Ok, I have nothing to compare this book to. I haven't read others. And you can't get it in the US. The book is published by The Swedish Rescue Services Agency, www.srv.se. The title is descriptive of the authors' premise:
"In a dynamic environment…risk management can no longer be based on responses to past accidents and incidents, but must be increasingly proactive. Risk management must apply an adaptive, closed loop feedback control strategy…(A) human organization presents a particular potential for such adaptive control, given the right conditions — people are a very important safety resource, not only an error source."
That "important safety resource" is the same as the capacity for autonomic project controls. It is the untapped observation and assessment abilities of the project participants scattered about our work sites. We need to learn to call on that capability, to develop it further, and to redefine the (arbitrary) boundaries of planning, execution, and control.
