Chapter Events

Join us for our 8 July 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:

Presenter: Richard Beasley

Topic: Requirements Practice

Abstract: In this talk Richard Beasley will review various aspects of Requirements practice. This will essentially look at Systems Engineering from a requirements-filtered lens – looking at requirements as a key, foundational aspect of Systems Engineering, aspects of requirements elicitation including various common pitfalls and misunderstandings, and the integration of requirements understanding into the wider Systems Engineering information management and iterative approach.

Bio: Richard Beasley retired last year from Rolls-Royce where he was an Associate Fellow of Systems Engineering, leading the Systems Engineering capability. He has been involved in INCOSE since 2007, serving as the UK chapter president 2014-16, INCOSE Director of Services 2022-2024, was one of original author team for SEBok, a lead author of the INCOSE Competency framework, and currently leads the International Working Group on “Embedding Systems Engineering Into Organizations”. He has written many papers for INCOSE International Symposia over the years, a number of which form the basis for this talk.

INCOSE Set to Host International Workshop for Systems Engineers 4-Day Workshop
Brings Together Diverse Range of Engineers to Collaborate

SAN DIEGO (Jan 8, 2020) - The Annual INCOSE International Workshop (IW2020), scheduled for January 25th through 28th in Torrance, California, provides an invaluable opportunity for systems engineers to share and network with fellow systems thinkers.

The International Workshop brings together systems engineers from all levels and backgrounds to engage in working and outreach sessions over four days. The International Workshop includes an agenda focused on informing, collaborating, and problem-solving. There is something for everyone, whatever your level of expertise.

Working sessions bring together experts to focus on improving and completing working group products. Outreach sessions are ideal for attendees with little or no previous exposure to working groups and can serve as an entry point for deeper working group involvement.

Featured in 2020 again will be the Model-Based Systems Engineering Initiative, that brings systems engineers together from across all of INCOSE’s working groups to focus on current practices, advancements, and collaborative efforts across the systems modeling community. Visit the INCOSE website to learn more.

This year’s Foundation Soiree allows attendees to learn about INCOSE while networking and tasting wines from around the globe. At the Closing Plenary and MarketPlace, attendees will hear updates on the key outcomes from IW2020, learn about the year ahead for INCOSE, and report on working group progress.

These meetings are INCOSE’s premier forum for the exchange of ideas and for helping to move both INCOSE and systems engineering forward.

The International Workshop, offering networking and collaboration opportunities for systems engineers, is open to all INCOSE members. Non-members are encouraged to join INCOSE before the event. The event will be on Saturday, January 25th through Tuesday, January 28th, at the Torrance Marriott Redondo Beach – 3635 Fashion Way – Torrance, California 90503. Visit this link to register.
