Sample text
The second essential ingredient of a resilient system is selection. Resilient systems all have some mechanism for “choosing” between competing strategies and designs. We normally think of the selection process as being undertaken by individuals or leaders. Yet we can also think of selection that is constantly being undertaken by impersonal forces such as the market. Markets are resilient because they encourage variety and diversity, and because they are a highly effective way of selecting “fit” strategies or designs, and then replicating and scaling them up.
Greater disclosure of information that is jealously guarded by public agencies and greater transparency of government’s decision-making processes bolster trust in our system of governance and enhance government’s credibility. Encouraging greater variety may also mean instituting the practice of red teams versus blue teams across government to encourage a healthy contest of ideas. Because the executive branch in the government has been a highly successful one, and one that has been relatively insulated from competition, the risks of insufficient variety and of inadequate pressures for it to adapt are quite real.
Resilience — whether of an ecological system, an organisation, or a species — is usually a function of two things. First, a resilient system is one that has been exposed to a variety of shocks. Each of these shocks is not large enough to destroy the system but, over time, they force the system to adapt and to develop capabilities to respond to a wider range of shocks and stimuli. Conversely, systems that are fragile are those that have been insulated from external shocks or protected from competition.
