Join us for our 8 July 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:

Presenter: Richard Beasley

Topic: Requirements Practice

Abstract: In this talk Richard Beasley will review various aspects of Requirements practice.  This will essentially look at Systems Engineering from a requirements-filtered lens – looking at requirements as a key, foundational aspect of Systems Engineering, aspects of requirements elicitation including various common pitfalls and misunderstandings, and the integration of requirements understanding into the wider Systems Engineering information management and iterative approach. 

Bio: Richard Beasley retired last year from Rolls-Royce where he was an Associate Fellow of Systems Engineering, leading the Systems Engineering capability.  He has been involved in INCOSE since 2007, serving as the UK chapter president 2014-16, INCOSE Director of Services 2022-2024, was one of original author team for SEBok, a lead author of the INCOSE Competency framework, and currently leads the International Working Group on “Embedding Systems Engineering Into Organizations”.  He has written many papers for INCOSE International Symposia over the years, a number of which form the basis for this talk.
