This was a compelling book, very well structured with plenty of direct quotes and context to help non-specialists understand first the U.S. military operations that were involved, then the mechanisms driving the system toward an accident. I would likely have rated it closer to 4.5, but my edition of the book had some formatting/typesetting problems that made it hard to read in places—em dashes and footnote references in the body of the book were getting smushed into the text. This is a very, very good book though and I definitely recommend it. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
On April 14, 1994, two U.S. Air Force F-15 fighters accidentally shot down two U.S. Army Black Hawk Helicopters over Northern Iraq, killing all twenty-six peacekeepers onboard. In response to this disaster the complete array of military and civilian investigative and judicial procedures ran their course. After almost two years of investigation with virtually unlimited resources, no culprit emerged, no bad guy showed himself, no smoking gun was found. This book attempts to make sense of this tragedy--a tragedy that on its surface makes no sense at all. With almost twenty years in uniform and a Ph.D. in organizational behavior, Lieutenant Colonel Snook writes from a unique perspective. A victim of friendly fire himself, he develops individual, group, organizational, and cross-level accounts of the accident and applies a rigorous analysis based on behavioral science theory to account for critical links in the causal chain of events. By explaining separate pieces of the puzzle, and analyzing each at a different level, the author removes much of the mystery surrounding the shootdown. Based on a grounded theory analysis, Snook offers a dynamic, cross-level mechanism he calls "practical drift"--the slow, steady uncoupling of practice from written procedure--to complete his explanation. His conclusion is disturbing. This accident happened because, or perhaps in spite of everyone behaving just the way we would expect them to behave, just the way theory would predict. The shootdown was a normal accident in a highly reliable organization. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Dit blog volgt grotendeels de lijn van het boek. Eerst wordt het incident kort beschreven. Daarna volgt de formele analyse van het systeem: de individuele, groeps en organisatiefactoren. Met de conclusie dat het een normal accident in een high reliability organization was.
Dit beschrijvende stuk wordt vervolgd met een discussie over de factor irrationaliteit en in hoeverre je dat zou moeten meenemen in het ontwerp van veilige systemen en werkomgevingen. Dat miste ik namelijk in Friendly Fire toen ik het zat te lezen. Het popte als vanzelf in me op, mede door sommige gebeurtenissen uit mijn eigen praktijk waar ik geen rationele verklaring voor had.
