MIT's Resilience Engineering Approach

MIT's Resilience Engineering Approach focuses on designing and managing systems to smoothly adapt to unexpected challenges and maintain safety and performance. Instead of just preventing failures, it emphasizes understanding how systems can anticipate, respond to, and recover from disruptions. By studying real-world operations and encouraging flexibility, this approach helps organizations build resilience—ability to withstand problems and continue functioning effectively in complex, dynamic environments. It's about fostering robustness, adaptability, and learning to improve system safety and reliability over time.
