My seminars are very different from others in the sense that this is not a “sit and listen” seminar, this is a highly interactive event where dialogues take place and questions are asked (and answered). The sessions are based on slide shows with many images and videos of actually executed projects. This gives a thru and realistic impression to the audience. Below are some sample slides.

Crew Resource Management (CRM),
There is one reason that causes the majority of accidents in our industry; communication. It is a buzz word nowadays and many believe that if it is repeated often enough, communication will somehow improve. Fact is however that communication needs to be implemented much like any other initiative.
Here is where many companies struggle and where The Works international can offer a solid solution that is simple and easy to implement. Crew Resource Management was developed by NASA following the 1970 Apollo 13 incident “Houston, we have a problem“.
The simplicity and effectiveness of CRM reached other industries such as the health care industry (operating rooms) and the airline industry where it has been a standard since 1990. Crew Resource Management is now a standard topic in all of my seminars. It is a much needed practice as the number of accidents are not going down.
