Resilient systems have other characteristics as well. These systems are simple at the core, but diverse at the edges, similar to how DNA encodes a vast number of inputs and outputs, but maintains the basic protocols for DNA transfer.

Sistem yang berketahanan... Sistem-sistem ini bersahaja pada intinya, tetapi beraneka pada kulitnya, ibarat DNA yang menyandikan masukan dan keluaran dalam jumlah yang amat besar [tugas bukan inti, beraneka], tetapi dalam melakukan transfer DNA cukup menjalankan protokol dasar [tugas inti, bersahaja].

Operational resiliency differs from conventional contingency planning because it looks at more than just how to come back from adverse events. It focuses on helping companies understand where they are vulnerable so they can avoid adversity as well as be ready to "bounce back" when the inevitable happens. Think of it this way: contingency is about how quickly you can repair breaks. Resiliency is about knowing how to stretch and bend so your company resists breaking, plus planning how to respond if it does.

Pertanyaan pd naskah asli adalah bagaimana caranya perusahaan akan meningkatkan 'operational resiliency' pada salah divisinya, yaitu 'supply chain'.
