Are you confident that the controls your organisation depends upon are reliable and effective?
Unlock the full potential of your control systems with our Control Effectiveness - Human Centred Controls - Explorer 3-hour workshop. This immersive session is designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and practical skills to develop and implement controls that are not only effective but also intuitively integrated with human behaviour.

Join us to transform your understanding of control effectiveness and drive meaningful, sustainable improvements within your organisation.
who is this for?
Senior Leaders - Who want to engage their organisations and bring ‘buy-in’ to a new way of thinking around critical risk.
Operational Leaders / Line Managers - building synergy between system experts and those that do the work.
Safety Leaders - interested in incorporating Human Centred Design to the way systems are designed to understand material control effectiveness.
Safety professionals who are interested in building resilience within their organisation through harnessing operational performance input from the frontline, designing controls that are less about bureaucratic accountability and more about creating and ensuring the safe conditions of work?
what is enabling controls?
Enabling controls brings the benefit of harnessing and leveraging the expertise of those that do the work, and the system experts in your organisation.
Learn how to critically analyse the control effectiveness of any given strategy to inform organisational leadership of both the control capacity and control deficiency.
break the audit cycle
How do we measure the effectiveness of critical controls?
We audit them.
We see if they are implemented correctly, we test whether it matches design specifications.
We don't test the outcome or whether a control is working well. We create data as to whether the system is working as imagined, we don't test if the imagined aligns with how work is done, or if that system is any good to begin with.
Audits reinforce the conditions that lead to doing audits. By making audits into the source of truth, doing more audits will often seem as to solution to many problems. When you have doubts, you then need to produce more facts, and thus more audits...
Enabling Controls: Control Effectiveness in Practice will teach you the strategies and tactics to break the audit cycle and learn to guide your organisation to focus less on process details, and more positive outcomes and value produced.
