Great Plains Chapter

Welcome to the Great Plains Chapter

The Great Plains Chapter of INCOSE draws membership from the state of Kansas and the Oklahoma City area.  The Great Plains leadership team is in both Wichita, Kansas, and Oklahoma City.  Events take place virtually to make it possible for all members of the chapter and interested guests to participate from one of the central locations in Wichita and Oklahoma City or from anywhere.

The INCOSE Great Plains Chapter was established in 2011 in Wichita, Kansas by a group of people primarily from Boeing and Textron Aviation.  In the 2015 time frame, Boeing closed operations in Wichita, and several members transferred to Oklahoma City.  Since that time, the Great Plains Chapter has hosted almost all meetings (tours being an exception) on line so that everyone can participate.  

We normally meet in Wichita at the National Center for Aviation Training which is now part of Wichita State University.  The Oklahoma City branch of our chapter has found a home at the Engineering and Design Professional Center.  With a virtual component to our meeting every time, we have been perfectly positioned to hold virtual meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Agile Systems Engineering – A Primer on Eight Core Aspects

Abstract: INCOSE’s Vision 2035 calls for action on nine system engineering challenges. This presentation addresses one of those challenges directly: “Systems engineering anticipates and effectively responds to an increasingly dynamic and uncertain environment.” Agile Systems Engineering, by definition, addresses this challenge. A primer on eight core aspects, discussed as behaviors in fulfillment of needs, will be shown to enable and amplify systems engineering agility.

Speaker: Rick Dove is an independent researcher, systems engineer, and project manager generally focused in the system security and system agility areas. He chairs the INCOSE working groups for System Security Engineering, and for Agile Systems and Systems Engineering. He is an INCOSE Fellow, and author of Response Ability – the Language, Structure, and Culture of the Agile Enterprise.
