Get Engaged

• At IW2007 closing plenary, reports from 31
  working groups and initiatives were reviewed
  (copy provided to Francis Peter)
• This is where the rubber meets the road for
  technical activities, and where engagement and
  satisfaction are available in almost any domain
  or interest area

13
Long Range Planning Foundations

• Vision 2020, with version 2.0 in external review,
  represents a carefully vetted description of the
  systems engineering profession
• Advancing the profession delivers value to all
  stakeholders - individual, corporate societal
• A community vision and the advancement of the
  profession requires a collaborative approach,
  internally externally
• Target planning horizon 2025

14
Other Factors

• Systems engineering application is rapidly
  expanding on both geographic and domain
  dimensions
• Achieving our vision requires a foundation in
  theory, art, practice and cultural context
• Agility and value delivery are critical to
  INCOSEs mission success

15
Initial Results

• The workshop has generated a variety of options
  for INCOSEs future data is still being
  transcribed
• Options will be rated against vision, mission
  goals
• Member engagement and value delivered are key
  discriminators
• A substantial degree of alignment exists along
  these options, with a number of key decisions
  still open
• Many of you will be asked for input in the coming
  weeks and months

16
Timeline

• Input from stakeholders on options next 2 months
  (initial round) and beyond
• Synthesis of options and stakeholder inputs
  March-April
• 5 year LRP development April BOD
• Communication of 5 year strategy and projections
  IS07

17
Future Directions INCOSE will be

• More international and more broadly international
• More involved in collaborations with other
  organizations on a global scale
• Focusing on value propositions for all
  stakeholders
• Creating richer electronic collaboration tools
  and environments
