    • AI Scaffolding and the Judo-throw of Engineering Resistance

      AI Scaffolding and the Judo-throw of Engineering Resistance
      Jan 27 2026
      This week, Josh Corman and Chad Jackson explore AI-assisted workflows in engineering, break down how internal resistance can actually improve improve transformation outcomes, and dig into the pain points associated with MBSE adoption. In this episode, we discuss:
      • AI-Native Workflows: We deconstruct the concept of “AI Scaffolding”—a method to provide engineering models with a “memory” by using document-based inputs to maintain constraints and context.
      • Reframing Resistance: Chad introduces the “Judo Throw” of resistance, explaining how savvy change agents use pushback to build investment and uncover project-threatening flaws early.
      • The Systems Engineering Struggle: Why the #2 challenge for MBSE is the learning curve, and how AI-powered “vibe coding” might help simplify SysML modeling.
      • Research Findings: Insights from our recent study and what we’re learning from the 300+ respondents.

    • Engineering Culture, Failure, and the “Right Side of the V” with Guy Zur

      Engineering Culture, Failure, and the “Right Side of the V” with Guy Zur
      Jan 22 2026
      In this episode, Chad sits down with Guy Zur, Director of Test Systems and Automation at CARIAD (Volkswagen Group). A self-proclaimed “change agent” born with a soldering iron in his hand, Guy shares his fascinating journey from designing thermal imaging for defense to developing AR glasses for pilots and now revolutionizing automotive testing. We dive deep into the philosophy of the “Change Agent”—why leadership requires proactively steering organizations through resistance—and explore the critical role of the “Right Side of the V” in systems engineering. Guy opens up about the valuable lessons learned from startup failure, why he champions transparency in engineering culture, and his “Design to Test” approach that ensures quality from day one. Whether you are an engineer, a leader, or interested in the complex systems behind autonomous vehicles and aviation, this conversation offers actionable insights on building resilient teams and robust products. Key Topics Discussed
      • Defining the Change Agent: What it takes to be a revolutionary leader in engineering organizations.
      • The Origin Story: Guy’s path from FPGA design in Israel to aviation and autonomous vehicles in North America.
      • Embracing Failure: Why hiding mistakes kills innovation and how transparency builds safer, smarter teams.
      • Systems Engineering Strategy: A look at Document-Based approaches vs. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
      • Design to Test: How defining test procedures before development begins saves time and money.
      • The V-Model: Mastering the integration and verification phases (the “Right Side of the V”).
      Guest Bio Guy Zur is the Director of Test Systems and Automation at CARIAD US. With a diverse background spanning the defense, aviation, and automotive industries, Guy specializes in hardware-software integration and testing for complex systems. He has previously held roles at Elbit Systems, Honeywell, and Motional, working on cutting-edge technologies like commercial aviation AR glasses and autonomous vehicle systems.

    • Weekly Roundup: AI Gaps, Change Agent Research, and New Community Programs

      Weekly Roundup: AI Gaps, Change Agent Research, and New Community Programs
      Jan 20 2026
      Is the “Digital Thread” a utopian dream or a practical reality? In this week’s episode of Change by Design, Josh Corman and Chad Jackson explore the tension between the technology that can capture everything and the engineering reality where critical context often lives in spreadsheets and hallway conversations. We discuss why “hiding” work-in-process data might be efficient for humans but disastrous for future AI agents. If an AI stakeholder can only see the final decision and not the messy options you rejected, can it ever truly learn? Plus, big news for the Lifecycle Insights community: We are launching two major initiatives to let you drive our future research. Key Topics Discussed:
      • The Digital Thread Reality Check: Why capturing 100% of engineering data often creates more bureaucracy than value.
      • New Research Findings: What we've learned about change agents and their additional IT and design/development responsibilities.
      • AI’s Blind Spot: How undocumented decision-making processes create a massive gap in training data for autonomous AI agents.
      • Community Announcements: Details on the new Founders Program (early platform access) and Advisory Councils (strategic quarterly input).
