Introduction to Human Performance Improvement for Utilities, September 9, 2019 in Seattle, WA

The “Overview of Human Performance Improvement for Everyone” course explores the principles of HPI, how and why people deviate and events happen in systems, and key concepts of event learning. The course will begin with an interactive dynamic learning activity (DLA) that will require participants to apply HPI’s error-reduction tools to succeed. The DLA will also illustrate the complex interactions between organizational systems, error precursors, and individual choices to yield unwanted events, which will set the stage for a new approach to event learning.

Participants will then learn the basics of two new event-learning processes proven to generate engagement, process improvement, and real accountability: (1) The Learning Team process pioneered by Dr. Todd Conklin at Los Alamos National Labs, and (2) the Latent Cause Analysis process developed by Bob Nelms with the Failsafe Network. Participants will then simulate a Learning Team based on a case study of an actual event in the power generation industry.

When something goes wrong, people expect accountability, fairness, and justice.

Unfortunately, in the aftermath of events, most organizations struggle with achieving all of these expectations. To aid in this significant challenge, participants will review and apply two different decision-making tools designed to aid leaders in selecting a just response to the behaviors leading to events.

This course will also review the principles and basic skills associated with the Enhanced Cognitive Interview process, and participants will practice these skills in multiple interview simulations. Participants will also explore how to develop effective action items in response to the types of conditions leading to an event and learn the most common mistakes made in developing action items.

Participants will then return to the DLA they encountered at the beginning of the course and apply new lessons learned during the course to improve performance.  Finally, participants will explore the specifics of HPI implementation and sustainment.

*It is strongly suggested that you attend the previous course, Introduction to Human Performance Improvement for Utilities, as a pre-requisite. HPI is a fast evolving topic, and HPI for Leaders relies heavily on up-to-date theory covered in that course*

Learning Outcomes

This course enables the participants to reduce events caused by human and system error by:

  1. Simulating event learning processes that engage participants in the learning process, creating engagement, buy-in, ownership, and real accountability
  2. Demonstrating effective investigative interviewing skills through application of the Cognitive Interview process
  3. Distinguishing between retributive justice and restorative justice and determining when and how best to apply each of those
  4. Applying various culpability decision-making models and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each
  5. Reviewing strategies and pitfalls for implementing and sustaining HPI

This a very interactive and experiential course, achieving the learning outcomes through simulations and case studies rather than just lecture. It is fast-paced and fun.
