SUMMARY:UNISA Systems Engineering Talk Series - Enhancing Enterprise Architecture with Resilience Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This event is based in South Australia and organised by the University of South Australia\, it will be available to SESA members across the country online. \n \nJoin us with LCDR Jnitova who will present on enhancing enterprise architecture with resilience perspective. \nThe research literature has found current Enterprise Architecture (EA) methods are limited in dealing with uncertainty and pathologies of complex systems to enable design and operation of a resilient enterprise. To some extent\, EAs’ approaches persist in applying textbook plans and activities in the face of mounting evidence of changing circumstances and the challenges of uncertainty. They rely on a qualitative shift in assessment\, priorities\, or response strategy\, that often lead to a ‘failure to adapt adequately.’ To address this gap in EA resilience representation\, we have combined several prior research proposals to produce a wholistic Department of Defence Architecture Framework (DoDAF) resilience architecture and enhanced that with our original underpinning resilience framework. Despite still being in an ongoing major case study\, our comprehensive resilience representation shows promise of assisting all enterprise stakeholders with adapting this representation to their capability systems. Doing so will better incorporate resilience considerations in capability systems’ design and likely help capability stakeholders to evolve capability systems with appropriate levels of resilience throughout their life cycle. \nLCDR Jnitova is a PhD student in the School of Engineering and Information Technology\, University of New South Wales\, in Canberra\, with her research project focused on organisational resilience. Her current role as the OIC Training Support and Governance provides an ample opportunity to support the study. In 2016 LCDR Jnitova has completed with excellence a Master of Systems Engineering at UNSW@ADFA. She also graduated from the UNSW@ADFA with a Master of Business; from the UTS with a Graduate Diploma in Education; and from the Byelorussian State University with a Bachelor of Chemistry and Biology. She has authored and co-authored a number of journal articles and conference papers in organisational and workforce planning and management contexts. \nDetails to join are provided below: \n  \nWhen: Wednesday 18 August 5:30 pm AEST \nTopic: UNISA Systems Engineering Talk Series \nTime: Aug 18\, 2021 05:00 PM Adelaide\nJoin from a PC\, Mac\, iOS or Android: https://unisa.zoom.us/j/86519109748?pwd=Zi9mSUhLN0tSdWRya2dvby9kZ0FPUT09\n    Password: 899351\n\nOr iPhone one-tap (Australia Toll):  +61280152088\,86519109748#\n\nOr Telephone:\n    Dial: +61 2 8015 2088\n    Meeting ID: 865 1910 9748\n    International numbers available: https://unisa.zoom.us/u/kbUflAQ7mZ\n\nOr a H.323/SIP room system:\n    Dial: 86519109748@zoom.aarnet.edu.au\n    or SIP:86519109748@zmau.us\n    or 103.122.166.55 (Australia)\n    Meeting ID: 86519109748\n    H323/SIP Password: 899351\n\nOr Skype for Business (Lync):\n    SIP:86519109748.899351@lync.zoom.us\n

SUMMARY:UniSA presents ISO15704:2019/GERAM  - A generalised architecture framework for enterprises\, systems and software
DESCRIPTION:This event is based in South Australia and organised by the University of South Australia\, it will be available to SESA members across the country online. \nJoin us with Peter Bernus who will introduce the GERAM framework and how it can be used in conjunction with systems engineering standards\, like ISO15288\, and the ISO42000 series. ISO15704 was originally developed by the IFIP-IFAC Task Force in the 1990s\, and is now the top level standard for the architecture of smart manufacturing. \nSome important characteristics of GERAM include its Modelling Framework\, relevant for Model-based Systems Engineering practitioners\, and the ability to differentiate between life cycle and life history\, the latter allowing the temporal aspect of model evolution to be made explicit.\n\nPeter will further illustrate the discussion with case studies\, including the use for architecting enterprise networks and virtual enterprises. Mappings between GERAM and popular Architecture Description Frameworks (DoDAF\, NAF\, Zachman\, etc.) will also be briefly discussed.\n\n\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor Peter Bernus\, Griffith University\, Institute for Integrated and Intelligent Systems (IIIS)\nhttp://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/~bernus/\n\nDr Bernus has worked internationally on various aspects of enterprise integration as researcher\, consultant and project leader for Industry\, Government and Defence (ADF). His special interests include the theoretical foundations of inter- and intra-organisational management\, global enterprise networks\, dynamic virtual enterprises\, and the translation of these into strategies\, architectures and principles for the management of complexity and evolution of large enterprise networks\, complete industries\, or innovation ecosystems.\n\n\nJoin via Zoom: https://unisa.zoom.us/j/85807885847?pwd=YVBRWmR3a25iUnlmU0FlVkE0OVpMQT09\nPassword: 504200\nPlease note that the event time is shown for Adelaide time zone – don’t forget to update for your time zone as necessary.

SUMMARY:Risk Based Contract Management - Quality\, Verification and Certification
DESCRIPTION:Join us for presentations from the Netherlands and Australia from a project director and a senior system engineering practitioner\, both exploring what works and where improvements can be made. \n\n\nThis is a rare joint event between the Systems Engineering Society of Australia and Young INCOSE The Netherlands. \nThis session involves two exciting presentations from the Netherlands and Australia; from an international transport project director and from a Dutch senior system engineering practitioner\, both providing their unique perspectives as to what works and where improvements can be made in relation to risk-based contract management & systems engineering. \nMany transport projects struggle with systems engineering\, independent certification and how these processes are used efficiently whilst maximising the benefit to the project and in the end the taxpayer. Each project seems to apply these processes differently; often requiring a lot of effort and not always a lot of benefit. \nIn the Netherlands systems engineering has been successfully integrated in the infrastructure sector from the early phases of the project lifecycle up to the implementation by the major contract organisations. In Australia\, rolling stock projects have the most mature application of systems engineering in the transport sector. \nThis is followed by an online christmas networking event with breakout sessions. \nSpeakers:\nBart van Luling | Co-Owner Dutch Boosting Group \n \nBart is an experienced systems engineer in infrastructure\, airport development and the energy sector and co-owner of the Dutch Boosting Group (DBG). In addition to coaching project teams in applying systems engineering and contract management\, Bart also provides courses in systems engineering and risk-based contract management and he accompanies the implementation of these ‘ways of working’ in organizations such as Schiphol Airport\, Shell\, TenneT Transmission Network Operator\, the Municipality of Amsterdam and several water authorities. Before DBG\, he worked at the Ministry of Infrastructure and had a key role in implementing systems engineering at the Dutch Roads and Water Infrastructure Authority\, Rijkswaterstaat. \nBart’s focus is to get grip on complex projects and minimize the failure costs for organizations a by always doing the right things and doing the things right. The systems engineering approach has become a natural way of working for Bart. His goal is to use his experience and spread his knowledge to help organizations and project teams to achieve optimum results for their needs and ambitions by using systems engineering. \nGuy Collishaw | Project Director for the Regional Rail Project at Transport for NSW \n \nGuy Collishaw is a Senior Engineering and Program Director with proven track record for leading the delivery of multi-billion dollar rail transport programs in the private and government sector in Australia\, the UK\, Germany and Sweden. \nMotivated\, passionate and committed about creating value for customers\, engaging collaboratively with the full range of stakeholders and leading large teams to consistently inspire and deliver complex projects on budget\, quality and time commitments to make a positive and meaningful contribution to business success. \n\n

However\, the satisfaction of these non-functional requirements has become of greater importance than even before for contemporary Systems of Systems (SoS). \nIn addition\, there is an increasingly accepted consensus that the systems of concern need to be considered as dynamically evolving socio-technical Systems of Systems. Examples include critical infrastructure\, space and defence systems\, and the systems that conceive\, design\, deploy and support them. \nThere are two questions that this Workshop will concentrate on: \n\ni) How to identify\, prioritise\, and define measures for these non-functional requirements (NFRs)?\nii) What methodology(ies) can be used to design for these ilities?\n\nA proposed focus of the Workshop is on NFRs of notable contemporary significance such as resilience\, supportability and agility. \n  \nTitle: SE Pipelines & Careers\nAbstract: Where do Systems Engineers come from and how can we ensure that we are developing a pipeline for our future workforce needs?  This workshop will introduce the INCOSE Competency Framework and discuss where Australia sits in the SE World Wide Directory.   Join us as we consider the demand for Systems Engineers\, share any good practise in our organisations\, and unpick the current and future challenges?    The education sector is undergoing widespread disruption\, is this now an opportunity to rethink how we deliver learning experiences and build better engagements with industry?  Help us to identify a roadmap for how Australian academia\, training providers and industry can work together to build a pipeline that will develop competent systems engineers. \n  \nTitle: Operational Concept Development\, a simple case study\nThis workshop will work thorough the development of an operational concept for a standard level crossing system. We will link the requirements of ISO 15288 and ISO 29148 to the OCD process and use some typical SE techniques such as Use Case Analysis\, Functional Flow Analysis and Scenario Analysis to achieve our results. \n  \nTitle: 5G – Accelerating OT/IT Convergence\n5G is an emerging technology that has been accompanied by much hype (from promises of multi-gigabit bandwidth and ultra-reliable low-latency communication to conspiracies over COVID-19). At the same time\, 5G is expected to accelerate the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) with applications that include rail signalling\, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and autonomous vehicles. The reality is that the 5G standards are in ongoing development\, mmWave frequencies are not scheduled to be auctioned in Australia until 2021\, and the transformative effects of 5G are still largely speculative. This panel will explore cybersecurity and systems engineering concerns related to 5G\, with a particular focus on private mobile networks. \n  \nTitle: Maritime Capability Sustainment Panel\nSystems Engineering within the Maritime Sustainment sector of defence has long been driven by the original MIL-STDs and the EIA-632 Systems Engineering processes however this sector has seen a significant change of approach at the Design Assurance level stimulated by the Rizzo Report and the First Principles Review.  Now with the Defence Seaworthiness Management System (DSwMS) and the productivity and performance based contracting (PPBC) arrangements in place has the underpinning Systems Engineering principles or processes changed or are these too ingrained in culture to adapt to the evolving industry. And with Digital Engineering (eg Digital Twins) and the exponential growth of ‘Big Data’ and ‘machine learning’ are the Systems Engineering practices keeping pace or waiting for the next generation of Maritime Capability to come out of the National Naval Shipbuilding Enterprise… \n  \nTuesday 27th October\nTitle: Capability Development and Management\nCapability within the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is defined far more broadly than the achievement of a business outcome and is inclusive of all the Fundamental Inputs into Capability elements that enable or enact the Capabilities’ effects.  In the ever evolving context of Joint Force Design and with the guidance of the Force Structure Plan\, now more than ever there is a need to model or otherwise capture the key parameters and outcome measures (or more specifically Measures of Effectiveness) of any given Capability required or acquired in support of the Force Elements.  With the exponential growth of the digital era and the associated interconnectedness of all ADF Capabilities\, it is imperative that the Capability Managers understand the ripple effects and the superposition potential of all Capability decisions to remain superior to any adversary\, who would procure the same underpinning technologies.  What can Systems Engineering offer to support this need and how can it be promoted/demonstrated to those able to introduce it to the ADF is the focus of this discussion. \n\nTitle: Human-Systems Integration: Where is the Human in System Resilience?\nAbstract: Human-Systems Integration is a key speciality engineering activity within Systems Engineering\, it is transdisciplinary\, cutting across technology\, people and organisation.  HSI considers the integration of various domains or perspectives (e.g. human-centred design\, personnel\, competency\, training\, HF engineering\, occupational health and safety\, organisational systems\, etc) but also the integration of these viewpoints within the broader set of SE activities.  The Australian bushfire and pandemic events of 2019/2020 have highlighted the need for a better understanding of the resilience of the systems that enable society and our sustainability.  For Human-Systems Integrators\, our contemporary challenges revolve around the implications of such adverse events alongside the rapid pace of adoption of disruptive technologies/complex systems and digital engineering.  In SE\, HSI has evolved from what was initially a defence acquisition process focussed on usability\, to a field that encompasses the products\, services and complex socio-technical systems from a range of domains and industries across their whole system lifecycles.  Join us at this workshop as we discuss how HSI is evolving and consider the current and future HSI challenges in systems resilience. \nThis workshop will have two main foci.  The first part of the workshop will focus on the ongoing work of the INCOSE HSI Working Group and will include dissemination of the INCOSE definition of HSI\, the revamp of the Usability/HSI chapter being produced for the updated SE Handbook and upcoming events.  The second part of the workshop will be guided brainstorming and discussions on identifying the challenges for HSI in the resilience of critical infrastructure systems.  The HSI workshop will be facilitated by Grace Kennedy from the SMART Infrastructure Facility (University of Wollongong)\, and member of the INCOSE HSI Working Group. \n  \nTitle: Maturity of SE in the Australian Transportation Sector; What’s the state of play\, Where are things going and What’s needed?\nPanellists: \n–  International: Anne O’Neil\, Systems Engineering Catalyst & Strategist \n– NSW: Andre Hefer\, A/Associate Executive Director\, Systems Engineering & Assurance at Sydney Metro \n– Victoria: Rob Scarbro\, Director Systems Integration\, Rail Projects Victoria \n– QLD or other state: tbc \nFacilitator: Ruben Welschen\, SESA Executive Committee\, Transport and Cities Domain Lead \nQuestions for this panel: \n\nLessons learned\, including from other geographic markets\nSE maturity of practice trends across the supply chain:\nstate/government bodies\nengineering design consultancies\nsystem suppliers / systems integrators\n\n  \nTitle: Developing capabilities for certification and guidelines for career planning for Early Career Systems Engineers\nThis panel is a forum for Early Career Systems Engineers (ECSE) to get an understanding of the INCOSE Certification and Engineers Australia Chartered Engineer and Registration programs. The aim is to outline the requirements for certification and identify the resources available to assist candidates in the planning of their career development activities. The information presented may be further developed into a SESA Guideline for SE Career Development by a working group formed at ASEW. \n  \n  \nWednesday 28th October\nTitle: Systems Thinking 101 – a tutorial and discussion forum on systems principles and concepts\nINCOSE recently revised its definition of Systems Engineering as “a transdisciplinary and integrative approach to enable the successful realization\, use\, and retirement of engineered systems\, using systems principles and concepts\, and scientific\, technological\, and management methods:”. This tutorial and discussion forum will focus specifically on the “systems principles and concepts” noted in the revised definition\, structured around three key perspectives (questions?) – Why\, What and How – at an introductory level. There will be opportunity for discussion through the session\, with time set aside at the end for Q&A\, feedback\, and discussion. \n  \nTitle: Project Management and SE Integration\nINCOSE has remained very active in the Technical Working Groups associated with integration of Program Management and Systems Engineering and SESA is keen to establish a local Australian TWG and proactively contribute to this important initiative. This workshop will provide a summary of recent international progress and an overview of the impending release of the PMBoK Ver 7 which has had a significant overhaul as a result of the PMI-INCOSE-MIT collaboration. The remainder of the workshop will explore how SESA could best support international efforts and brainstorm approaches to stimulate reform and change within Australian organisations. \n  \nTitle: Cyber Risk Assessment for Transport Operational Technology\nThe session will look at the differences that cyber security risk assessment between an IT and an OT with respect to safety related systems. The session will look at the risk assessment process and discuss some of the pit falls that can happen. Finally we will look at managing to balance risk\, to the delivery of a project into operation\, versus cyber compromises of the system as threat actors and vulnerabilities change throughout the life cycle of the project.” \n  \nTitle: Lessons learnt from COVID-19 for Healthcare Resilience\nThis workshop session will progress the SESA Healthcare Working Group activity preparing a paper for submission to government on how Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking can contribute to improved healthcare outcomes for Australians. This is being done in the light of the current pandemic and national responses that have ensued. Examples where a systems approach would improve outcomes are being collated. This activity fits in with the overall theme of national resilience. \nAndrew Madry will give an overview of the OMG groups BPM+Health COVID Response initiative he has been participating in. \n  \nThursday 29th October\nTitle: Assurance and Aerospace:\nAssurance has been well defined in the Aerospace sector for some time now; or has it? The concept of assurance within an aerospace context immediately conjures up ‘Safety Assurance’ and ‘Security Assurance’ and prescriptive standards but what about innovation and the basic foundation of ‘Capability Assurance’. With the recent release on the Boeing 737Max investigation it would appear that Organisations need to review their accountability structures and their business practices particularly in the area of innovation in design and how that may impact Assurance. This workshop will explore whether Systems Engineering is currently being effectively applied in supporting assurance of actual delivered capability and whether the Aero sector has any unique or specific needs around Capability Assurance (ie is it different to other complex systems of systems – Transport\, Telecoms\, Energy\, etc) and also what the future trends are and how Systems Engineering can best adapt or contribute to that future. \n  \nTitle: Towards Defining a Systems-based Resilience Framework\nThis year SESA has begun a new initiative\, a Resilient Systems Working Group that is tasked with focussing on defining a systems based resilience framework through exploring the needs and challenges in understanding the resilience of Australia as a system. This workshop will outline the discussions held so far\, and disseminate the group’s recent submission to the Australian government consultation paper on “Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Systems of National Significance”.  Join us as\, together\, we explore the challenges in our current climate and help us to build our definitions\, scrutinise the need\, and develop a conceptual framework for systems resilience in Australia.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: A Digital Approach to Developing a Heavy Rail Network – A Systems Engineering Victorian Case Study
DESCRIPTION:The Victorian heavy rail network is being significantly updated\, with $57 billion of transport capability improvement projects already underway and more investment to come. Running parallel projects which involve multiple government agencies and private operators requires a high level of communication to ensure everyone has the same understanding of the changing network configurations. \nThis risk is highlighted in VDAS\, the Office of Project Victoria Digital Asset Strategy (VDAS) which aims to achieve an efficient and sustainable physical asset delivery and improve whole-of-life management across Victoria. \nThe Department of Transport Systems Engineering team was an early actor in transitioning the engineering effort from textual form to data to help with the consistency issue and to ensure program/project benefits realisation\, assess the impact of change\, and improve risk management and ensure the integrity of the network. \nThe architecture developed in that effect uses model-based systems engineering technics to describe and link the heavy rail system layers of concerns from goals\, to objectives\, levels of service and performance parameters. Network Configuration baselines substantiate key parameters allowing the allocation of capability increases to specific projects. This novel approach based on strong data structure and management\, automatic requirements generation and coupled with tailored visualisations greatly eases the development of the Heavy Rail network. \nThis webinar\, presented by the Systems Engineering Society of Australia Transport Working Group\, will showcase this new methodology and describe how the Victorian Department of Transport developed it internally and with external partners. Learn more about this unusual railway model\, including its benefits and challenges\, further developments and future next steps such as: \n\nstandards requirements elicitation\nheavy rail strategies generation\nsimulation models data configuration.\n\n\nSpeaker\n \nFabrice Lestideau: Principal Engineer – Systems Architecture\, Department of Transport\, Victoria \nOver the last 16 years\, Fabrice has been involved in the development of complex critical systems such as electronic warfare (C4I + EW)\, maritime patrol\, air traffic control and heavy rail systems. In his roles as Systems Engineering Manager and Systems Architect\, he has specialised in model-based systems engineering and providing training in the use of the ARCADIA methodology. Now working for the Victorian Department of Transport in charge of the development of a transport Network Architecture\, he is also co leading the development of a commercial telecommunication model for the INCOSE Telecommunication Working Group. \n\nRegistration details via website link below.

SUMMARY:UNISA presents From Complexity to Clarity: The Art of Architecting
DESCRIPTION:This event is based in South Australia and organised by the University of South Australia\, it will be available to SESA members across the country online. \nJoin us with Dave Hawken who will be exploring the complexities of designing military systems using the concept of capabilities. A capability is not an individual piece of equipment\, like a tank\, ship or aircraft\, but describes the effect the military seeks to achieve and requires dynamically integrated solutions of those pieces of equipment. This presentation will show how taking an architectural approach is essential to designing capabilities and through military examples will illustrate how this is not as straightforward as it seems! \n \nDave Hawken is a Business Architect in the UK MOD. After a spell as a university lecturer and software engineer\, Dave has been in the UK MOD for the last 29 years.

SUMMARY:National Speakers Event - Autonomous Road Transport – A Systems Approach
DESCRIPTION:The concept of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) and driverless cars is a consistent trending topic that has grown over the past decade. With the advancement in available technology\, the concept of AV’s and the road to implementation is accelerating faster than the society and regulations of which is required to introduce it. This immediately becomes a challenge for engineers as several industries struggle to implement the technology in such a complex environment. Over saturation of information is also a noted issue\, namely found in science fiction and media which further dilutes the effort and mission.\nSome challenges faced ahead involve conformance of standards and regulations mandated by government for the safety and acceptance of the\ntechnology. Systems Integration becomes a key factor in this challenge\, as a successful implementation of the technology is subject to several factors\,\nakin to some of the greatest technological challenges in the past. Some of these issues are best addressed by multiple perspectives\, such as government\, industry and academia. Thus\, the aim of this event (and networking) session is to provide different perspectives of the topic from systems-of-systems view\, considering government and policy\, industry/suppliers and as well as research and advisory. The intent is to give audiences an opportunity to understand the type of career paths that engineers can take\, ranging from becoming policy makers to technical system designers or integrators. \n  \n \nSpeaker: John Wall\nProgram Manager\, Future Vehicles and Technology | Austroads\nJohn Wall is recognised as one of Australia’s leading specialists in the application of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for road safety.

SUMMARY:An Opportunity to hear from Leaders in your Field
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar on Monday the 27th of July\, to hear from two experts from the fields of Transport and Systems Engineering. \nRespecify: writing better requirements \nRequirements authoring is a difficult and time-consuming task that requires the right combination of technical\, commercial\, risk management and writing skills. Most specifications are written free-form in a word processor because this is easy and familiar to the authors. The authors are usually domain experts rather that requirements authoring experts. The result is that most specifications we see are of poor quality. Many of our engagements are to fix\, or re-specify\, the requirements written by others. Over the years\, we have found that there are patterns or templates that help structure thinking when writing requirements. We have developed Respecify\, a web-based-requirement authoring tool that uses constrained English to guide the author through the requirements writing process. Respecify helps ensure that all terms used in the specification are defined and consistently used; it extracts the list of all referenced documents; and it automatically derives the system hierarchy\, functions\, and interfaces making requirements defects more apparent. This presentation will be a demonstration of Respecify. \nUsing Systems Engineering to manage complexity – Amsterdam Metro case study \nThe Amsterdam Metro is a rapid transit system serving Amsterdam\, Netherlands and extending to the surrounding municipalities of Diemen and Ouder-Amstel. The metro system consists of five routes and serves 39 stations\, with a total length of 42.7 kilometres. In 2002 the construction of the Noord/Zuidlijn (North–South line) was started. The new metro line is the first to serve the Amsterdam North district\, via a tunnel under the IJ. From there\, it runs via Amsterdam Centraal to Amsterdam Zuid\, which is planned to become the second biggest transport hub in the city\, after Amsterdam Centraal. The line includes a mixture of bored tunnels and immersed tunnels under the IJ. The new North-South line is 9 kilometres km in length with 7 kilometres underground in a bore tunnel with seven new stations. The scope included the introduction of a new Traffic Management System\, Data network and central control systems for stations\, which was also integrated into the existing brownfield. The project has a rocky road to implementation. During the integration phase\, the project relied heavily on the systems engineering and integration process in order to commission and handover the systems into operations and maintenance\, which is the subject of this presentation. Thijs van Steen will talk about the challenges faced in implementing systems engineering\, lessons learnt as well as the legacy the project left the operator and maintainers. \nGuest Speakers\n \nStephen Boyd\nManaging Director | Ricardo Rail Australia \nStephen is the Managing Director of Ricardo Rail Australia. He has over 20 years’ design\, manufacturing\, commissioning and maintenance experience across the largest rail projects. He is Managing Director of Ricardo Rail Australia & NZ and runs a team of over 115 technical staff. Over the past few years Stephen has authored many requirements for the major rolling stock\, metro and light rail projects in Australia and NZ. Stephen is currently working on specifications for the Sydney Metro West project. \n \nThijs van Steen\nDirector of Systems Integrator\, Digital Systems Program | Transport for NSW\n \nThijs van Steen is the Director of Systems Integrator\, Digital Systems Program\, TfNSW. He has recently moved to Sydney and is now working on the Digital Systems Program as the Director of Systems Integration. Prior to this was responsible for Systems Integration in the new Noord/Zuidlijn (North–South line) in Amsterdam as part of Metro en Tram\, gemeente Amsterdam. \nIn association with \n \nPlease note: this session is available as a webinar only.

SUMMARY:This Century – Leading (and Engineering) Care - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:View more on EA website\nRegister for this event\n\n\n\n\nWhen care is limited\, leadership is a license to kill. Engineers know this in all we plan\, design\, build and maintain. We manage and lead people amid complexity to work together artfully to make things happen. We integrate multiple disciplines into a coherent whole. We make trade-offs across outcomes and resources. We evolve designs and build sustainable solutions. We are quiet achievers in a noisy world. \nHow then can we help people think and act differently through compounding crises knowing we also need to prepare for the next? How much of the way we think and act is transferable to the social context? Might we elevate our profession to help other managers and leaders shape society with the same care we display to our engineering? It’s a question for our time. If we stay quietly achieving while a world ‘snaps-back’\, might our legacy contribution be a missed opportunity? \nDr Richard Hodge will explore these questions during his presentation to draw propositions to open discussion in the second half of proceedings. \nSpeaker: Dr Richard Hodge\n \nDirector\, Dr Richard Hodge.com Pty Ltd | This Century Leadership \nRichard is an expert in viable system design with a focus on sustainability. He has extensive experience across public\, private and academic sectors as a consultant\, general manager and company director. Richard advances new thinking for complex enterprises.
