Speaker for following sessions
- Thursday 19 May 2022
  10:30 - 11:20 Chornobyl then, now … and now – fostering leadership for resilience
  Change can result from demands made by internal and external stakeholders. Change can also result from unexpected situations. The human and organizational factors for managing both sudden and planned change are similar. Examining the organizational change management that results from accident management can teach us a lot about building resilience in our organizations. In the nuclear industry a lot has been identified from these type of examinations. The lessons have been integrated into the international safety standards for protecting people and the environment. Most of what has been identified is generic and human-centered and thus applicable to any industry. The presentation will share the information identified from the Chornobyl accident 36 years ago, what has been learned and not learned from the past and current situation at the site. Practical approaches on how to foster leadership that will facilitate resilience in the organization and increase the likelihood of successful change management will be shared as well.
  
  12:00 - 12:30 Safety talk: Sustaining the safety mindset (Part I)
  Disasters are nearly always something we couldn’t imagine. Hence, it is often difficult for leaders to relate to previous disasters, especially, if they happened in different industries. Nevertheless, the deeper learnings are often generic independent of industry. But how do we make them accessible to other industries/trades e.g., how does a leader in renewables learn from Chernobyl? What is the process? Do we have any good examples? What are the enablers? What are the challenges?
