The INCOSE Embedding Systems Engineering into Organizations (ESEIO) Working Group has identified a plethora of roles and organizational contexts that are candidates for receiving a systems engineering (SE) description and value proposition, which is a starting point for introducing SE into an organization. The INCOSE SE in Early-Stage R&D Working Group has developed a draft framework to guide SE practices and deliverables using a risk-informed graded approach; a value proposition for stakeholders/roles is one of the key facets of the framework. • A role exists in its organizational context • No single description of SE will fit all roles or even a specific role in different organizational contexts These two working groups partnered to develop a process to determine a relevant SE description for a role in a given context. This presentation will briefly summarize the working groups and introduce the process for describing SE, tailored for a specific audience and context.
