Many companies become frustrated with their postmortem and incident review process, feeling that it is a burden, or that it does not provide meaningful insights, or that the repairs and learnings generated do not help prevent repeats or other incidents. Fortunately, there is a better way to do things, backed by decades of scientific rigor and proven in industries where outages can mean a lot worse than lost revenue.
Join our fictional company, "Potato Systems‚" as they deal with the aftermath of a catastrophic incident. As they struggle to learn from it and move forward, they—and we—will come to understand the stark contrast in outcomes and effectiveness of Safety I vs Safety II thinking.
