Self Evident Approaches to Human Hazard Management Course

Kenneth Wylie

The Self Evident Approaches to Human Hazard Management course explores how aspirational human values can be intentionally organized to manage risks associated with human behavior in high-stakes environments. The training introduces a model highlighting the use of Shadow Power, representing limiting responses, and Luminant Power, representing expansive responses, to elevate decision-making in challenging situations. Through detailed case studies such as the Tenerife disaster and the Titanic sinking, learners gain insight into the incremental human decisions that lead to catastrophe and how alternative responses can prevent them. The course, designed for business professionals, blends leadership, risk management, and essential skills to foster behavioral awareness and personal accountability. Participants will develop the ability to recognize and shift between limiting and expansive behaviors, leading to improved outcomes in both everyday and high-consequence circumstances.Read more...
