Combining Agile Work Methods and New Views of Safety – Nicole Copeland

Nicole Copeland, Vice President – HSSE Professional Services, Wood

Many organisations are now using or at least exploring Agile work methods.   Scrum is the most popular Agile work method. The number one purpose of Scrum is to reduce business risk, but it also supports learning from what works well and learning from failing safely.  Scrum backs the ability to succeed under varying conditions, eliminating paper bureaucracy and creating obsession with end-user needs in designing your product or service – namely your Safety systems and support to your front-line workforce.

In this presentation, Nicole is exploring the synergies and shares practical examples of using Scrum as one pathway to work with new contemporary views of safety, such as Safety II, Safety Differently, and others.
