INCOSE Fellows are individuals with significant verifiable contributions to the art and practice of Systems Engineering in industry, government or academia. This award recognizes practitioners from government and industry applying knowledge and contributing to the practice of systems engineering in designing and acquiring systems, researchers developing new knowledge, pushing the theory forward, and teachers disseminating knowledge and developing the next generation of successful systems engineers. Boardman teaches graduate-level courses in Systems Thinking and Architecting the Extended Enterprise and leads the School of Systems & Enterprises’ research program in Enterprise Architecting. Prior to this role he served as Professor of Systems Engineering at De Montfort University in Leicester, where over a period of seven years he gained external research funding, from industry and government in excess of $5 million. “We are proud to have Dr. Boardman on our faculty, and this is a well deserved and long overdue recognition. His research and insights with regard to systems thinking and extended enterprises have been a key part of our school's research agenda,” says Dr. Dinesh Verma, Dean and Professor at the School of Systems & Enterprises. He graduated with 1st Class Honors in Electrical Engineering in 1967 from the University of Liverpool, where he also gained his PhD in 1970. He gained industry experience at GEC and MANWEB in the UK, where his titles included electrical engineer, power plant designer, computer programmer, and systems analyst. In 1988, he founded John Boardman Associates Ltd., a professional management consultancy practice specializing in value networks, whose clients include BBC, British Telecom, Computing Devices Ltd., Eurocontrol Agency, GEC Marconi, GM Hughes, Leicester City Challenge, London Underground, Manweb, Matra Marconi Space, National Air Traffic Services, NIS Ltd., Pall Europe Ltd. and Schlumberger Technologies. Dr. Boardman has taught at the University of Liverpool, Brighton Polytechnic and Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Portsmouth, where he became the GEC Marconi Professor of Systems Engineering, and was founding Director of the School of Systems Engineering. In 1994 he became founding Dean of the College of Technology at the University of Portsmouth. Boardman has more than 60 refereed publications to his credit and a textbook published by Prentice Hall: Introduction to Systems Engineering. His seminal work on a soft systems methodology and, in particular, on systemigrams, a graphical notation for capturing strategic intent in extended enterprises, has been recognized internationally. His most recent book, co-authored with Dr. Brian Sauser, is Systems Thinking: Coping with 21st Century Problems, provides pragmatic mechanisms to understand and address co-evolving systems problems and solutions. It uses several contemporary and complex societal issues, such as the Iraq war, the Google phenomenon, and the C2 Constellation, to illustrate the concepts, methods, and tools of a system as well as the meaning of togetherness in a system. Boardman is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
