John Boardman, PhDBack

Dr. John T. Boardman is a renowned researcher, innovator and author. His expertise lies in the areas of Extended Enterprise (EE) Architecting, developing tools and techniques for System of Systems (SoS) Architectures, simulation methods and technologies for time compression of new product development processes across SoS and the EE, and using systemigrams to capture strategic intent in SoS.

He recently published a new book entitled “Systems Thinking”, that suggests by examining the links and interactions between elements of a system, systems thinking is becoming increasingly relevant when dealing with global challenges, from terrorism to energy to healthcare.

Taking an engineering systems view toward systems thinking, Dr. Boardman places a high value on the thinking process and the things applied to this process. In the hopes of initiating critical thinking and encouraging a systems response to problems, the book provides pragmatic mechanisms to understand and address co-evolving systems problems and solutions. It uses several contemporary and complex societal issues, such as the Iraq war, the Google phenomenon, and the C2 Constellation, to illustrate the concepts, methods, and tools of a system as well as the meaning of togetherness in a system.

This is the most recent of his over 80 refereed publications, and thanks to his research contributions, he has received the prestigious designation of INCOSE Fellow by the International Council on Systems Engineering, which recognizes practitioners from government and industry applying knowledge and contributing to the practice of systems engineering in designing and acquiring systems, researchers developing new knowledge, pushing the theory forward, and teachers disseminating knowledge and developing the next generation of successful systems engineers. In particular, Dr. Boardman's endeavors have been recognized for "creating innovative practices and tools that educate and enable systems engineering practitioners."
