SE Technical Leadership ‐ A Model Based Framework

Abstract

Systems engineering technical experience in conjunction with leadership skills have been considered as recipe for successful systems’ developments (Williams & Reyes, 2012). A technical leader shall be able to easily link up technical engineering professionals and management teams. Competencies such as strategic thinker, systems thinker, effective communicator, team members’ success enabler, project vision holder are necessary for someone to play a technical leader role. This paper attempts to introduce a model based systems engineering framework to define and articulate technical leader competencies. As a work product from the second cohort of the INCOSE Technical Leadership Institute (TLI), this paper leverages the technical leadership mind‐map developed by the first cohort of the TLI.

Understanding the Development of Teamwork Competency to Comprehend the Transformation in Systems Engineering discipline

“…The papers emphasize on the use of several strategies including program development, integrating problem-based learning, teaching strategies that helped them understand teamwork competencies and improve team-based learning [41], [43]- [49]. For example, Garcia et al [41] introduced a model-based system engineering framework that helps build technical leader competencies and improve learning outcomes and team function in a multidisciplinary team project. Several papers highlight the integration of Problem-based learning (PBL) into a systems engineering course [45], [46], [48].…”
