Ep. 105 How can organisations learn faster?
In this episode, we’ll discuss a paper from one of the giants of organizational psychology, Edgar Schein. Schein recently passed away at age of 98. His work has influenced not just safety practitioners but also safety academics over the past few years. His approach to organizational leadership intersected with some of the resilience in safety II and safety differently motivated ideas. We first considered discussing his book, Humble Inquiry, (see link in Resources) but instead decided on his 1992 paper, “How can organizations learn faster? The problem of entering the green room”, from the MIT Sloan School of Management. It was delivered as an invited address to the World Economic Forum on February 6th, 1992 in Davos, Switzerland.
