Looking forward to this opportunity to engage with the community exploring dimensions of adoption and practice to advance systems engineering.

The #MBSE in Practice 2025 conference, Aug. 21, has announced its keynote speaker. David Long, director for strategic integration at INCOSE, will deliver “Into the Great Digital Unknown: The Evolving Landscape of MBSE and Digital Engineering” @thinkse - https://t.co/MTu5xpyADv

“Systems thinking is fine. We need more systems doing.” A great call to leadership and systemic intervention from Brian Collins opening #INCOSEIS.

[David Long @thinkse]

Great insights on #systemsEngineering and #leadership from Brian Collins as he opens #INCOSEIS. Hope our ⁦@incose_org⁩ Technical Leadership Institute members follow the messages on systemic leadership.

[David Long @thinkse]

#INCOSEIS is just one month away. I will be presenting on technical leadership and digital practices. Looking forward to contribute to the largest annual gathering of systems engineers as @incose_org strives to advance the state of the art and state of the practice.

[BORN TO ENGINEER @born2engineer]

Engineering is not just a career; it's a mindset. Adopt the engineering mindset, and you'll find solutions where others see roadblocks. #EngineeringMindset

An exciting miss for this year's @incose_org International Workshop. A can't miss as we broaden our horizons (and have a bit of fun!) #INCOSEIW

[Hortense Gerardo @hfgerardo]

Looking forward to the final tech for tomorrow's #RobotCabaret I'll be presenting in a plenary session tomorrow (1/29) with my esteemed colleagues @AmyEguchi and @roberttwomey @incose_org! #INCOSEIW #HumanRobotInteraction #HRI.

In everyday life, it’s better to be valued than needed.

Being needed creates dependency in others and obligation for you. You feel worried and guilty about letting them down.

Being valued grants autonomy. Your help is appreciated but not expected on their road to self-reliance.

[Simon Sinek @simonsinek]

There is a cost to lead. True leaders are willing to pay the price: sacrifice self-interest and put their Cause ahead of themselves.

[David Long @thinkse]

Great day one at #SimCongress23 as Simulation Australia, SESA, and ITEA come together to talk life between reality and simulation. Looking forward to making an @incose_org contribution discussing how to make the digital thread work in support of a modern engineering lifecycle.

Leaders don’t have to be perfect
Leaders don’t have to have all the answers
Leaders don’t have to be loud
Leaders don’t have to be stoic

Leaders have to be humble
Leaders have to be intentional
Leaders have to be committed
Leaders have to be confident
Leaders have to care

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

6 Ways to Get Better Today:

1. Be humble and hungry
2. Focus on your strengths
3. Tune out distractions
4. See life and people as teachers you can learn from each day
5. Help others get better
6. Care more. Put more time, effort and passion into your work/life

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

A key to creating a great team (at work, at home or on the field) is this... put WE before ME.

It’s what happens when your united interest becomes more important than your self-interest.

Systems engineers are like a bridge connecting the experts and making sure everyone is on the same page 🤝

I think you are a true systems engineer at heart. Thanks for the generosity as you shared your insights and time with @incose_org and the greater systems engineering community. We’ll strive to live up to the challenge and be the humble superheroes we can be.

Just boarded my flight on way home after speaking at the #INCOSEIS 2023: can’t imagine I’ll ever be here again. Loved being an ‘honorary’ Systems Engineer for 5 days and, for creativity top-up, the amazingly-brilliant Honolulu Museum of Art & the v moving USS Arizona Memorial.

3 Thoughts about Leadership:

1. If you model it, your team will live it.
2. You have to share your real self to be your best self. Authenticity is essential.
3. Great leaders are selfless not selfish.

[David Long @thinkse]

Mahalo Hawai'i! What a fabulous week as the #systemsEngineering community gathered for #incoseIS. Our heads are full of fresh insights and our hearts with warm memories of time together. A hui hou (until we meet again) in Torrance for the @incose_org IW and in Dublin for IS 2024.

[David Long @thinkse]

Wonderful and timely insights. We are so thankful you made time to join us for the #incoseIS.

[Dr. Rahul C. Basole @basole]

I had the distinct pleasure to keynote the 33rd #INCOSE Symposium in Honolulu today. Thank you @incose_org for inviting me and to all attendees for allowing me to share my thoughts on visualizing complex systems and the power of #data and #AI. It was truly an honor. Mahalo!

For #systemsEngineers of all skills across industries, today’s #incoseIS keynote from ⁦@basole⁩ is a must watch. Our transdisciplinary responsibilities require that we leverage these insights enabling shared understanding of problem & solution across diverse stakeholders.
