 “Increasing the Value of Systems Engineering’s Portfolio to Our Stakeholders”

This Mini-Conference will address a “self-examination” of Systems Engineering through presentations and discussions addressing (1) the ‘goodness’ of the systems engineering portfolio (the collection of tools, processes and techniques for effectively implementing systems engineering on a program or project), (2) methods to increase the effectiveness of our portfolio, and (3) thoughts on how we can increase our customers’ demand for our portfolio. The intent underlying the theme is to capture the essence of the INCOSE mission and goals, and presentations and panel discussions will cover an array of relevant systems engineering domains and issues.

Keynote Speaker:

Dr. Jack Murphy, VP of Systems Engineering and System of Systems Engineering and VP of Mission Assurance, Boeing Defense Systems
