Workshop – Effective Engagement – Moving from Empowering to Enabling

Ray Fisher, Advanced Error Reduction and Training Manager – Fisher Improvement Technologies

This workshop allowed attendee’s to learn from a pioneer in human and organizational performance how incorporating personality diversity into how people see and manage risk helps move people from simply being empowered to stop work and get help, to enabling them to effectively engage in a way to prevent errors and incidents.

Effective engagement and enabling also drive better use of near-miss and near-hit reporting and analysis. Using the lessons learned from engaging the volunteers for Superbowl 51, Ray provided an ‘intentional communications’ tool that everyone who attended will now have the ability to use.
