Inqlab provides innovative technologies, complementary services, solutions and expert consultancy to address the increasing complex behaviour of interdependent systems.

Managing, mitigating and monitoring the health of interdependent systems is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century. Recent events demonstrate this.

The Buncefield oil disaster, the Gloucestershire Floods, the Florida/Louisiana oil spill and the Japanese earthquake show that if one ‘system’s’ health fails, it directly effects the health and resilience of another.

To date this risk has been managed by static risk models. These are based on a world view where single systems have single component failures. The likelihood of a single component failure is mitigated and treated in isolation, based on static and often out of date manuals and procedures. Single component failure and subsequent treatment works if every system remains independent.

However, systems are now interdependent and consequently, if a single component failure occurs, it is likely that it will impact on another, thereby threatening both the survival and resilience of potentially the state, organisations and individuals alike.  The management of risk has to become more dynamic to be effective.

Building resilience into every system allows systems to survive and thrive, in the event a risk occurs.
