Resilience in a Digital Age
In recent years, decision-makers from all sectors have been using 'resilience' as a keyword for managing societal turbulences. But what is resilience? How can we benefit from integrating digital transformation and resilience? In this book, some of the world's leading experts on resilience explore the issue and discuss possible answers to these questions. The editors of this book believe that resilience is the master key for the future. However, they also remind us that people are at the base of any process of resilience and, only by placing people at the center of transformation, can we aspire to have resilient organizations and a resilient society.
Resilience Engineering in Practice, Volume 2
This is the fifth book published within the Ashgate Studies in Resilience Engineering series. The first volume introduced resilience engineering broadly. The second and third volumes established the research foundation for the real-world applications that then were described in the fourth volume: Resilience Engineering in Practice. The current volume continues this development by focusing on the role of resilience in the development of solutions. Since its inception, the development of resilience engineering as a concept and a field of practice has insisted on expanding the scope from a preoccupation with failure to include also the acceptable everyday functioning of a system or an organisation. The preoccupation with failures and adverse outcomes focuses on situations where something goes wrong and the tries to keep the number of such events and their (adverse) outcomes as low as possible. The aim of resilience engineering and of this volume is to describe how safety can change from being protective to become productive and increase the number of things that go right by improving the resilience of the system.
Safety Differently
The second edition of a bestseller, Safety Differently: Human Factors for a New Era is a complete update of Ten Questions About Human Error: A New View of Human Factors and System Safety. Today, the unrelenting pace of technology change and growth of complexity calls for a different kind of safety thinking. Automation and new technologies have resu

Innovation in Crisis Management
This book deals with how to measure innovation in crisis management, drawing on data, case studies, and lessons learnt from different European countries. The aim of this book is to tackle innovation in crisis management through lessons learnt and experiences gained from the implementation of mixed methods through a practitioner-driven approach in a large-scale demonstration project (DRIVER+). It explores innovation from the perspective of the end-users by focusing on the needs and problems they are trying to address through a tool (be it an app, a drone, or a training program) and takes a deep dive into what is needed to understand if and to what extent the tool they have in mind can really bring innovation. This book is a toolkit for readers interested in understanding what needs to be in place to measure innovation: it provides the know-how through examples and best practices. The book will be a valuable source of knowledge for scientists, practitioners, researchers, and postgraduate students studying safety, crisis management, and innovation.
Proceedings of the Fourth Resilience Engineering Symposium
These proceedings document the various presentations at the Fourth Resilience Engineering Symposium held on June 8-10, 2011, in Sophia-Antipolis, France. The Symposium gathered participants from five continents and provided them with a forum to exchange experiences and problems, and to learn about Resilience Engineering from the latest scientific achievements to recent practical applications. The First Resilience Engineering Symposium was held in Söderköping, Sweden, on October 25-29 2004. The Second Resilience Engineering Symposium was held in Juan-les-Pins, France, on November 8-10 2006, The Third Resilience Engineering Symposium was held in Juan-les-Pins, France, on October 28-30 2008. ...
Interkulturelle Kompetenz
Der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' entstand Anfang der 1990er Jahre im Zusammenhang mit der Frage, wie die Herausforderungen von Globalisierung und Multikulturalisierung der Gesellschaft auf der individuellen Handlungsebene bewältigt werden können. Heute ist der Begriff 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' alltäglich geworden; erfolgreich und angemessen mit Menschen umgehen zu können, die kulturell unterunterschiedlich orientiert sind, ist in allen Bereichen des privaten, öffentlichen und beruflichen Lebens eine nachgefragte Fähigkeit. In den Wissenschaften ist 'interkulturelle Kompetenz' dagegen ein umstrittenes Konstrukt. Die Diskrepanz zwischen praktischer Relevanz und theoretischer Fra...
Nova Visão de Segurança no trabalho
Bem-vindos à nossa jornada! Vários autores, entre acadêmicos, consultores e profissionais sêniores, se juntaram para trazer luz à necessidade urgente de dar um novo significado à segurança no trabalho. Afinal, a ausência de acidentes no passado não é capaz de assegurar a sustentabilidade de um negócio. O cumprimento dos requisitos legais não é sinônimo de segurança no trabalho. Então, o que é esta Nova Visão? É uma forma de reconhecer as organizações como sistemas complexos. Nessa complexidade está aquele(a) que pode propor soluções e melhorar cada vez mais o ambiente laboral – o(a) trabalhador(a). Ainda hoje, poucos compreendem o óbvio: “erro é normal e todas a...
Crises et simulations - Exercices, apprentissages, modélisations, gestion et anticipation des crises
Contrairement à ce que son titre pourrait laisser penser, cet ouvrage n'est pas un guide pratique qui propose des fiches ou des exercices de simulation de gestion de crise. Cet ouvrage ambitieux, le premier du genre en langue française, est le fruit de plusieurs années d'expérience dans le domaine de la simulation de gestion de crise. Il porte une exigence académique : démontrer que la simulation est une méthode efficace pour se former et faire de la recherche sur les crises. La diversité des terrains investis par les chercheurs et praticiens qui ont participé à ce projet collectif témoigne de la richesse qui existe en la matière, mais aussi des limites inhérentes à cette méth...
