At the Re-Deploy conference in 2019, our colleague Dr. Richard Cook gave one of the most cogent and clear talks on descriptions of resilience and resilience engineering that I’ve yet to come across. This work is only represented in this conference talk form — Richard did not capture this exceptional description in an article or written form before he died in 2022.
I’m embedding the video below, but I’m also including an interactive transcript for those who prefer reading rather than watching and listening.
If you’ve at all been interested in resilience and Resilience Engineering, I really do recommend spending the time to see this.
