HSI Organizations
There are numerous organizations that employ an HSI approach to the
development of their assets and systems. The list below contains a
sampling of those organizations.
Board on Human Systems Integration (BOHSI)
The Board on Human-Systems Integration has a broad mandate that
includes providing new perspectives on theoretical and methodological issues
concerning the relationship of individuals and organizations to technology
and the environment; identifying critical issues in the design, test,
evaluation, and use of new human-centered technologies; and advising
sponsors on the research needed to expand the scientific and technical bases
for designing technology to support the needs of its users.
