Location
Noblis - The Capital Gallery Building

Abstract:
After observing many space companies fail through the years, it became clear that systems engineering processes were not being appropriately utilized, including Risk Management (RM). The vision of Sysenex Inc. is to help company personnel help themselves, in the space and aerospace realms, to successfully bring products to market and be profitable. Based on an analysis of hundreds of programs, their risks and their failures, Sysenex has developed a software tool that takes risk identification, the first step in the RM process, and makes it a standardized, repeatable process that program personnel can apply to their programs. This disruptive capability, known as Program Risk ID, transforms an error prone, non-repeatable, non-standardized process into a straightforward exercise that can be used not only to discover risks on one program, but to compare risk profiles across programs.
