Integrated Systems Engineering and Complex Project Management

Better Integration. Better Project Outcomes.

ISECPM brings systems engineering and complex project management together — connecting the people, disciplines and organizations responsible for delivering Canada's complex projects.

Why it matters

Canada's complex projects demand more than technical excellence.

Canada is undertaking increasingly complex, long-term defence, infrastructure and technology programs. Their success depends not only on engineering excellence or project-management excellence individually, but on how effectively technical, project, commercial and organizational disciplines work together.

Recurring challenges — communication gaps, inadequate integrated planning, unclear decision authority, poorly defined requirements and limited collaboration — arise when disciplines operate in silos.

ISECPM exists in the space between those silos.
