23. Both Peers in the Promotion of Systems Engineering
NDIA has ~80 years more History
NDIA has ~10 times more Members
NDIA has a clear and intentional US bias
NDIA has a clear and intentional DoD agenda
INCOSE strives to be International
INCOSE strives to relate to multiple Domains
INCOSE interacts more with the local and individual
engineer
