Course Overview

The 3-Day HOP & Learning Teams Course is the ultimate guide to learning the foundations of Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) and understanding how to apply the philosophy at an organisational level.

Over three highly engaging and insightful days, you will develop a working knowledge of the Human and Organisational Performance principles, terminology and methods. The course builds on the foundational aspects of Human and Organisational Performance and critical safety perspectives in day 1 HOP Fundamentals. Concepts including mistakes and errors, blame vs accountability, performance variability, complex coupling of conditions and the importance of response are introduced and applied to everyday work situations. The following two days are focused on Operational Learning and the Learning Teams method and considering ways of incorporating the HOP approach in your organisation.

Managers from operations, safety, business improvement and quality will find this program both highly engaging and incredibly beneficial personally and for their organisation.

The theory presented in a context of the guiding principles. The principles provide the structure. The practical examples and presenters’ personal experiences were great.

Great delivery, kept it interesting and challenged thinking. Most beneficial for challenging the way we think about blame.
