How can INCOSE ensure SE’s Future Relevance

The future value of systems engineering will be measured by its contribution to INCOSE’s vision of “a better world through a systems approach.” To stay relevant, systems engineering must expand its scope beyond the technical realm by addressing today’s most pressing and complex problems, which span technical, social, and ecological domains. This paper builds on our previous work as the Bridge Team, in which we proposed an the evolving architecture of the systems engineering discipline, detailing how it can maintain its value by effectively engaging in eco-socio-technical challenges. Here we propose collaborative strategies with other disciplines to enhance and broaden its foundational base, which is crucial for realizing its potential as a transdisciplinary field in an increasingly complex world.This presentation will be of interest those who care about the future of SE and how INCOSE can contribute to sustaining it, and so maintain its future position as a pre-eminent systems discipline.
