Embrace Yourself! Our Responsibilities and Competencies as Complex Problem Solvers

Over the last decade, the field of systems engineering has matured rapidly. As part of this, a number of systems engineering competency frameworks have been created with substantial overlap between the frameworks. As we gel as a discipline, we should also focus on the power that many systems skills bring. In particular, systems engineers should be good complex problem solvers (and according to the World Economic Forum, complex problem solving is – and has been - one of the top skills needed globally). This talk will talk about the skills required for complex problem-solving and highlight how you, as a systems engineer, are uniquely positioned to help our colleagues and organizations develop these skills.
