\chapter{Introduction}

The world around us is changing fast, technology keeps evolving much,
and the solutions that we develop are increasingly a result of
many interacting socio-technical systems.
As a consequence, (systems) engineers need another competence profile,
other methodologies, while organizations need new capabilities and better infrastructure.

In this tutorial, we will look at the trends and the consequences
for the industry,
research and education,
how can we help the organizations to develop the systems engineering capabilities
that fit the future?

Crucial competencies that we will address in the tutorial are:
orchestrating across organizational boundaries,
building on facilitation skills and leadership,
the need for breadth (integral, PESTEL (Political, Economic,
Social, Technical, Environmental, and Legal), and domain),
and an agile mindset allowing to experiment, act and think,
while achieving rigorous engineering.

The tutorial will discuss methods and means to develop
a shared vision and strategy across organizations
that you need to be able to guide and orchestrate a roadmap,
translating into master plans, a communication strategy,
and a way to operationalize within the constituting organizations.

The tutorial will use a case where participants work on
to make the offered ideas concrete and tangible.

The methods and means in this tutorial
are based on work in the past 10 years in
defense, health care, the energy sector, transportation, and research institutes.
This tutorial builds upon the keynote at the TNO-ESI symposium 2025,
