Objective

Develop
a
robust
tool
for
monitoring
organizational resilience.

Implement the tool at a nuclear power plant to
measure and follow human performance events
including organizational performance.

Track trends in order to identify time periods
where
the
likelihood
of
consequential events increases.

Summary
 A proposed leading performance indicator was developed to predict
increased likelihoods of consequential events
 Organizational resilience can be modeled based on a stress-strain
analogy
 Data represents actual plant events and operating history for
consequential events
 Plant to plant variability would be expected and plant specific analysis is
needed to determine resilience thresholds
 Additional work is needed to collect more data to determine the level of
robustness of the approach and to begin developing organization
specific consequential events and associated organizational specific
thresholds
