Reflective learning is a great hit
PDO has piloted the new concept of reflective learning which vastly enhances the ability of people to retain the knowledge they can receive as a result of learning from our incidents. The response to the new method has been a resounding success and now the MSE team is busy designing the package of materials which will allow front line supervisors to deliver it to the front line staff in the worksites. The concept is based on interaction and a questioning approach, making our brains work out rather than passively receiving info.

By questioning, debating and challanging the learnings and then assessing where each operation can suffer the same fate, and how best to avoid people locally suffering the same fate, people are engaged and are more likely to remember and then to live the learning from those less fortunate. The forums so far have been energetic, lively and very noisy, but everyone who has attended has enjoyed them and felt they were worthwhile and definitely memorable... which is precisely what it is all about.. remembering the message, tomorrow and in the future. |

PDO will be delivering 'train the trainer courses' so that focal points can cascaded the methodology down through the management chain right to the people who are most at risk from the activities. To ensure maximimum efficiency we are currently devising a tailored plan for each individual directorate for the roll out and so keep your eye and ears out for when the new concept lands at your worksite. We hope that it will make your learning from incidents a more engaging and enjoyable experience for you and everyone concerned. |
