Why We Can't Proceduralize Everything: and Three Real-World Alternatives

Tuesday, April 6th, 2021

11:00am - 11:45am ET (GMT-5)

The Problem

​

Unwanted errors in high-hazard industries threaten life and limb, end careers, and waste over $37 billion... each year.

 

Trying to eliminate all errors by "proceduralizing everything," and forcing compliance often backfires and causes more errors.

​

The real problem is not the errors. It's that we often treat errors as defects to eliminate instead of signals to guide us as we constantly adapt.

Results

​

Folks are beginning to realize the importance of communication and collaboration...

 

The use of fail-safes, adaptive thinking, and peer checks are becoming part of the way we do things.”
