ESD Faculty and Teaching Staff Luncheon
Title: Strategic Engineering: Designing
Systems for an Uncertain Future
Speaker: Olivier L. de Weck, Associate
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
and Engineering Systems
Increasingly,
complex systems and products have to be
designed such that they can easily be
changed or reconfigured over time to adapt
to changing needs and requirements and
to avoid lock-in. Architectural lock-in
is known as a phenomenon where better
technologies or architectures are known
to exist, but sub-optimal systems continue
to be operated due to high switching costs.
In order to avoid lock-in, systems can
be designed with embedded flexibility
to lower future switching costs and optimize
performance and cost under uncertainty.
This talk will present principles, methods
and tools that are being developed for
analyzing change propagation, identifying
real options and pinpointing where and
how to embed flexibility during system
design to promote evolution over time.

12:00 noon - 1:00 pm

Title: The Law of 100 for Networking Workshop
Speaker: John Davies, Author of The $100,00+
Career
70%
of executive jobs are landed through networking.
Executives are constantly told to network,
but there have not been tools or systems
that help guarantee networking success.
A new approach called The Law of 100 provides
a structured, goal-oriented approach that
is more than just a job search technique.
It is a brand new way to build your career.
Unlock the power of introduction-based
networking to help build your executive
career and land the job you want. You
will learn new tools and approaches to
accelerate your search and increase the
effectiveness of your network.
