Integrating stability and flexibility in complex socio-technical systems: the case of the GB rail system

Conventional approaches to operational safety management rely on centralised hierarchical control structures, emphasising strict adherence to standards to minimise risks and uncertainty. This method aims to maintain stability and reduce variability in processes and behaviours, creating a predictable...
