Overview: There are misconceptions that Human Factors (HF) is a discipline which is only applicable to safety critical industries like aviation, medicine and the oil & gas sectors. In fact, there are tangible benefits to investing in HF beyond improving safety. Improved Operational Efficiency: Giving a team the tools to allow them to manage workload, problem solve and make effective decisions equips them with the ability to handle work-related difficulties without the need for higher level intervention. Regardless of the setting, front line team members are able to handle complex, dynamic situations. Enhanced Employee Engagement and Brand Reputation: Empowering team members to manage work situations increases employee engagement and improves customer interactions. An organisation that can demonstrate a commitment to improve and invest in its staff will reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction. Reduced Absenteeism, Increased Retention: Time off work due to stress and fatigue can be partly addressed through HF training. But workplace morale is undoubtedly going to affect individual stress levels. Investment in a combination of stress & fatigue management training and introducing peer support programmes demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being that Deloitte suggests will result in a 500% return in reduced absenteeism and improved retention. In summary, the same skills that help pilots, surgeons and oil rig drillers can be applied far more frequently to benefit an organisation beyond safety.

• Understand the basic principles of human cognition.
• Apply their understanding to the development of cognitive tools to enhance performance.

Overview: This course explores the primary influences on decision-making under pressure. Nothing piles on the pressure quite like a crisis and this course aims to provide civil servants with the tools that they need to analyse the situation and make good decisions in times of uncertainty.
The course adopts a holistic approach to manage complex systems. The current global pandemic has accelerated change in many areas of strategy and this course utilises proven tools to enable civil servants to make good decisions whilst under pressure. In addition, we will consider how to effectively mitigate emergent threats be they physical or digital. The course has a number of high-profile case studies from various industries which are analysed and discussed collectively and presented from various perspectives by the delegates.
Assessment techniques will be explored and applied to real world scenarios. Delegates will evaluate crises and decide what course of action is best given the limited information available. The course provides the delegates with the confidence to directly engage with risk-based decisions within a complex operating environment.
The course ties into the Better Business Case methodology. The Better Business Case is the UK government’s best practice approach to enable civil servants to develop spending proposals and make effective business decisions. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the nature of complex systems and how to manage within them.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new technologies on risk strategies.
• Enhance the resilience of their risk management system.

Format of the Course:

• Facilitated and group discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and case study analysis.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.
