Scope

This working group addresses Professional and Soft Skills of all types for Systems Engineering. The needs for Systems Engineers are considered specialized and require information and examples beyond what is available in generic personal and professional development programs.

Professional competencies and  soft-skills have become increasingly important as individuals advance their careers and develop their responsibilities. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the more generalized training and material that is available for soft-skills often misses the mark for individuals with an engineering background.  This working group will seek to take advantage of the opportunity available provided by the engineers within INCOSE that have developed their soft-skills. This working group will leverage their knowledge and experience to create material that explains the value, purpose, and mechanics of soft-skills in terms that an engineer can understand and relate to.
