Engineering for failure management, for consistent performance of complex collaborative operations, through team organization, culture, and practices, is... nifty. Aviation, industrial engineering, medicine. An excellent obstetrics team can be breathtaking performance art. An antithesis of Dilbert organizational dysfunction. But wow is the transformation hard - a multi-decade, multi-generational slog. And many industries and professions are still in denial - "we don't have a problem, and anyway, we can't fix it". Decades of work ahead for them. For us.
