We all Rely on Human + Technology, or Sociotechnical Systems
A system is a set of connected parts that work together to achieve a purpose, like a car’s engine, a business, or even the human body.
A socio-technical system is one where human and technology must work closely together to achieve their purpose.
Many sociotechnical systems rely heavily on humans to function. From healthcare to government to business, humans remain central to many organizations.
Yet Human Systems Often Do Not Adequately Manage Risk
At BRITE Institute, we specialize in improving socio-technical systems. We utilize engineering techniques and best practice often developed for technical systems and adapt these for human systems.
We want to help translate the success of technically dominated systems...
... to help reduce failures in human dominated systems.
