Is Perseverance enough to succeed?
Entrepreneurs, innovators and engineers celebrate Edison for his legendary perseverance - for trying 1,000 times to find a solution. But is sheer tenacity enough? In today's competitive landscape, many initiatives fail not from a lack of will, but from a lack of runway. Teams run out of budget, motivation erodes after repeated setbacks, and the cost of discovery can make the project financially unviable. The real challenge isn't just to persevere, but to realize the vision by effectively applying all available resources—human, technical, and financial.
The Cost of Not using Systems Engineering
When organizations skip systems engineering (SE) practices, they face predictable and costly consequences. The data below illustrates the dramatic economic difference between brute-force attempts and a structured engineering approach. Investing in these practices isn't an expense—it's the best investment you can make to ensure your perseverance pays off.
The Solution: Structured Engineering Approach
Systems Engineering provides the necessary tools to solve the challenges faced by innovators, engineers, and entrepreneurs alike.
Mitigate Risk
Identify and address potential failures before they happen, preventing catastrophic losses
The cost to fix a defect increases 10x at every development stage it goes undetected
Reduce Costs
Eliminate waste from rework and prevent budget overruns through disciplined processes
50% of all project rework is a direct result of requirements errors—pure, avoidable waste
Accelerate Delivery
Ship faster with confidence by catching issues early and maintaining clear requirements
Projects with thorough architecture had up to 92% lower costs on very large software projects
