This intensive professional workshop, organized by the INCOSE UK local groups, focuses on the practical application of Systems Thinking within the rapidly evolving energy sector. Held in the innovation hubs of Edinburgh, this event moves beyond theoretical frameworks to provide attendees with a "systems-first" toolkit for managing the transition to renewable energy grids. As the UK strives for Net Zero, the complexity of balancing intermittent supply with fluctuating demand requires a holistic perspective that traditional siloed engineering often misses.
The workshop is structured around a live "Case Study: The Scottish Power Grid," where participants will work in multidisciplinary teams to map stakeholders, identify feedback loops, and design interventions using systemic modeling techniques. Facilitated by certified INCOSE expert practitioners, the day is split between instructional modules and deep-dive collaborative sessions. We will explore the concept of "Systems of Systems" (SoS) and how local micro-grids interface with national infrastructure.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to apply the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and Causal Loop Diagrams to their own professional projects. This is not just a lecture series; it is an active laboratory for problem-solving. By focusing on the unique challenges of the energy transition in Scotland, the workshop provides a localized yet globally relevant context for systems practitioners. It is an essential gathering for those tasked with designing sustainable, reliable, and equitable energy futures.
