1CONTROL AND RESPONSE IN DEEP WATER HORIZON
Introduction
Control and fast response is an approach towards the managing of the complex project.
The complexity of the project includes the uncertainty regarding the outcome of the project
(Svejvig & Andersen,2015). Some of the complex projects are operation of the nuclear power
plants and managing oil refinery (Mills & Koliba,2015). The mismanagement is this kind o
project may destroy many lives which is not desirable. The paper discusses about the incident of
the oil spill at Deep Water Horizon and the significance of the control and fast approach
regarding this incident.
Discussion
The investigation regarding Deep Water Horizon case indicated that there was lack of
negligence. The cement base was not in the appropriate form. The engineers on the ship were
aware about the fact; however, they did not inform the fact to the management.
According to the one of the attribute of “control and fast response” the mindfulness of the
organization plays an important part in managing the operation of the complex project. The
mindfulness indicates the merging the security to get the expected result, refinement of the
existing system through proper monitoring and new experiences and innovation of the new
expectations those will be helpful to mitigate the uncertainty in the complex system (Fleming &
Koppelman, 2016). Mindfulness also includes the “soft skills” which will help to take the action
against some unwanted situation. This soft skill will also improve the handling of the sensitive
operation which will lead to the achievement of resilience (Terry Cooke-Davies, 2018). It also
indicates the policy needed to be taken during the system failure. The policy will help to modify
the routines which have been deviated during the critical situation. The modification will be done
