INCOSE Webinar 181: How Systems Engineering Can Save Entrepreneurship

DATE: Wednesday, 7 May 2025

TIME: 11:00am-12:00pm EST (15:00-16:00 UTC)

How Systems Engineering Can Save Entrepreneurship

But today’s dominant “lean startup” innovation paradigm adhered to by entrepreneurs, investors, and corporations–—one centered around building minimum viable products based on customer needs, testing and iterating the offering live in market to prove out customer interest, and then testing and pivoting the business model until profitability is discovered—systematically violates the core principles of systems engineering. In doing so, it bakes in costly architectural flaws that foreclose any viable path to profitability and compounds the problem by trying to “build the plane while flying it.” The results prove it out: today, less than 1% of new market ventures reach profitability, and they fail at a great expense of time and money.
