Towards a model-based enterprise

Matti Koskipää explores the foundational principles and applications of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Enterprise Architecture (EA). Addressing misconceptions about the V model and waterfall methodology, Matti emphasizes that systems engineering, despite its structured appearance, is inherently agile and adaptive across the system lifecycle. He advocates for early problem identification to mitigate costs, citing industry studies and personal experiences.

Matti underscores the role of MBSE in achieving a single source of truth and fostering collaboration through standardized modeling practices like SysML and UAF ML. His discussion navigates from enterprise strategy and system-of-systems definitions to detailed system modeling and simulation, highlighting the efficiency gains of MBSE in integration and testing phases. Ultimately, Matti asserts that robust methodologies and qualified personnel are pivotal for successful implementation and evolution of MBSE and EA frameworks within organizations.
