The adoption of Digital Engineering across a product's lifecycle can be a transformative step in optimizing today's engineering and production processes. Digital business demands system and system-of-systems thinking. Learn both the strategic goals of Digital Engineering and the institutional, cultural, contractual and technical barriers that impact an organization's ability to attain those goals. Examine the importance of digitally connected systems and how digital engineering can be used to create complex, interconnected systems of products, services, and capabilities more quickly and effectively. Discuss the importance of leveraging data and technology to produce improvements in applications and solutions. Understand how digitization allows teams to rapidly manipulate system designs and architectures to study resulting strengths and weaknesses while unlocking ideas that lead to innovation, and be ready to employ these strategies back at your workplace. Assess how your current organization might apply digital engineering to improve the affordability of systems and communications among stakeholders while assessing the barriers facing your organization in implementing such a transformation across each functional domain and your enterprise.
