Predict

Some of the work I do involves facilitating a group of people to agree on some tangible outcomes. 

In my role facilitating risk workshops for the safety of our built infrastructure, we spend time trying to predict the behaviour of others.  It’s relying on the behaviour of others – following procedures, doing the right thing – that can make or break the effectiveness of some of our risk control methodologies.

Prediction of human behaviour, or in a similar sense, of how an unseen infection may behave, is fraught with difficulty.  I don’t envy those currently trying to determine the right next steps.
