Panic and innovation?
Burning oil platform analogy:
-- Swim?
-- Jump?
-- Burn?
-- I might drown, You will burn.
-- What is my jump threshold?
-- If I jump, should I be concerned in what direction to jump?
-- I know I am jumping in to water...Will there be sharks?
-- I know I am jumping in to water...Will I drown?
-- I know if I jump I reduce the probability of death... If I stay I know I will burn to death.
-- It is a sure thing that I will burn if I stay.
What kinds of innovation does panic cause? Coming up April 14/15 is the anniversary of one of the great disasters of the 20th century, the Titanic sinking. April 14th, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank early on the morning on April 15th.
Some thoughts to consider:
- What could the captain, crew, or passengers have done to save the ship?
- What could have been done to delay the sinking?
- What could have been done to get closer to saving more lives?
- What could have been done to communicate differently with other ships and get them to come sooner?
Stay tuned.
