Abstract
In this paper a model is developed to address how a bad, man-made incident such as corrosion as an element for moving from a possible future to a desired future must be handled within a Participatory Action Learning scheme. The possible mechanisms (including corrosion knowledge management as a managerial tool) are also addressed and discussed.
Highlights
“Corrosion” is a familiar terminology to industry professionals working in oil & gas, power generation, aviation, marine-offshore, mining, chemical and water/waste water treatment industries, to name a few
We will study the importance of corrosion in terms of defining possible future scenarios and how this importance must be addressed within this context
In the definition so far both classes of bad incidents, we introduced a very important concept of “Risk”
Summary
“Corrosion” is a familiar terminology to industry professionals working in oil & gas, power generation, aviation, marine-offshore, mining, chemical and water/waste water treatment industries, to name a few. The man-on-the-street knows corrosion by yet another name: rusting. All these variations could only mean one thing: the confusion and ambiguity that does exist in addressing an “issue” that on its own takes away about 4% of Gross National Product (GNP) of any country per year [1] or even more [2]; an “issue” that on its own annually costs humanity much more than all natural disasters all together [3,4] and an “issue” that, to the best of our knowledge, has not been studied in the context of Future studies research ,yet. We will study the importance of corrosion in terms of defining possible future scenarios and how this importance must be addressed within this context
