📢We are thrilled to announce the launch of The INCOSE Podcast!  

 

To kick off our very first episode, we have the distinct honor of hosting Michael D. Watson, the new President of INCOSE and a widely respected leader in the systems engineering community. 

 

In this premiere episode, Watson dives deep into the evolving landscape of our discipline, sharing insights from his 30-year career at NASA and his vision for the future of INCOSE. 

 

What’s inside this episode: 

 

✅How the INCOSE President balances his role at Leidos with leading the international systems engineering community. 

✅A look at the "elegant system" and why systems engineers own the interactions. 

✅Why we need a tool bag of six different modeling types—from physics-based to system dynamics—to handle modern complexity. 

✅Understanding the critical human and organizational dimensions of engineering. 

✅Moving systems engineering toward a foundation of mathematical and physical science basis. 

 

🤝A huge thank you to Weber State University for making this debut possible.
