Compare predictions about how the position of an engineering manager might change to their predictions..

Prediction 1:

My life is likely going to change in a few ways over the next ten years because of my position as an engineering manager. In the first place, for me to be able to keep up with the rapidly shifting landscape of engineering, I will need to become more knowledgeable about the principles of systems engineering and be able to apply them with greater fluency. Second, to solve complex systems engineering problems, I would need to take a more iterative and collaborative approach, so I would need to be more agile in the way that I approach the problem-solving process. Thirdly, to manage systems engineering projects effectively, I would need to be more adaptable in my approach to project management. Systems engineering projects frequently involve the participation of multiple stakeholders, and it is necessary to manage the priorities of these stakeholders. In conclusion, I would need to pay more attention to the global context, as projects in systems engineering frequently involve working with people from other countries and call for a more comprehensive perspective on the undertaking.

Prediction 2:

life as an engineering manager is poised to change extensively over the next decade. After reading 'A World in Motion: Systems Engineering Vision 2025' it is quite apparent that an engineering manager and systems engineering as a whole will need to be fluid and flexible to adapt to the consistent changes within the field. As the article references, population growth and limited natural resources will be something that every corporation will need to work around and develop better solutions to the growing problems. I see system engineering processes and standard operating procedures being updated more frequently to keep up with the times.
