Overview
What you will study
- Our organizations- designed for optimal performance- work well under normal conditions but are vulnerable to failure when the unexpected occurs. How do we design systems that work efficiently under typical conditions, yet respond resiliently to “unknown unknowns”?
- The Building Organizational Resilience - A System Approach to Mitigating Risk and Uncertainty course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will help you learn how systems thinking and continuous improvement can help your team identify problems before they occur and alter your organization’s ability to effectively respond when they do.
- Understand the role hidden factories and irregular operations play in contributing to catastrophic events, and how this knowledge can be leveraged to reverse their effects. Leave with a playbook for improving the resilience of your company.
