Introducing Resilience Engineering
- Introduce resilience engineering with thought-provoking yet accessible materials.
- Start discussions with "How Complex Systems Fail" by Richard Cook for its clear and concise insights.
Tech's Not Special
- Tech isn't special; other hazardous industries offer valuable lessons.
- Many of our tech influences originated outside the tech world.
Root Cause is Fiction
- Root cause analysis is a flawed concept in complex systems.
- Multiple, interacting factors contribute to failures, not single root causes.
