Human systems integration (HSI) ensures human strengths and limitations are taken into consideration throughout the system design, development, and acquisition process. Regardless of the organization in which HSI practitioners work, the nature of their work involves interfacing with various organizational, system, and user stakeholders. The cross-service DoD and industry panelists will briefly discuss their diverse experiences and perspectives regarding human systems integration, working with various HSI stakeholders, and personal lessons learned (i.e., successes and challenges). The sharing of cross-service and industry lessons learned aims to prepare other HSI practitioners to effectively work and interact with various stakeholders. This knowledge exchange also encourages continued collaboration between HSI practitioners and aims to expand HSI across contexts, environments, and system stakeholders.

FEATURE AT A GLANCE: Our goal is to provide examples that demonstrate the risk reduction benefits of human-systems integration (HSI), a crucial part of successful and efficient system design. It supplements Booher and Minninger's 2003 work by providing parallel examples in nonmilitary domains for a subset of their HSI success factors, and explaining how risk was or could have been avoided, transferred, assumed, or mitigated through the use of HSI. Because benefits of HSI include reducing costs and improving safety, acceptance, and performance, those in any work domain should consider whether HSI should have a larger role in their system design process.

The field of Human Systems Integration (HSI) is continuing to evolve with the ever-changing nature of the federal acquisition process. Revisions to the Department of Defense acquisition policy codified in DoDI 5000.02 (2015) advocate greater flexibility in the acquisition process to address challenges in a rapidly changing threat environment. Similarly, new priorities for space exploration demand a more agile and responsive acquisition process at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The purpose of this panel is to provide the Human Factors community insight into the current challenges faced by the field of HSI in response to a dynamic federal acquisition landscape. A panel of experts from Industry, NASA, Army, and Air Force discuss how their agencies are responding to these challenges.
