Join INCOSE NZ for another meet-up on 5 November, at 12:00pm NZT. In this midday session, , Grace Kennedy, chair of the INCSOE Human Systems Integration Working Group, will provide an overview of all things Human Systems Integration and Human Factors Integration in the INCOSE sphere of influence:

Topic: An Introduction to Human Systems Integration (HSI) - the dual perspectives of Systems Engineering and Human Factors.  
Abstract: Join our lunchtime session with guest speaker, Grace Kennedy (Chair of the INCOSE HSI Working Group), to explore all things Human Systems Integration/Human Factors Integration.  In systems development, trying to fit the human to the technology is a risky, and some would say, futile situation in terms of achieving system performance and safety assurance. An HSI approach enables us to not only fit the technology to the human, but to develop human-centred designs that let the human be human, and enables us to think in terms of the design and behaviour of the total sociotechnical system.  So how do we explicitly include the human voice within the systems engineering process?  Through a series of examples, we'll cover what HSI is (and what it isn't), why's it needed and when, who does it and how both SEs and HFs can collaborate to ensure that the human is considered adequately throughout the systems lifecycle.
