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.

Innovate or Die: The Imperative for Change - Tech Presentation by Jon Clauss
Location:
Phone (Audio): 1-866-398-2885,,4128671535#
Webex (Video/Audio) - https://incose.webex.com/join/webex18
Meeting number: 252 846 155
Abstract: The need for change and innovation are often talked about like they are ‘a good idea’, or somehow optional. History shows that companies that fail to innovate or evolve with the changing times will soon cease to exist or exist in the same form. This presentation will explore the history of Lockheed Martin and other cases, to show this and serve as a ‘call to action’ to transform how we do business and drive us to innovate.
Bio: Jon Clauss is a Purdue Graduate (‘85 A&AE), Lockheed Martin Fellow and has been at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics – Fort Worth and legacy companies for 30+ years. He started his career in the Flight Controls area and has worked the integration of system including the F-111, F-16, X-35 and F-35. He was won 3 AeroStar awards (2 team, 1 individual). His current work focus is architecture, systems engineering and integration of the F-35 with off-board systems and the F-35 Enterprise. He has presented papers/presentations on topics as diverse as; the value of Hardware in The Loop Simulation, F-35 Model Based System Engineering Lessons Learned, and System Architecture Lessons Learned from On-Line Gaming, and Millers’ Law. He is a Senior Member of AIAA, a member of the International Council of System Engineering (INCOSE) and a member of the Association of Airworthiness Professionals (AAP).
