High Reliability Organizations all share one unique trait: They’re resilient. Simply put, “The hallmark of an HRO is not that it is error-free, but that errors do not disable it.” So, how can your team actually build real-world resilience? Join us for this fast-paced session to explore the basics of nine practical methods used by paratroopers, firefighters, pilots, nurses and other experts in high-hazard industries. We’ll discuss embedding fail-safes, compartmentalizing to prevent cascades, using 4-layer decision-making and watching for “weak signals.” You’ll receive a handout summarizing the presentation.
