Guide to Pericological Resilience, Stabilizing Human Contexts in the Face of Perils

A tool to anticipate and act

The guide focuses on the early identification of risk signals, whether they are tensions in human interactions, technological disruptions, or systemic imbalances. It emphasizes collective vigilance, encouraging stakeholders to carefully observe their environment and collaborate to prevent problems from escalating. Each chapter offers keys to understanding the dynamics at work, adjusting practices in response to changes, and building resilience through solutions adapted to local realities.

A clear structure for practical application

Organized into seven chapters, the guide covers essential aspects for stabilizing human contexts. It begins with the analysis of peril dynamics , exploring how to spot warning signals and understand the mechanisms that amplify or mitigate risks. It then looks at observing collaborative interactions, assessing critical thresholds, and monitoring stressors within teams. The following sections address proactive prevention, proposing ways to regulate dynamics, strengthen communication, and anticipate dysfunctions.

The guide also devotes chapters to biological risk management, drawing on principles of collaboration inspired by nature, and to anticipating non-biological perils, such as socio-cultural, technological, or systemic crises. Finally, it explores how to integrate these different perspectives to coordinate stakeholders and build sustainable solutions, adapted to the specific needs of each context.
