Abstract
Organizational adoption of digital engineering (DE) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) requires a strong foundation in systems engineering (SE) and a multiyear organizational digital transformation strategy. For the last 5 years, the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) has conducted a sustained series of research tasks to evaluate and develop a model for DE/MBSE adoption. This model is organized across three categories: organizational design, organizational enablers/barriers, and organizational change management. This chapter summarizes the results of each stage of this research, presents the derived model of enterprise adoption factors, and then outlines an adoption strategy using lessons learned and the 12 highest-impact adoption factors. The body of research summarized here provides justification and initiates a framework for organizations wanting to undergo digital transformation of their engineering practice.
