"If it can be built, it can fall apart: a cautionary study in how complex systems can easily go awry."
Join Indigo Digital for an intimate conversation with András Tilcsik as he shares stories from his new book "Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail And What We Can Do About It" (with Chris Clearfield) on how complexity causes failure in all kinds of modern systems – from social media to air travel – and reveals how we can prevent meltdowns in business and life.

More on Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It
A crash on the Washington, D.C. metro system. An accidental overdose in a state-of-the-art hospital. An overcooked holiday meal. At first glance, these disasters seem to have little in common. But surprising new research shows that all these events—and the myriad failures that dominate headlines every day—share similar causes. By understanding what lies behind these failures, we can design better systems, make our teams more productive, and transform how we make decisions at work and at home.
