Jacksonville, FL, USAComplex Systems WGComplex Systems WGCharter: We focus on enlarging the intersection of Complex Systems Science and Systems Engineering, focusing on knowledge that is not addressed in current systems engineering documentation such as standards, handbooks, and textbooks. ...We want to develop useful products that will help INCOSE members and their organizations perform systems engineering better, based on knowledge from these sciences. Although complex analysis is important, the goal is to make a difference in synthesis (creation of new systems) as well.

Lean PM Charter



- UNDER REVISION to align with long-term PMI-INCOSE strategy -

Our goal is to apply lean thinking to improve the integration between systems engineering and program management on engineering programs. This will enable programs to achieve cost, schedule and performance goals while becoming more responsive to change at the same time. To this end, we bring together systems engineering, program management and lean management expertise and operate as a joint working group between INCOSE, PMI and MIT.

It is our goal to strengthen the practice of Systems Engineering (SE) by exploring and capturing the synergy between traditional SE and Lean. To do this, we will apply the wisdom of Lean Thinking into SE practices integrating people, processes, and tools for the most effective delivery of value to program stakeholders; formulate the Body of Knowledge of Lean SE; develop supplements to the INCOSE SE Handbook (and other such manuals) with Lean Enablers for SE; and develop and disseminate training materials and publications on Lean SE within the INCOSE community, industry, and academia

Power & Energy Systems WGPower & Energy Systems WGThe PESWG Charter isto facilitate a “systems engineering approach” to the analysis, decision support, and future development of effective energy solutions.

Purpose is to direct expertise and a “systems” focus to support decision makers in the critical challenges of developing future energy systems that meet stakeholder needs for safety, effectiveness, cost, and availability. The principal means of approaching these challenges will be to combine the disciplined system lifecycle methodologies evolved in INCOSE with sophisticated modeling tools, guided by Energy systems subject matter experts toward desired outcomes.
