And there is symmetry between cause and effect: the seriousness of the effect is related to the seriousness of the cause – big failures happen because of big causes\, and small failures because of small ones. \nBut intuitively we know this doesn’t hold up for certain\, so-called ‘complex’\, systems. Instead\, we can have sudden changes in these systems\, which often appear dramatic\, but which have tiny causes. How then should we think about failure or dramatic change in these types of systems? \nThis session explores this question by examining the organisational causes of the two Boeing 737 MAX crashes that resulted in the deaths of 346 people. \nThis session comprises a presentation delivered by Sean Brady (Managing Director and Forensic Engineer at Brady Heywood)\, followed by a facilitated Q&A. \n  \n\nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nSean Brady is a forensic engineer who investigates engineering failures from a technical and organisational perspective.
