Are determined to avoid failure, so they think about failure a lot. They study it carefully when it happens. Do not simplify easily or prematurely. They're OK with messy. They worry more about jumping to conclusions. Are designed for resilience--multiple eyes, 360 degrees awareness. Are operations and process-oriented. They care about the means--the ends can never justify the means because you are always striving to identify predictable, reliable causal relationships. Defer to knowledge and expertise, i.e. not just to organizational relationships and hierarchy.
High Reliability, High Risk Organizations....
