Suggest that you reference resilient control systems, an existing wikipedia page, that talks about a fundamental element of how organizations remain aware of problems and prevent the mentioned failures. 134.20.11.87 (talk) 13:14, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I do not have time to correct this article, but the earliest reference to "Resilient Organizations" is in the reference below.

Decisions, judgement and style by D.J. Loveridge Long Range Planning Volume 12, Issue 1, February 1979, Pages 22–27 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0024630179900268

Text from page 22 below: However theories of the future of an organization are made, their aggregation lies behind any corporate plan either explicitly or implicitly. The role of theorizing about the future is to bring coherence into developing an organization’s future in the environment which it serves. The importance of the outside world cannot be overstressed. The existence of an organization depends on the outside world’s continuing need for it and its products or services. It is this external judgment which legitimizes the continuity of the organization; there is no way in which the organization can guarantee its own future without ‘listening-in’ to the signals of external legitimization. For this reason alternative theories of the future are the keystone to creating a resilient organization, which is likely to continue to be relevant to the outside world’s needs. There have been many examples of organizations changing their image, their services and their products out of all recognition as external needs have changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.56.193.159 (talk) 01:21, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
