Sonja Blignaut is a complexity expert. That might not sound relevant to incident response in reliability engineering. But it is!
Our systems are becoming more complex and so are the resulting incidents.
Learning about complexity can help reliability folk go into an incident with less anxiety, which we’ll explore in this episode.
We'll explore the causes of complexity in incidents and how the Cynefin framework classifies incidents.
We'll also deep dive into the concept of complexity itself and dispel a common issue where it gets mixed up with complicatedness.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
