Over the years, we have been working with high-hazards industries from around the world to educate people on how to improve their safety culture, decision making and risk perception using visual methods and tools. All these tools are developed within the wider umbrella of Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR)* i.e. how human beings make decisions in groups.
Social Psychology of Risk conference Aberdeen
On March 5 to 7 we are organising our first SPoR conference in Europe in our hometown Aberdeen. The conference is a rare opportunity to bring people together who have been on this journey to share their experiences. As more people around the world are becoming curious about Social Psychology of Risk, this conference would be an ideal opportunity for them to join and learn with the SPoR community.
We will have 2.5 days of experiential activities around:
- How to listen well
- How to observe and improve risk perception
- How to visually map decision making
With a range of practical applications:
• Investigating accidents
• Conducting interviews
• Improving risk perception
• Understanding and setting goals
• Risk assessment
• Strategy setting and review
• Cultural assessments and audits
• Conflict management
• Change management
• Trauma and healing
• Setting up and reviewing management strategy
• Building and improving relationships
