“…Design Thinking offers tools for understanding the user, and for processing the knowledge into meaningful need definitions. Watanabe et al (2017), Zhao (2015), Wade et al (2017), Tomita et al (2017), and Shafaat & Kenley (2015) suggested approaches from Design Thinking in order to include the human as a part of the system.…”

“…Wade, Hoffenson, & Gerardo (2017) emphasized that the concept phase of System Engineering, also known as Design in the larger community outside of Systems Engineering, is critical because it determines cost, complexity, and value of a system. Wade et al (2017) compared existing design paradigms for designing complex products: Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, Systemic Design, engineering design, Systems Engineering, agile systems, and software engineering. The proposed framework entitled "Systemic Design Engineering" unifies the strengths of each of these existing paradigms.…”

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of Design Thinking techniques for capturing and communicating human values in the early phase of Systems Engineering. To develop products, systems, or services that satisfy the stakeholders, the systems engineer (SE) must understand the emotional needs of the stakeholder. The goal is to derive stakeholder requirements from the need analysis to create solutions that satisfy the quantitative and emotional need of the stakeholders. A development project team conducts three field visits where they interview and observe stakeholders in their work environment. The project team uses visual mapping tools to communicate and discuss findings and to create a mutual understanding of the stakeholder needs. We evaluate the method using interviews, surveys, and analyses of the derived requirements. The results indicate that the team gained a better understanding of the human values and succeeded in deriving human values into stakeholder requirements.

“…Previous research has discussed the potential of combining design-and systems approaches [5]- [8]. However, we have not found literature that focuses on the industrial challenges for systems engineers to innovate in a soft systems context, nor the main influencing factors to address for the industry to overcome these challenges.…”

Norwegian high-tech industries face a rapidly changing market need. Staying ahead of competitors and developing significant innovative solutions are essential for business value. Systems engineering has proven to be an effective approach for developing technical (hard) systems. People, organizations, and technical functionality contribute to an increasing complexity in today's high-tech systems. This makes the traditional systems engineering approach insufficient for innovation in a socio-technical context. This paper looks towards systems architecting, systems oriented design, and participatory design for collaborative and creative ways of working to support systems engineers in developing significant innovations. We explore a rich toolbox and the outline of a new methodology for such co-creative problem solving. Firstly, we identify industry needs for the new methodology and derive success criteria for the toolbox embodied in the new methodology. Through ten industry cases within Norwegian high-tech industries, we analyze and discuss the toolbox composed of methods and tools for early exploration, validation, and knowledge transfer in the concept phase. Finally, we provide examples on how the toolbox supports the industry needs and outline the new methodology.

“…The systems engineering community has recently begun to adopt design thinking, and it is starting to be taught in systems engineering programs. Also, some have proposed integrating design thinking into the systems engineering process, including Sirietta Simoncini of Cornell University (Simoncini, 2015) and Jon Wade of the Stevens Institute of Technology (Wade, 2017). For a subjective toolbox, to bring an increased emphasis on design, the following heuristic is proposed: to integrate systems thinking with design thinking.…”

A Subjective Toolbox for Sociotechnical Systems

One of the recent developments in systems engineering has been the expansion of its focus to include sociotechnical systems. As systems become larger and more complex, the interactions between humans and systems become more important, as do the interactions between systems and the environment. There have been calls for systems engineering to adapt to these changes. New disciplines and new frameworks have been proposed in response. In this paper, it is argued that these new disciplines and frameworks will have a limited impact because they have a limited viewpoint: they only make use of objective perspectives. It is proposed that an Integral approach, based on Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, which makes use of both subjective and objective perspectives, can have a greater impact on the discipline of systems engineering in the development of sociotechnical systems. This proposal includes the introduction of a subjective toolbox, which enables more effective use of subjective perspectives, and results in a more human‐centric approach to systems engineering.
