Can we digitally engineer expertise for the masses? 

Organizations seeking to integrate digital-first practices into their engineering processes often rapidly discover a common roadblock: critical dependencies on the individual expertise of specific employees embedded in legacy workflows. Discovering this issue has prompted some to ask what role might generative technologies play in supporting digital engineering transformation efforts: “Can they help us reduce reliance […]

U.S. Government Programs Need Authoritative Sources of Truth Aligned with Multi-organization Workflows

Systems engineering has come a long way since the 1960s. Defense and aerospace data management systems, which initially evolved under a centralized authority, must now adapt to highly distributed organizations with multiple authorities and open and modular development needs. Organizational management techniques have evolved to smooth logistics and collaboration between contributors, and data management and […]

Digital Engineering: Changing the Paradigm

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “change is the only constant in life.” Yet, all too often, it is change that we struggle with the most. In business and technology, as in life, there is comfort in doing things the way we have always done them. We hold onto strategies, processes, and approaches that are […]
