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.

Speaker:
Dr. Dale Brill
About the Presentation:
Failure to keep pace with emerging technologies threatens to drive many companies—and careers—into obsolescence. Two particularly disruptive platforms serve as the foundation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution: 5G and distributed ledger technology (i.e., blockchain). Spend time with your peers and Dr. Dale Brill of the Orlando Economic Partnership to learn the fundamentals of both. Are you IR4 ready?
About the Speaker:
Dr. Dale Brill serves as Senior Vice President of Research and the Foundation for Orlando’s Future within the Orlando Economic Partnership. “The Partnership” serves as Central Florida’s catalyst driving regional economic prosperity. Before joining the Partnership, Dale served public and private sector clients for five years providing policy research and development as Founder and Obsessive Thinker for Thinkspot, a Floridabased consulting firm.
His self-described career-attention deficit disorder includes service as president of the Florida Chamber Foundation, the policy research and development division under the umbrella of the Florida Chamber of
Commerce. Dale’s public sector experience includes tenure as the Director of the Governor’s Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development under Governor Charlie Crist. Prior to being plucked from political obscurity, Dale served as Chief Marketing Officer for VISIT FLORIDA, during which the Sunshine State’s official tourism marketing corporation earned the “Atlas Award for Best Destination Branding” from the Association of Travel Marketing Executives. He also served as General Motor’s first Dean of e-Commerce and as a Global Business Leader for General Motors-Europe.
Dale has been recognized by the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI) as one of the Top 25 Most Extraordinary Minds and selected among the inaugural class of Fast Company Magazine’s “Fast 50 Innovators.”
