One of the biggest challenges that any group faces is finding consultants who have the ability to see and work across disciplines. Deep and broad insight and experience in multiple fields is rare. As a leader in systems thinking and addressing complexity in medicine, engineering, and risk, Dr. Antonsen specialized in approaching and strategizing about large, multidisciplinary problems that overwhelm others.
Some examples of Dr. Antonsen’s leadership in solving large, multidisciplinary problems:
Human System Risk Management Plan
Dr. Antonsen re-wrote the NASA policies governing how human system risk is understood and managed in human spaceflight. As the author of the Human System Risk Management Plan for the NASA Health and Medical Technical Authority, Dr. Antonsen brought forward new and innovative approaches in risk management, laying the groundwork for evidence-based and risk-informed decision making processes in the emerging age of multidisciplinary risk and AI/ML.
NASA document JSC-66705 is the most recent human system risk management plan and was authored by Dr. Antonsen.
Directed Acyclic Graph Guidance
Documentation
Dr. Antonsen and colleagues pioneered the development of directed acyclic graphs for causal diagramming in risk management for human spaceflight.
The document “Directed Acyclic Graph Guidance Documentation” for the Human System Risk Board at NASA catalogs the development and implementation of guidelines for graphical management of human systems risks.
Directed Acyclic Graphs: A Tool for
Understanding the NASA Human
Spaceflight System Risks
This novel approach to risk management changed the way that NASA managers, scientists, engineers and physicians build shared mental models of the complex challenges they face as a team. The document titled “Directed Acyclic Graphs: A Tool for Understanding the NASA Human Spaceflight Risks” provided the starting DAGs for each of the 30 risks and concerns under investigation in 2022. It also provides the DAGtionary, a collection of common terminology and definitions to align communication between NASA managers, scientists, engineers and physicians as they discuss risk.
Safe Human Expeditions Beyond
Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
Dr. Antonsen was instrumental in helping to complete the NASA Engineering and Safety Center report on Safe Expeditions Beyond Low Earth Orbit that addressed the intersection of medicine, engineering and risk for upcoming exploration missions, cataloging what we know and highlighting ongoing challenges. He wrote Chapter 7 and provided scientific input to many of the other chapters and appendices.
Helping you navigate the complexity of exploration.
Antarch Consulting LLC occupies a unique space at the nexus of medicine, engineering, and risk. In a world where knowledge siloes limit the ability of companies to approach complexity, having help figuring out where to start and how can make the difference between success and failure.
