SE-Training – A Systemic and Systematic Methodology for Solving Complex Problems

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Systems-Methodology
Course Descriptions
This course focuses on systems engineering as a systemic and systematic methodology for solving complex problems. The course discusses thinking, systems thinking as a way of understanding a situation and the benefits of going beyond systems thinking to determine the problem and solution. The course applies systems thinking to systems engineering, provides the participants with a number of conceptual tools, looks at systems and their properties and then goes through each state of the system lifecycle discussing what systems engineers do in each state and how they do it; identifying the types of problems faced by systems engineering in each state, and the tools and methodologies available for the systems engineer to use in each state.

SE-Training – Systems Thinking and Beyond

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/STAB
Course Descriptions
Holistic thinking is a combination of analysis, systems thinking and critical thinking. After an introduction to systems thinking and critical thinking, Participants will learn how to apply holistic thinking in a systemic and systematic manner to deal with structured and unstructured problems.

SE-Training – Configuration Management

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Configuration-Management
Course Descriptions
Managing the complexity of products along their lifecycle is an increasing challenge in many industries. Knowing and controlling the state of mechatronical systems during development, in the supply chain and after sales is a basic requirement for today`s manufacturer. Manyfold requirements set by customers and regulatory bodies, paired with increasing number of product variants set challenges for managing product data, documentation and changes along the product`s lifetime.

SE-Training - Design Thinking and Lean Innovation Introduction

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Design-Thinking-and-Lean-Innovation-Introduction
Course Descriptions
Learn how to combine Systems Engineering with Design Thinking and Lean Start-up in the upfront Innovation phase (Pre-Development-Phase). The Design Thinking course gives you a deep understanding of the Design Thinking mindset and its problem-solving cycle based on fast iteration and customer interaction.
The importance of a well-defined concept including product/service conception, business design and clear determination of the customer needs is fundamental before the development starts. The later misconceptions are discovered, the more costly it gets and there is a lot of wasted work, money and time.
Design Thinking and Systems Engineering are both problem-solving methods that try to cope with the increasing complexity. Both approaches are on a first sight completely different but on a closer look they become more and more complementary and share many thoughts. Combining both approaches and switching the thinking mode is essential when dealing with ambiguity.
The course is very practice-oriented and hands-on. The participants will spend more than half of the time practicing, e.g. meeting the user and practicing need-finding, creating new ideas, building prototypes and testing with the user.

SE-Training – Systems Approach to  Project Management

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Systems-Approach-to-Project-Management
Course Descriptions
This course defines a holistic approach to project management for the development of new complex techno-centric systems. The emphasis is on the relationships and interconnections between project management processes and systems engineering processes for new complex systems. Specific topics include change management, strategy, project organization, team development, leadership styles, priorities, task development, scheduling, cost estimation, performance monitoring, constraint management, and project audits. Students apply these concepts on a project while working in teams. Mastery of these key tools is important for career development, as projects are a major approach for organizations to achieve their strategic goals.

SE-Training - Design Thinking and Lean Innovation Advanced

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Design-Thinking-and-Lean-Innovation-Advanced
Course Descriptions
Design Thinking and Lean Innovation are easy to understand concepts, however with the practice more questions arises. In this advanced workshop we dig deeper and learn additional tools and methods (like business ecosystem design), reflect the practical experiences and challenges of the participants and how to overcome them.
In addition to combining Design Thinking and Systems Thinking, we learn how to make a deep dive into designing a business ecosystem, creating stakeholder maps and have a look into the hybrid model (combining Design Thinking and Big Data Analytics).
The workshop will also focus in the challenge of implementing Design Thinking in your organisation.

SE-Training – Technical Problem Solving

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Technical-Problem-Solving
Course Descriptions
Solving complex problems is one of the most urgently required skills in our current time. As technologies become more advanced, the possible solutions created by them become more and more complex to understand, design for and successfully implement. This can be seen across multiple industries and is causing significant front line issues to reliability, maintenance, project cost, product performance and overall schedules.

SE-Training – Fundamentals of System and Product Safety

Sponsored content, see: https://www.se-training.net/en/pdf/courses/Fundamentals-of-System-and-Product-Safety
Course Descriptions
This course will provide attendees with a solid foundation in the motivations for and techniques associated with, designing safer systems and products. We will review a variety of real life accidents and explore their root causes, to highlight that organisational failings, design errors and operational issues have the capacity to create catastrophic events. Within an SE approach, we'll explore methods to assess safety and human factors risks for a set of technologically diverse systems before considering how to define design requirements to control potential hazards. The course will also provide an overview of safety management systems, hazard logs, safety arguments, incident investigation, complex electronics safety (including software), CE marking and hazardous materials.
