An INCOSE UK One Day Event
"Simple Systems Techniques That Work"
Wednesday 3 March 2010
General Information
Back in the days before we all had computers on our desks, and fancy modelling and analysis tools to use on them, we used to get an awful lot done with a pen and some bits of paper. Some of these simple techniques can produce surprisingly powerful results when applied correctly, and it is the aim of this interactive one-day event to give delegates the opportunity to try some of them out. Every delegate will receive expert tuition and a walk-through of each method, before trying them out on our sample problem...
Only You Can Save The Earth!
For this event we will be challenging delegates to use simple systems techniques to address the problem of how to save the earth from meteor attack. We expect this problem to provide plenty of scope for looking at different systems aspects across the range of possible solution options.
Delegates will be put into groups and rotate around four bases, with some bases covering one technique and some covering two:
- Base 1: Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
- Base 2: Stakeholder Identification + Balancing conflicting requirements
- Base 3: N-Squared Charts
- Base 4: Six Honest Men + How to define a systems project
This unique event will provide delegates with an unparalleled opportunity to try out a range of simple systems techniques which they can apply back in their places of work without the need for specialist tools or IT systems. If you would like to give some new techniques a try, or reacquaint yourself with some that you haven’t used for a while then this event is for you!
The venue for the Workshop will be:
BAWA, 589 Southmead Road, Filton, Bristol, BS34 7RG
