Talk Description

Resilient organizations take a holistic approach and create seamless integration in which safety management is simply work management. They believe safety is an emergent property of how an organization functions, as well as the planning and execution of work. Companies focus on open communication, understanding how work is done, anticipating future operational scenarios and minimizing, goal conflict. This integrated approach to work management creates alignment between safety and work.  These ideas are not new, they have been continuously developed and broadened since the publishing of High Reliability Organization (HRO) Theory in the 1980's. What is new however is the practical application of these 'New View' safety approaches and the implementation of Human and Organizational Performance principles.  Dr. David Provan has a decade of experiencing in the practical implementation of HOP including the last five years as strategic consultant to some of the worlds largest and most innovative companies across multiple industries. In this presentation we will explore a proven 15 element framework for sustainably implementing enhanced approaches to safety management.
