2020-21 Wk 2 Risk Man: How system ‘architectures’ can shape vulnerability to failure by Rothstein, Henry https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7 en-us 2021-01-21 22:05:10 UTC 2025-11-17 22:33:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Tasks for Live Session henryrothstein1 https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1112291805 TASK 1

1) Each group to discuss how to position the five cases on the 2x2 matrix in the powerpoint template (the cases will be added to padlet on the day of the live session)
 2) One person in each group to download the template and
rearrange the risks to reflect group discussion
 3) Upload the revised powerpoint slide to padlet, entitling
your slide with a memorable group name.
 4) Be prepared to explain your decisions in the plenary
session 

TASK 2

1) Wider discussion within your group of the way that system architectures can shape vulnerability to, or protect against, failure, reflecting on questions such as : is redundancy and/or resilience always a good thing? Is loose coupling always desirable? Do different kind of risk (eg physical, legal, political, reputational) require different kinds of system design? 
 
2) See if you can find examples of failures (or even conversely successes?) that illustrate the key issues that you think are relevant to what you have read for this session. Some example to get you going might include this story that broke last week: ‘Priti Patel under fire as 150,000 police records accidentally lost’ or this story from back in 2007 ‘UK government loses data on 25 million Britons’.
 
3) Be prepared to discuss your thoughts and examples in the plenary session

i) No, if components are independent of the first system, avoid repeat problems compounding. 
Resilience- provides its positives by informing / assisting in preparedness. Albeit from a political stance and lacking in guidance thus open to interpretation and difficult to be implemented properly. 

- Loose coupling not always desirable. Certain systems require them to function

Different kinds of risks will require different system designs, reasons include varying inherent risk in certain fields eg. reputation being a secondary risk etc.

Task 2: 
Resilience: not always good, as it can increase complexity and inter-dependencies, thus resulting in new risks
Different kind of risks: do require different kinds of system design, as depending on the risk we are dealing with, the legal/physical/etc. spheres are quite different from each other in terms of complexity alone.]]> 2021-01-28 09:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135493096 Nameless https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135497978 2021-01-28 09:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135497978 Beca, Sophie, Kamille and Leok beca98 https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135508042 2021-01-28 09:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135508042 Jad, Gus, Alex, Maria and Rimah https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135509626 2021-01-28 09:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/henryrothstein1/1ojox0dvsi96m9w7/wish/1135509626
