Simplifying Complexity

@brightsuccess7 Thank you. And yes they will

@BHComplexity Love it! I was sad to see the podcast come to an end. Will the episodes still be available to listen to? Thank You!

In this video, we examine whether you are investigating the right incidents and events inside your organisation from a fatality prevention perspective.

"When you can't measure what's important, you make what you can measure important." This week's video examines how we sometimes choose metrics inside our organisations because they are the only thing we can measure, not because they are a good measure. But just because we can measure it, doesn't mean it's meaningful. Using the TRIF as a measure of how well we are managing fatality risk is a classic example.

Are organisations in high hazard industries going about managing psychosocial risk in an effective manner? Many organisations will have programs, but what are these programs actually designed to achieve? #highreliabilityorganisations #psychosocialrisk

The problem with 'reductionism' when applied to complex systems. For more discussion, go to youtube.com/watch?v=yA13le… #complexsystems #complexity

@rohanmwilliams @NGruen1 @rorysutherland Thank you!

Great, wide-ranging conversation between two original and always insightful people, @NGruen1 and @rorysutherland, that gets even more entertaining as they stray from the original premise!

In this video I apply a complex systems lens to the forensic investigation of the Florida International University Bridge Collapse

In our latest episode of #simplifyingcomplexity, @NGruen1 and @rorysutherland go head to head to debate the virtues (or not) of 'systems thinking'. One of the most entertaining episodes we've ever recorded. Apple Podcasts podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/sim… Spotify open.spotify.com/show/3SfqApqNW…

I talk quite a lot about the importance of taking a 'complex systems' approach to understanding certain systems, such as big organisations or the economy. This approach also provides us with a different way to think about why these systems fail. #complexsystems #highreliabilityorganisations #safety

What causes fatalities in the mining industry? In this short video we discuss one of the key findings from our review into mining fatalities. #mining #highreliabilityorganisations

The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. In essence, it decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for the analysis of the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time domain and the frequency domain, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in ways that are more intuitive and computationally efficient. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.

How am I only discovering this book now. Terrific stuff by @carlorovelli in “Helgoland”
