Resilience Engineering and Leadership in Crisis examines the qualities and practices of leadership amid conditions of uncertainty, chaos, or catastrophic system breakdowns. Within the complex 21st century risk environment, critical infrastructures essential to public health, safety, and well-being are inherently vulnerable to cascading failures. The cascading effect of system failures reflects the interdependence among systems and adds to the complexity of effective resilience leadership, which may require interaction across multiple operating domains. The nature of such unknown or unanticipated threats challenge leaders to be prepared. This specialization introduces resilience concepts with applications to resilience engineering and crisis leadership. The courses draw on resilience policy and contemporary literature to construct a holistic understanding of resilience as dynamic processes embedded within and among complex systems. With a focus on socio-technical systems, these courses identify processes, tools, and methods to measure or approximate their essential qualities and characteristics. They also examine how knowledge from resilience assessments can influence leadership strategies and organizational plans for navigating ongoing threat vulnerability. Case studies and current events like COVID-19, industrial accidents, and climate change will provide a context for identifying the qualities, characteristics, and practices of resilience leadership.

    Resilience & Leadership: Concepts, Definitions, & Frameworks is the first course in the specialization ‘Resilience Engineering and Leadership in Crisis’. The course introduces the common terms, definitions, and concepts that characterize resilient systems. Frameworks for resilience engineering and leadership in crisis are applied to complex systems and the built environment. Learners will explore a holistic approach to critical infrastructure resilience and apply a hazard and threat assessment protocol to a project scenario. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
