Presentation offers a deeper understanding of systems engineering principles
Winchester, VA (PRWEB) August 25, 2011
“Systems engineering is often seen as a job description,” says the paper’s co-author, Paul AmRhein, “a role that applies only to large and complex projects or programs. But we contend that systems engineering is not merely a project implementation discipline, but a perspective to enable anyone to better understand and address any situation, regardless of one’s technical background.”
This unique look into Systems Engineering uses relevant examples to evaluate the professional philosophy that move systems engineering to the forefront of success in any endeavor. “Systems engineers approach any situation using basic principles that shape outcomes. These principles are the foundations of systems engineering,” AmRhein continues. “Systems engineers tend to see everything in a larger context. We call this ‘Systems Thinking.’”
“It’s a whole different vantage point,” he says. “Systems Engineers look at how things work together to optimize the total result rather than optimizing individual components. In other words,” AmRhein continues, “they see the beach, not just the grains of sand.”
The presentation and accompanying paper will be available on the Strategy Bridge website following the NDIA conference in October.
