A busy week last week, with some great conversations about human and organizational performance. I had the opportunity to present “The Myth of the Perfect Worker” at HSPC’s PDC 2026 in Regina, then partner with Dylan Short to present “Rethinking the Rulebook: HOP versus Traditional Management Systems” at the Canadian Safety Summit in Toronto. Thank you to both conference for the opportunity to share these ideas with your attendees. And thanks to Dylan for a great collaboration. One thing that stood out was the interest in HOP principles and how to put them into practice. It was encouraging to hear from people whose organizations are already applying this lens to their safety programs, along with others exploring where to start. Every time I speak on this topic, the conversations give me more to think about. I’m looking forward to developing some fresh perspectives on human and organizational performance and getting back out there in 2027 to keep the momentum going.
