International sport is in need of some Black Box Thinking, writes Jack Anderson

One of the more interesting books by a sports journalist in recent years was Matthew Syed’s Black Box Thinking. Published in 2015, the book’s premise was how sport could adapt from other industries, particularly aviation, in learning from catastrophic system errors.

Rather than denying mistakes had occurred or deflecting fault onto others, Syed argued that sports organisations should frankly interrogate what went wrong and use that analysis to ensure that such errors would not be repeated.
