RESILIENCE ENGINEERING

Resilience Engineering is an approach that aims to help organisations manage complexity. Current models of safety and efficiency often describe people as the "problem" in an organisation, and devise strategies to eliminate them. However, people, through their adaptability, are actually a key source of resilience in complex systems... The traditional view of safety (known as ‘Safety I') is to prevent things from going wrong. However, the new view (‘Safety II') is that safety is the ability to succeed under varying conditions. Resilience Engineering aims to increase the number of things that go right, rather than to reduce the number of things that go wrong... Resilience Engineering tools, methods and case studies
