PPI recently participated and was one of the sponsors of the annual INCOSE International Symposium 2021, over 17th – 22nd July. As always, it was a great pleasure to be part of this rich event. PPI was well represented at the INCOSE IS 2021, with five of our team members participating over July 19-23, 2021, along with 736 other registered professionals.
PPI Managing Director Robert Halligan also presented “3 SE Tools That Can Change a Company” on the 19th of July. INCOSE asked Robert and a group of Fellows to undertake an effort to identify heuristics useful in systems engineering today. The panel “Heuristics for Systems Engineering: Useful or Dangerous? Outdated or Enduring?” covered various viewpoints on this question, addressing insights and nuances that make the difference between a useful heuristic and one that may be dangerous to apply.
