Oak Tree Café

INCOSE Oak SE Cafe

Our next INCOSE Systems Exchange Café Oak Tree on the 8th November at 0800 GMT. Please note that UK time has changed away from daylight saving, so there may be a change in your area if you have not had a similar change! 

The subject for discussion at this meeting will be a review of the INCOSE international symposium held in Hawai'i (and virtually) in July 2023.

The symposium event schedule is still accessible IS2023 - Event Schedule (incose.org), and the proceedings are accessible (to INCOSE members) via Content Library, Papers & Presentations (incose.org)

If you attended please come ready to share what your favourite items (or take away points) where and why - to share with those not there.  If you did not attend please either come and listen to what people heard (which might prompt you to review the proceedings after) or look at the event schedule and ask about any item that particularly interested you.

The next session (22nd November) with continue the conference "retrospective" session asking for people to share which conference papers (not just INCOSE international symposium) have had the most impact on your Systems Engineering views / practice - and you would recommend other read. 

Come along and join  the conversation and share your personal insights towards expanding our collective understanding of systems concepts and the application of systems engineering.

Please contribute to the online discussion (before or post the discussion on the INCOSE Yammer thread) - INCOSE IS 23 (Hawai'i) highlights

All are welcome

Future events are described below

Finally - if anyone would like to take over as "coordinator" of the Oak Café (in 2024) please contact richard.beasley@incose.net to discuss.
