Abstract

Tinkering — or making small changes to experiment toward an improvement in performance — is seemingly a natural characteristic of many systems engineers. As such, systems engineers are uniquely qualified to develop complex solutions necessary to overcome lack of clarity, achieve order, and avoid failure. Further, there is a much broader conversation surrounding the possibility of “failure” being beneficial in systems engineering projects. In response to the needing to inform judgment in situations shrouded in uncertainty, members of INCOSE's Technical Leadership Institute (TLI) cohort 8 examined the role of safe-to-fail probes play in informing judgement for systems engineers. Within the constraints of the TLI's major project, virtual workshops and qualitative interviews were two data collection mechanisms established to empirically investigate the role(s) of safe-to-fail probing in systems engineering. Overall, the data sets offered conclusions describing the potential role(s) of safe-to-fail probes for systems engineers working in uncertain environments. Resulting from this (limited) empirical exploration are additional insights and implications for how systems engineers may invoke safe-to-fail probes to improve decision-making in uncertain and challenging situations. Such a tinkerer's mindset can help systems engineers transition from the constraints of “intolerable failure” to the opportunities related to probing-sensing-responding to “responsible failures.”

工匠心态:技术领导力学院第 8 期学员将 "安全无故障 "探查作为判断工具的经验教训
修修补补--或做一些小的改动,以尝试提高性能--似乎是许多系统工程师的天性。因此,系统工程师在制定复杂的解决方案以克服不清晰、实现有序和避免失败方面具有独特的资质。此外,围绕系统工程项目中 "失败 "可能带来的益处,还有更广泛的讨论。为了满足在充满不确定性的情况下为判断提供信息的需求,INCOSE 技术领导力学院(TLI)第 8 期的成员们研究了安全到故障探测在为系统工程师的判断提供信息方面所起的作用。在 TLI 主要项目的限制下,虚拟研讨会和定性访谈是两个数据收集机制,目的是对系统工程中安全到故障探测的作用进行实证研究。总体而言,这些数据集提供了一些结论,描述了在不确定环境中工作的系统工程师使用安全到故障探测的潜在作用。通过这次(有限的)经验探索,我们对系统工程师如何利用 "安全到故障 "探测来改进在不确定和具有挑战性的情况下的决策有了更多的了解和启示。这种工匠思维可以帮助系统工程师从 "不可容忍的故障 "的限制过渡到与探测-感知-应对 "负责任的故障 "相关的机遇。
