If you work or think in systems concepts, you can benefit
 from the application of systems engineering processes.
 Systems engineering or engineering of systems is increasingly
 important to developing competitive products in today's markets.
 You may not think of yourself as a systems engineer but this
 discipline has much to offer you in professional development.

 Translating Customer/User Needs into Automation:  Violent
 Interaction or Working Team?

 Barbara and Kris Bicknell, Bicknell Consulting, Inc

 A key element in information managment today is turning process
 improvement and requirements into automated solutions.  This effort
 is often called Business Process Reengineering, or some other
 quality acronym.  The link between computers and the rest of an
 organization (and the  external customer) is forged in increasing
 pathways; consequently, the requirement for users to interface and
 be involved with the software developers during software development
 grows ever more critical.  Unfortunately this relationship is
 increasingly more volatile. The speakers will discuss how this process
 can become more cooperative and less confrontational using the
 Repeatable Success Method (R) and employing Quality Function
 Deployment.  The Bicknells will describe how this methodology works
 better than the MOH ("Miracle Occurs Here") approach to software
 development and requirements identification!
