Show Notes
Safety Podcast, Safety Differently, New View Safety, Human Performance, Safety, Systems Safety, Operational Excellence, Operational Learning,This is a quick discussion of our ability to learn and improve from past events. To have this discussion we are going to talk about the movie "The Big Short." This is a movie that uses Jenga blocks to illustrate the complex adaptive. socio-technical failure that was the housing market in the United States.
Why would we care about a movie? See if you can see the direct comparisons to systems, people, production, money, and power - and ask if we are also managing systems in which our ability to learn and improve is colored by other bias's. Also, perhaps you look like Brad Pitt.
