Resilience Bites #13 - LinkedIn Rewind (week 20)
Hi everyone,
Welcome to the week 20 edition of LinkedIn Rewind!
I took a bit of a step back from LinkedIn last week to focus on clarifying exactly what Resilium Labs stands for.
These three blog posts are part of that "clarification exercise" series:
#1 What is Resilience Engineering?
#2 Transform Disruption into Competitive Advantage
#3 Beyond Traditional Resilience
My hope is that you can use them when advocating for resilience initiatives within your own organization.
Having clear definitions, value propositions, and practical examples helps articulate the business case for resilience to stakeholders who might still see it as just another cost center rather than the strategic differentiator it truly is.
I'd love to know which concepts resonate most with the challenges you're facing in your organization. What's your biggest obstacle when trying to build resilience? Drop a comment on LinkedIn, or send me a direct message/email - I'm always looking for feedback.
Until next week!

Rollback first, understand later
Here is one habit that will transform your organization.
Deploy your software with rollback in mind.
Make small, frequent changes.
Prioritize rolling back first, understanding later.
When incidents happen, your priority should be restoring service, not perfect diagnosis.
Transform Disruption into Competitive Advantage
I'm excited to share my latest blog post: "Transform Disruption into Competitive Advantage."
Building Resilium Labs from scratch has been quite the journey! One thing I keep hearing from successful founders is "be crystal clear about your value proposition,"... and wow, they weren't kidding! 😅
I've had countless meetings where potential clients showed interest but weren't entirely sure of the specific value Resilium Labs could bring to their organization.
I knew the value was there, but articulating that resilience engineering isn't just about preventing losses, but can actually transform disruption into a competitive advantage, has been truly enlightening.

What gets celebrated gets repeated
Teams celebrate feature launches but rarely mention the work that keeps those features available.
Change this narrative.
Acknowledge and commend when systems become more reliable.
Appreciate team members who identify potential problems before they cause failures.
Ensure that work that improves system resilience receives the same visibility as developing new features.
And more importantly, share these wins across the organization.
What gets celebrated gets repeated.

What is resilience engineering?
"What is resilience engineering?" I have been asked this question almost every day since launching Resilium Labs.
With the term "resilience" being used in so many different contexts today, I wanted to clarify our value proposition (something I recently learned is very important when building your own business) by sharing a short post on what resilience engineering actually means and why it matters for organizations.
Resilience engineering transforms how organizations handle failures in complex systems. It's not just about preventing problems but also about developing the adaptive capacity to respond when the unexpected inevitably occurs.
The past does not repeat itself
The better you get at preventing failures, the harder it becomes to justify your resilience work.
When nothing breaks, people will question why you need resources for something that "never happens."
Document the disasters you've prevented—invisibility is resilience's curse.
