Decoding Risk: A Leader’s Playbook for Building Cognitive Readiness

Close the gap between your procedures and real-world performance.
When an incident happens, we call it “human error,” but the fault isn’t usually negligence. It’s a cognitive blind spot, a hidden risk created by fatigue or overload that neither the operator nor your checklists can see. We keep measuring what already went wrong instead of seeing what’s about to.
This workshop connects the dots others miss. We’ll show you how ergonomics, neuroscience, and AI work together to find the invisible patterns that precede a mistake. You’ll leave with a playbook to stop blaming and start predicting, building a team that is not just trained, but cognitively prepared for the job.
