The creation and development of projects at these agencies impacts multiple layers of stakeholders\, who\, in the collectiv e experience of the authors\, are often not involved in the project until the middle or end of the development phase or not until they have to use t he system. These neglected end users and influencers of the system do not have a timely voice – they are effectively excluded.\n\nThis paper advoc ates for the early engagement of all defined stakeholders\; the obvious an d the unconventional\, both internal and external to the agency. This pape r does not provide a detailed ConOps process but rather defines what a Con Ops is\, why it is necessary\, and at what stage in the project should one be developed. The principal conversation herein focuses on how to determi ne who the audience is for the system of interest (SOI) and ways to engage them. The paper describes a holistic approach to the creation and develop ment of a ConOps deliverable by engaging the audience\, who become stakeho lders and effectively\, authors. This paper concludes with a case study en compassing the discussion.\n\nAuthors:\n\nDale Brown - Hatch\, Chicago\, I L\nWilliam Gleckler - Metropolitan Transit Authority\, New York\, NY\nCham ara Johnson - WSP\, New York\, NY\nDevon McDonnell - WSP\, New York\, NY\n Allison Ruggiero - Metropolitan Transit Authority\, New York\, NY\nDenis S impson - WSP\, London\, UK\n\nCo-sponsored by: INCOSE Liberty Chapter and APTA Systems Engineering Subcommittee\n\nSpeaker(s): Dale Brown\, Chamara Johnson\n\nAgenda: \n5:30 - Check-in & refreshments\n\n6:00 - Begin Presen tation\n\n6:30 - Q&A\n\nBldg: Jacobs Engineering Office\, 1 Penn Plaza\, 5 4th Floor\, Suite 5420\, New York\, New York\, United States\, 10119\, Vir tual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/333132 LOCATION:Bldg: Jacobs Engineering Office\, 1 Penn Plaza\, 54th Floor\, Suit e 5420\, New York\, New York\, United States\, 10119\, Virtual: https://ev ents.vtools.ieee.org/m/333132 ORGANIZER:chamarajohnson@ieee.org SEQUENCE:19 SUMMARY:INCOSE\, APTA\, and IEEE NY VTS - Technology Forum URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/333132 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Please join the <span style="font-size: 14 pt\; color: #3598db\;"><strong>INCOSE Liberty Chapter</strong><span style= "color: #000000\;">\,</span><strong> <span style="color: #e03e2d\;">APTA S ystems Engineering Subcommittee</span></strong><span style="color: #000000 \;">\, </span></span>and the <span style="color: #236fa1\;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt\;">IEEE NY Vehicular Technology Society </span></st rong></span>in a joint forum\,</p>\n<p>Presenting the paper <span style="f ont-size: 14pt\;"><strong>Storytime\, Audience to Authors: <em>Enhancing S takeholder Engagement</em></strong>.</span>&nbsp\;*Recipient of the <em>32 nd Annual International Symposium Best Paper Award</em> by INCOSE Technica l Operations.</p>\n<p><span style="text-decoration: underline\;">Paper Abs tract:</span></p>\n<p>This paper is largely aimed at Public Agencies\, suc h as Infrastructure and Transit authorities.
