Study Notes
- SoI development requires concurrent consideration of interfacing, interoperating, and enabling systems.
- Failure to do so can result in significant costs and issues.
- System innovation ecosystems are essential for effective learning and adaptation.
- System innovation ecosystems are composed of individuals, teams, enterprises, supply chains, markets, and societies.
- System innovation ecosystems can be represented using the System Innovation Ecosystem Pattern.
- The pattern consists of three top-level system boundaries: System 1 (The Engineered System), System 2 (The Life Cycle Project Management System), and System 3 (The Enterprise Process and Innovation System).
- System 1 is an engineered system subject to SE life cycle management and includes medical devices, aircraft, consumer packaged goods, and gas turbine engines.
- System 2, a socio-technical system, provides the environment for System 1 over its life cycle and is responsible for learning about System 1 and effectively applying that learning.
- System 3, which includes formal life cycle management for the processes of System 2, is responsible for learning about and improving System 2.
- The System Innovation Ecosystem Pattern emphasizes learning and execution aspects of the enterprise ecosystem and directly integrates SE life cycle processes.
- The pattern is configurable to local enterprises, projects, or supply chains and can be used to plan migration increments.
