, where it sits and contributes to the Systems Engineering process flow and how to extract maximum value from it
