Open café is a response to the increased of organised online meetings, webinars and workshops. Within open café the organisers must “let go” of detailed organisation recognising that participants together will develop a richer content to the challenge at hand. (“The law of click and exit” – if you find yourself neither learning or contributing, you can go somewhere else. This way, participants are given full responsibility over their learning and contributions).
This talk will cover strategies to deal with crisis from a resilience engineering perspective. As preparation, we invite you to look into 5 min video or to read the following article available here “Bets against the Odds in a Pandemic: which of the three Coronavirus bets are you willing to gamble on?“
Speaker Bio
Professor David Woods (Ohio State University, USA), and former president of both the Resilience Engineering Association, and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. For over forty years, he has worked to improve systems safety in high risk settings and advised organisations on critical issues in human-machine systems. These include studies of human coordination with automated and intelligent systems (check out these videos here and here), and accident investigations in aviation, nuclear power, critical care medicine, crisis response, military operations, and space operations. He started the SNAFU Catchers Consortium in industry-university partnership to build resilience in business-critical digital services. His work in resilience engineering has led to the first comprehensive theory on how systems can build the potential for resilient performance despite complexity.
The talk will be moderated by Ivonne Herrera (Research Council of Norway)
