Join us for our 9 April 2024 Chapter meeting featuring:
Main Presentation: "Risk Management and Systems Engineering: The Shaping of New and Future Activities of the INCOSE Risk Management WG", by Jack Stein and Bob Parro
Abstract:
Systems engineers as individuals, and the field of systems engineering as a whole, are faced with an enormous challenge. Increasing system complexity, and ever more rapid and unpredictable developments and changes in technology, and in the socio-technical environments in which we will engineer and use the systems of the future, are creating levels of uncertainty, risk, and opportunity never before encountered.
In response, the practice of risk (and opportunity) management, in general and specifically as related to systems engineering, are undergoing significant change.
This presentation will inform attendees of recent changes in the practice of risk (and opportunity) management, and will provide an overview of INCOSE Risk Management Working Group (RMWG) current and future planned activities. The session will include an open Q&A segment, and is intended to be engaging two-way exchange of information, thoughts and ideas, aimed at directing, prioritizing, and improving the activities and work products of the INCOSE RMWG.
Bio:
The INCOSE Risk Management Working Group (WG) was established in 1998, making it one of INCOSE’s longest running working groups. Currently, the WG has just over 120 members world-wide. The size and scope of activities of the WG are expected to increase as fundamental changes in the concepts, principals and practices of risk management defined in the 1st (2009) edition of overarching international risk standard ISO 31000, Risk Management — Principles and guidelines, are implemented in an increasing number of organizations and systems engineering projects and programs. These changes are reflected in ISO/IEC/IEEE 16085:2021, Systems and software engineering — Life cycle processes — Risk management, and in the 5th Edition of the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook.
Bob Parro and Jack Stein share in the chair-person duties of the Risk Management WG, making sure the WG is represented at monthly TechOps meetings and Annual International Workshops (IWs). As WG co-chairs, Jack and Bob have co-authored the Risk Management sections of both the 4th and 5th editions of the INCOSE SE Handbook. Together with WG member and standards specialist Paul Heininger, they represented INCOSE and the WG in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 16085:2021 work.
Jack Stein resides in Michigan and is a Past President of the INCOSE Michigan Chapter. Bob Parro resides in the Chicago area and is a Past President of the Chicagoland Chapter. They are both strong advocates of WG-Chapter interaction.
Upcoming INCOSE Events
10th Israeli International Conference on Systems Engineering
Herzliya , Israel
Smart Engineering for Smart Systems
The 10th Israeli International Conference on Systems Engineering – Smart Engineering for Smart Systems
Mar 26, 2019 – Mar 28, 2019
Herzliya, Israel
The Digital Revolution, aka the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is happening around us and the systems developed in the world today become smarter and more flexible and possess a greater variety of capabilities. Smart Engineering for Smart Systemsis the title of INCOSE_IL 2019 - the tenth international conference of the Israeli Association of Systems Engineers, which will be conducted on March 26-27 in Herzliya, Israel. The main goal of this conference is to focus on the increased sophistication and capabilities of both the systems and the systems engineers who design and construct them.
The INCOSE_IL conference, which is conducted every second year, has become the main event of systems engineering in Israel, which attracts not only hundreds of systems engineers, but is rather appraised and appreciated by the international communities, such as INCOSE and IEEE. Senior representatives of these organization will participate in the conference. Thank to the support of Gordon Center for Systems Engineering in the Technion and the sponsorship of Israeli industry and academia, we succeeded to build an agenda which is rich in contents, up to date and inspiring.
The first day will include a guest talk by Prof. Edward F. Crawley from MIT, 15 sessions in five tracks which will include talks and panels in a variety of topics, a professional exhibition and a concluding panel dedicated to the contribution of women to systems engineering.
The second day will include three seminars, delivered by international experts, on topics of systems architecture, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and the incorporation of advanced technologies, such as AI, IoT and cloud computing, in system design.
On Thursday, March 28th, we will host our precious international guests for a visit to the Israeli industry and academia.
Please consider this as a personal invitation to participate in this interesting conference. Looking forward to meeting you at the conference,
Prof. Amir Tomer
Kinneret College on the Sea of Galilee
INCOSE_IL Chair
