FINAL THOUGHTS
FINAL THOUGHTS Dear Reader, As this month’s edition is about cultivating progress to achieving the vision of SE, whether that vision is INCOSE’s 2035 vision, the SE capability level that your organization is working towards, or the professional goals that you have set for yourself, we would like to emphasize the importance of planning in order to achieve your vision. Quote about planning. Growth will not take place haphazardly, and even it does, it won’t happen to the extent that is possible without setting key objectives/goals, performance measures, and frequent feedback based on those objectives. For the individuals out there looking at catapulting their SE skills in preparing for these shifts, PPI would like to propose the following tips to apply along the journey of bolstering your career. 1. Reading systems engineering-related material and staying up-to-date with progress on standards, guides, frameworks, modeling languages, etc (including newsjournals such as this one and other formal publications and articles on LinkedIn, etc) 2. Getting involved with engineering societies that align with your values and your areas of interest (many are mentioned in this edition of PPI SyEN. Find pages of sites of interest on LinkedIn or Yammer etc) 3. Participating in high-quality systems engineering training (see PPI’s website for a list of courses that may be of interest to you). 4. Acquiring your SE certification (visit CTI’s website to find out about our SE certification program) 5. Applying a competency framework to guide your path to develop the skills and areas that you would like to improve in (for example INCOSE’s competency framework) If you’d like PPI’s guidance on shaping the SE capability of your team, organization of all your career personally, feel free to send us an email at enquiries@ppi-int.com and we would be glad to assist you by arranging a friendly phone call with no obligation for commitment to our services whatsoever.
