Systems Engineers meet to tackle future challenges

Systems Engineers meet to tackle future challenges

The International Council on Systems Engineering, or INCOSE, holds the largest annual gathering of the systems engineering community worldwide. It’s the INCOSE International Symposium, and this summer’s event in Dublin attracted more than 1,000 attendees representing 42 different countries.


Jack Sutherland (Principal Systems Engineer and Team Lead) attended on behalf of Synoptix. The Symposium gave him a rich opportunity to understand leading trends in the modern day application of SE; strengthen our professional ties and influence within the INCOSE organisation; and connect with international industry/academic colleagues both old and new.


 Highlights included topical engagements on:

  • Risk, uncertainty and complexity science

  • Data driven and distributed decision making

  • Working ‘smarter’ in MBSE

  • Drawing systems engineering inspiration from nature (and understanding positive emergent behaviour)

  • Embracing AI to enhance systems engineering practice

Jack reflected on his return, “This was an enlightening couple of days with some really thought-provoking content. The evolving practice of SE in our increasingly uncertain, complex and digital world is both a challenging and exciting prospect. It is reassuring that the global engineering problems of tomorrow are exactly what we at Synoptix are positioning ourselves to solve.”
