The Practice of Learning Teams
The Practice of Learning Teams
Learning and improving safety, quality and operational excellence.
Learning Teams from Dr Todd Conklin, PhD, are part of a way of looking at safety, quality and operational excellence differently by a facilitated approach to worker engagement and supporting the empowerment of people to own safety, quality or operational excellence. A Learning Team is notable because it encourages organizations to obtain and consider different perspectives and angles of functional diversity to define a problem in a group context. The different perspectives emerging from a Learning Team group demonstrate that no person holds all the knowledge needed to solve complex problems.

4Ds for HOP and Learning Teams
4Ds for HOP and Learning Teams
A Practical How To Guide To Learn From Everyday Work, Critical And Dynamic Risks with the 4Ds.
We need to continue to explore better effective ways to manage systems and system changes for the safety and wellbeing of workers and organizational risk resilience. There will always be a need to better understand, learn and improve on unwanted outcomes and events. It is vital that we have other complementary strategies to make the complexity of our systems more transparent by listening to our workers and hear the weak signals amongst all the noise of simply getting the work done. There is a unique opportunity before us, to support workers and allow workers to lead in understanding and managing the adaptability of the work they do every day. And for the organization to support workers by learning from those weak signals and better understand how to continuously learn and improve the systems to aid in everyday successful work. HOP and Learning Teams have reshaped the “find-and-fix” strategy for many organizations to a “find-understand-learn-improve” approach. Everyday learning is a continuation of those core principles. This book is a practical how-to guide to facilitate learning from everyday work using the 4D's (Dumb, Different, Difficult, Dangerous).
