Many of you will know Professor Erik Hollnagel. Erik said he doesn’t like long introductions, so I'll do it in the intro here before the actual interview. Erik is Senior Professor of Patient Safety at the University of Jönköping, Sweden. You may have heard of Erik from his prolific writing, with well knows books including Safety I and Safety II, the Past and Future of Safety Management, and Resilience Engineering, Concepts and Precepts.
He is here not because I am a believer, but as Erik so simply tell us, because it makes sense.
In this episode we're continuing our recent theme of looking at the future. Previous guest and friend of the show Kobi Simmat, CEO at Best Practice, shares a couple of big business trends he is seeing, which are relevant to all of us, we dig into some of the key business skills which might help you become the next CEO, and hear about an awesome live event he is putting on with a phenomenal line up of speakers to help businesses create their own better future.
It's great to bring you another listener question. These kinds of podcasts are designed to help you bridge the gap between hearing and knowing something, and putting it into practice in real life. I can tell you all the stories under the sun, but there is something special, and simply enlightening about a specific person with a specific goal and you hearing it in the first-person.
Being future-ready and future-relevant means that we need different skills than what got us here. Not only that, today's guest today sees tensions businesses experience between competing goals, tensions we need to see and wrestle with to be future-ready and future-relevant.
My guest today is Sheri Greenwell, a health and safety leader and what I would call a neogeneralist.
Sheri is passionately engaged in health and safety which makes an impact, yet doesn't fit the usual mold for a health and safety professionals. Which is the very reason why she adds so much value?
