Imagine being in a system that demands the best performance to minimize defects or potential errors. It means that everything must be in the right order. The system has to work precisely, correctly, and entirely as designed.
The resembling example is the aviation system. The world of aviation is a world that demands high performance and high integrity. This system is unique, and it is likely the medical world. Small errors in the system can lead to fatal consequences – loss of life.
In contrast, system designers know no system is immune to errors, and users know that no performance is perfect. It is also no surprise that everyone prone to error. For each error a person has made, there is always the immediate outcome. One small thing affects bigger things. Therefore, it is vital to know how components in the system work.
Thus, as we know, there is no perfection in design as it human-made, does an error-free zone, or zero-defect a possibility? or we just rely on ‘errare humanum est’ or ‘to err is human’?
Similarly, discussing this topic cannot be separated from a classical debate on how one sees an error – the Ptolemaic world view and the Copernican world view. These views influenced how one sees human contribution to an accident or incident – looking for ‘who’ to blame or ‘what’ is the cause, which, later, used to decide: removing the ‘who’ or improving people in the system.
The topic will be further discussed on Social Entrepreneurship Sharing Session (Three-S) this October! Throughout October, Dessy Aliandrina and Novianta Hutagalung will share these three things regarding terminology, interrelationships, and examples from various cases. Co-speaker for week two is Heru Wijayanto, Co-founder and operation manager of SocioprenuerID. Co-speaker for week three is Yolanda Hanjani, Co-lead of SociopreneurID Education (SIDEd).
