Hi Adam!

Hi Adam! You can read about my personal introduction to Resilience Engineering at a week-long intensive workshop in Sweden here: https://ballpointscimitar.medium.com/hf-day-1-first-and-second-stories-5ff293988c7d Alternatively, the intro on the REA website is a great place to start: https://www.resilience-engineering-association.org/resources/where-do-i-start/ The intro was written by another techie named Lorin, with whom I interact regularly as part of the https://www.learningfromincidents.io/ community.

Newsletter: Roll the Bones!

Hello all. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve begun a weekly newsletter comprised of links to interesting content. If you find what I write here interesting, you will probably find the things I read compelling as well. You can read or subscribe to the newsletter here. I’ll still be writing articles here, of course. Next up will be something about the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), which I’m currently evaluating for use at my day job (and more generally).
