My passion is helping people understand and use the principles of Human and Organizational Performance (HOP). When I am asked what HOP is I often define it at as cross between system design and psychology (full stop). But that just isn’t enough words to define it…HOP (also called the “New View” in some circles) is a global movement towards using psychology to better understand how to design resilience into our industrial systems. HOP gives us the terminology, the tone (the language) and the platform to disrupt the paradigms that hinder our ability to be transformational leaders. The choices we make today about how we ask questions, how we create rules, how we react to failure (how we treat people) will directly impact our business performance in the future. I heard about HOP for the first time as a safety professional for a global manufacturing company. It changed my life. HOP gave me the words to explain what I had intuitively believed to be right, but struggled to articulate. After the class I walked up to the presenter and asked him to teach me everything he knew. "I want to do this - whatever this movement is, I want to be part of it."HOP is a cultural change, a movement that needs to be planned and fostered. Since the first day I heard the concepts, HOP became my passion, and my mission became clear: I want to make this message accessible and valuable for anyone that has a moment to listen. I want to help integrate these concepts in to what we already do in industry. I want to help embed it in leadership messaging, in management systems, and use it to enhance the great initiatives we already have. I want to help work towards the day that HOP is not called HOP, it is just "what we do."I want to help make HOP our new social norm.
