Resilience engineering (RE) has been a field of study that has successfully identified and described many instances of resilient performance in high-hazard sectors and in the more frequent cases where individuals and organizations cope with the uncertainties of daily operations. Since its inception in 2006, a steady accumulation of insights and efforts has laid the foundation for practical tools and methods. This development has been documented through a series of texts in the Resilience Engineering Perspectives series, as well as an increasing number of papers and reports.

This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the practical lessons learned from the application of resilience engineering (RE) over the past decade. The main contents are a series of chapters written by key contributors to these applications. Each chapter will include:

Rationale for the overall approach: This section will provide an explanation of the rationale behind the chosen approach and the specific data sought and the reasons for selecting them.

Data sought and reasons for choosing: This section will outline the data sources used and the analyses performed to derive insights. It will also discuss how recommendations were made and implemented in practice.

Data sources used: This section will provide a detailed list of the sources and types of data used in the research.

Data analyses performed: This section will describe the methods and techniques employed to analyze the data, including any statistical or qualitative analysis used.

How recommendations were made and turned into practice: This section will outline the process of making recommendations and how they were implemented in the real-world context.

Serving as a valuable reference for practitioners who wish to analyze, support, and manage resilient performance, this book also advances research into resilience engineering by inquiring into why work goes well in unpredictable environments, improving work performance, or compensating for deficiencies.

In conclusion, resilience engineering has emerged as a powerful field of study that has the potential to enhance the resilience of individuals, organizations, and communities in the face of adversity. By applying the principles and practices of RE, we can build more robust and sustainable systems that are better equipped to cope with the challenges of the 21st century.
