Reinventing the ConOps for Innovative Systems Development
YangYang Zhao, Peter Sjöberg, LARRY J. LEIFER, Sara Dersten · INCOSE International Symposium · 2016
Abstract In an ever rapid changing world of today, enterprises cannot leverage only on past success. Striving for an innovation success demands traditional systems engineering methods (i.e. ConOps in our case) to be updated. This study points towards the benefits for such a company to leverage the usage of the ConOps together with the needfinding of a design‐inspired method – design thinking, and therefore introduce the User‐focused ConOps. Through two construction equipment development case studies we show the importance of User‐focused ConOps from it is created until the system validation.
