Abstract:  Summary: Leaders transforming their organization to be more model-based engineering (MBE) capable must make sense of jargon and many ideas before setting targets with their stakeholders.  They would like to provide enough model-based capabilities to get their job done and phase it in to minimize disruption. The INCOSE Model-Based Capabilities Matrix and User’s Guide characterizes the model-based capabilities needed as an enhanced set of stages that enables self-assessments and then plans evolution.  The recently published INCOSE Matrix and User’s Guide, have resulted from two years of continuous use and refinement across INCOSE peers. The Matrix and User’s Guide information presented familiarizes their use while a workshop provides the opportunity to gain experience applying them.
