Training Overview

Practical. Interactive. Thought-Provoking.

This workshop uses the Swiss Cheese Model as a learning framework to help participants understand how events occur, how resilience develops and how organisations can strengthen their systems over time.

Participants explore real-world challenges through discussion, case studies and hands-on exercises that encourage collaboration and shared learning.

Participants will learn to:

  • Understand the principles behind the Swiss Cheese Model
  • Recognise how people, systems and processes interact
  • Understand how behavioural preferences can influence workplace outcomes
  • Identify strengths and vulnerabilities within their own environment
  • Improve collaboration across teams and functions
  • Apply practical approaches to reducing risk and strengthening resilience
  • Develop actions that support sustainable improvement

Learning through Experience

Using the patented Swiss Cheese learning tool, teams work together to:

  • Explore system interactions
  • Identify dependencies between people, teams and functions
  • Understand how behavioural differences influence collaboration
  • Recognise vulnerabilities and strengths
  • Strengthen communication and teamwork
  • Develop practical solutions

Every workshop is designed to encourage engagement, challenge assumptions and create opportunities for learning and improvement.

Workshop Features: Understanding the Human Element

Every system is influenced by the people working within it.

As part of the workshop, participants explore how different personality styles, preferences and approaches to work can affect communication, decision-making, planning, problem-solving and team performance.

A Modern Perspective

The workshop also explores both the strengths and limitations of the Swiss Cheese Model.

Participants are encouraged to consider how organisations continuously adapt, how successful work is achieved every day and how resilience can be strengthened through learning, collaboration, behavioural awareness and system design.
