Engineering Industrial Engineering Systems Design resilience resilience engineering digital infrastructure cognitive systems engineering adaptive capacity business continuity complex adaptive systems organization viability three ways adaptive systems fail This paper explores business continuity and resilience engineering by examining exercises one socio-technical organization used to assess the consequences of breakdowns in with vital digital infrastructure. The first exercise, which is implementation of disaster recovery plans, was conducted with practitioners and technologists at the sharp end of the organizational hierarchy. The second exercise, a risk-based scenario to test large-scale business continuity (aggregate execution of multiple disaster recovery plans), was conducted with administrators and business leaders at the blunt end of the organizational hierarchy. These two exercises together compose the organization’s processes to build resilience. The results contrast how an organization implements disaster recovery tests at smaller, more manageable scales with the use of risk-based simulations at larger scales to prepare to respond to challenge events. The results also demonstrate how a company can build resilience by preparing to manage disruptions to minimize downtime and quickly restore normal business operations. 2012-06-19 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1330986438 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1330986438 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
