“Under the presence of strong gradients behaviour will very likely migrate toward the boundary of acceptable performance”
“Rather than striving to control behaviour by fighting deviations from a particular pre-planned path, the focus should be on the control of behaviour by making the boundaries explicit and known and by giving opportunities to develop coping skills at boundaries” (Emphasis added)

+ANTICIPATING
Scenario-thinking
Getting little things right
Switched on/vigilant to what can go wrong (risk aware)
Cognitive bias mitigation (e.g. countering routine, familiarity, what is easily remembered)
15
![Page 16: Navigating the edge of risk](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f0db071a28ab1f6a8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MONITORING
Switched on/Vigilant/Alert (for signal detection/change)
Stop and think - hold points/cross check/pause at critical steps
Multiple perspectives, cold eyes review
Cognitive bias mitigation

+RESPONDING
Experienced people
Know the safety margins, one’s own limitations
Open up communications.
Bring together people who can help to reduce the uncertainty.
Use of golden rules/principles (“lines in the sand”)
Time and (multiple) options available (redundancy/flexibility)
Cognitive bias mitigation (e.g. summit fever, aura of the expert, knee jerk reactions)

+LEARNING
Self-reflection, willing to learn
Communication/feedback/trust
Support decisions under high time pressure and uncertainty
Analyse, discuss & expand events
Simulation training
Capture & record
Cognitive bias mitigation (learning)

“Standard work methods are important for standard work, but when things are happening that are not standard and the organisation is only built around these standard procedures, you will lack people that have the possibility to think thoroughly. “

Standard Risk Management Interventions
Constraint, control
Coping with foreseen risks and avoiding things going wrong (failures)
Standards, rules and procedures
Designed-in risk control measures
Resilience Interventions (close to edge)
Adaptive & involved
Coping with unforeseen risks and recovering from deviations
Uncertainty reducing
Multiple options – redundancy, diversity
Questioning, second options
What kind of interventions?

Strategic•High Level Risk Analysis (Annual)•BowTie Models covering operational phases•Based on global and local experience•Build on shared models (eg CARM)
Tactical•Monthly Analysis•Tracking trends in BowTie Data•Barrier Management•BT based investigation and audit
Operational•Live process•Shared role of organisation and individual•Train and support individuals for resilient behaviour in high uncertainty/time compressed situations

+Summary
Operating pressures can push organisational and individual behaviour towards the safety boundary.
Resilient organisations must:
Understand and make explicit the boundaries
Learn to operate at the edge
Recognise the limitations of standard risk management closer to the edge
Support, select and train individuals for resilient behaviours at the edge under conditions of uncertainty and time pressures
BowTie risk models can
Map the risk landscape around the edge
Measure performance dynamically using existing data sources
