The Ultimate Foundation of Systems Engineering

The Value of Operational Domain Knowledge

“…The more operational knowledge that systems engineers possess, the more useful they will be in the early development work. 3 Refining Jeffrey O. Grady's systems engineering knowledge concept, 1 we call this concept Operational Domain Systems Engineering knowledge.…”

Operational Domain Systems Engineering

“…To the extent that the system engineer can possess operational knowledge, this would certainly amplify their utility in the early development work [3]. This concept is termed operational domain systems engineering knowledge, refining Jeffrey O. Grady's Systems Engineering knowledge concept [1].…”

“…Recently in the INCOSE Insight, Fellow's Edition, Jeffrey O. Grady [1] discussed Robert E. Machol's 1965 concept of the "T-Shaped" domain knowledge of the systems engineer. He challenged that in reality, most systems engineers are somewhat broader in knowledge than just their core discipline.…”

5.1.2 Seven Secret Tips to Build Intelligent Enterprise Architectures

“…Stakeholder meetings and briefings, and public information campaigns are just three of the ways to get the word out to stakeholders, and time at the meetings should be reserved for questions and answers. In discussions with stakeholders, it will prove best to have the architects present that have domain knowledge ( [Grady, 2006]; ).…”
