[ Testable ]

Quite a bit of work in today’s world is untested.  It’s not thoroughly checked for ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.  There’s no established way to test creative processes or how the innovative ‘spark’ of an idea came to be.

The idea of ‘drift into failure’, by Dekker in 2011, captures safety complexity where small everyday decisions eventually produce breakdowns on a massive scale.

This happens with technical knowledge work, if it’s not tested.  When we successfully complete tasks, without feedback where it might not have been done right, we miss out on the learning and growing that goes with being wrong sometimes.
