Routine successful operations represent an untapped source of information that can improve safety and efficiency. When we seek to understand routine work by engaging frontline workers, we not only improve safety and efficiency, we also build trust and a culture of continuous improvement. The idea that we can learn from all operations is taking root in the aviation industry, but implementation remains challenging. How can organizations move from theory to practice? How can companies turn everyday routine work into learning opportunities? This panel will discuss the conceptual foundations of learning from all operations, explore how organizations have put these ideas into practice, and provide practical tools and advice for helping your organization and your people learn from what goes right as well as from what goes wrong.
Key Takeaways:
