About this webinar
In many pharmaceutical companies, human error is still addressed reactively through compliance by Deviation Management. While people are involved, they are NOT the root cause in the majority of deviations.
There's an opportunity to set people up for success proactively in regards to risk prevention in a complex work environment through, for example:
- Recognition of risk and techniques for prevention of error.
- A roadmap for investigating repeated, human-related deviations.
- A means of integrating human performance into operational excellence, such as Gemba and leader standard work.
- Techniques for interviewing, coaching and improved communication.
- Recommendations for addressing system-related problems.
Who would this be of interest to?
Leaders and supporters of those that perform complex work in any regulated Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) environment and anyone interested in human and organisational performance.
