Let me try to explain the connection.</p> <p>For the past few decades, I have been hoping to do something to assist the ISSS in growing and becoming an organization that is as important and influential as I know it should be. I am convinced that the system safety process is highly effective and efficient at reducing risks while adding important fiscal and social value to products and systems of all kinds. I believe it is the duty/role of the ISSS to foster that process and help expand it into all industries and processes worldwide. The dual approach of integrating engineering and management practices into the process of designing, implementing and “fielding” products and systems holds the promise of a better, safer, more environmentally appropriate future. In short, I think it is a big deal.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of System Safety}, author={Hoes, Charles}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={9–10} }
