Course Overview

The Event Learning Review Course has been designed to reshape the way organisations learn from incidents and accidents. Traditional investigations often fall into the trap of identifying repetitive ‘root causes,’ lacking the ability to learn or prevent similar events. Our course introduces a flexible yet structured approach, emphasising collaboration and empowerment. Unlike conventional methods, an Event Learning Review prioritises understanding the nuances of everyday work, building relationships with frontline workers, and leveraging their insights to create sustainable solutions.

Participants will explore the Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles in the context of Event Learning, fostering a highly contextualised perspective that navigates the complexities of organisational dynamics. This training not only shifts the focus from rigid documentation to practical learning, but also demonstrates a commitment to shared goals, fostering high-performing learning organisations. Through the application of HOP principles, the course teaches how to build relationships, embrace a culture of learning, and harness the invaluable knowledge of those intimately familiar with the intricacies of their work.

Turn the aftermath of events into a powerful learning experience that unites teams and propels sustained organisational improvement.

Shift the focus of investigations from rigid documentation to practical learning.
