Glasgow Caledonian University | ​​Resilience Engineered Episode 1: Preparing for an uncertain future

Future and these assumptions often do not adequately acknowledge the uncertainty associated with the future operation of the systems. Our assumptions about “what are the chances” shape our thinking about the future and how we should prepare for it. We should be asking ourselves some deep questions: How do we plan well for a future that we can’t predict? What is our goal for the future and how do we do things differently in how we design for that today? The episode establishes broad definitions of risk, uncertainty and resilience – and how these definitions shape our approach to making decisions. It describes how we need to think about the future beyond placing probabilities on certain events happening.

Resilience Engineered is a three-part series on some of the most pressing challenges associated with 21st Century infrastructure systems development, with the concept of resilience as the underlying theme.

This session will screen the first episode of Resilience Engineered (26 mins), which will be followed by a discussion with Dr Kristen MacAskill who hosts the series. There will be time for a Q&A.
