So excited to be able to share this with everyone from tomorrow. Dekker argues we need to leave the Cartesian-Newtonian viewpoint. I propose an alternative perspective to understand the complexity of modern risk management #quantumsafety routledge.com/Quantum-Safety…

This series will introduce some of the key themes around the Just Culture space. This is the first one. We start at the very beginning and discuss why it is so important that we challenge fear and blame in the workplace.

England’s Euros defeat underscores the need for smart talent ID in sports. Shane Battier’s NBA “Catalyst Effect” shows hidden strengths can boost team performance. Leaders must find these "Lego players." Discover more on our latest blog: med-led.co.uk/blog/2024-07-1…

This is a really interesting project- great work. As part of @MedledTeam love to see systems thinking, human factors and appreciation of complexity in work. Also delighted to see my #justculture work having a positive impact too 👏
Exciting breakthrough at @emergencyhull! They've slashed #aorticdissection diagnostic times, improved detection rates & achieved a 100% detection success rate. Discover how @HullHospitals' innovative approach saves lives. #PatientSafety @HumberNHSFT tadct.org/hull

Warmed up, digitised Taylorism failed to explain complex system performance. Shock. Concerning at such a level decisions being abdicated to data in such a way. Context changes everything.
Leeds United were confident Jesse Marsch would be a natural fit after Marcelo Bielsa. Stats told them their styles were very similar/ players would transition. But it didn’t work out at all.

Great to chat to @ErgoFran about #humanfactors in healthcare, how we can increase capacity as well as the importance of collaboration and curiosity. Probably strayed into other random things too…

Sign of a good interviewer apparently is that the interviewee forgets they’re being interviewed. This was the case within a couple of minutes. Not sure what that says about the professionalism of the person being interviewed though…
