What is the HOP Fundamentals Course about?

The Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) Fundamentals Course explores safety paradigms in which we operate and introduces the foundational aspects of the HOP philosophy.

Human and Organisational Performance is an operating philosophy that recognises good performance is not only the absence of error, but rather the presence of capacity. It is a systems-based approach leveraging on worker expertise, with a focus on understanding the context and conditions of work.

The HOP Fundamentals Course provides the basis to have robust conversations, with the ability to reflect and explore safety as we know it. It will push your thinking to develop a working knowledge of HOP principles, terminology and approaches. The coursework encourages moving away from a compliance only mindset to asking better questions, seeking to understand how everyday work happens, and involving those who know it best. Latest research relating to the role of safety professionals, safety work and the role of bureaucracy in safety is introduced and explored.

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

What can I expect from this course?

To ensure you get the most out of this learning experience we provide you with:

Learning through engaging, energised group discussions and activities, exercises and case studies
Exploring underlying value and belief systems that underpin how organisations manage safety
Robust discussion around the paradigms of safety and value-adding activities
Debunking myths and exploring truths in human behaviour and work systems
Powerful reflection and self-discovery in how we lead safety and operations
Takeaway resources and free HOP material to assist you in putting the concepts in action
Networking opportunities throughout the course and beyond

What does this course program include?

Key topics such as blame, error, normal variability, complex coupling of conditions, performance modes, biases and system thinking are covered in enough depth that the participants will be able to put into practice what they learn.

In this course you will be challenged to:

Shift beyond a mindset of compliance only, oversimplification of events, root cause, and a linear path to failure
Recognise and account for the human condition in work
Understand how everyday work happens (and how it usually goes well)
Think holistically with a systems approach to failure and success
Consider our reaction to failure and the ways we respond
Evolve from a reactionary mode to learning and improving proactively

Participants will be able to apply the ideas discussed to their own organisation to improve system stability, reliability and resilience. They will see the importance of building better systems, increasing capacity and improving learning around events and normal work.

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