Podcast Series: Beyond the Incident
Beyond the Incident is a podcast that explores major disasters through a systems-thinking lens, uncovering the deeper organisational, human, and technical factors behind events to reveal what really happened-and how similar failures can be prevented.
Here's what you'll learn:
Gain insights on the realities of complex incident investigations and organisational learning.
Explore real-world case studies, emerging trends, and practical lessons that go beyond investigation theory to improve professional practice.
Develop a broader understanding of human, organisational, and leadership factors that influence incidents, decision-making, and safety performance.
It should be noted that ICAM is not necessarily the right tool for the level of some of these incidents, however, we want to show how Organisational Factors, Absent/Failed Defences and other contributing factors can be applied to complex incidents.
Enroll in this learning track and beging your journey to improving your skills.
