Title:
Normalization of Deviance
Topic:
How human factors and external pressures make us accept shortcuts that we later perceive as normal until disaster strikes
Speaker(s):
George Michelogiannakis
Brief Description:
Murphy's law is wrong. What can go wrong usually doesn't and the outcome is favorable. The problem is that this causes us to conclude that our actions must had been correct, since the outcome was good. This rationalization is the beginning of the process where a new normal is established that accepts shortcuts to safety and standard operating practices.
This seminar will discuss famous examples of this happening, how human factors and external pressures combine to, in time, create a new norm. We will discuss how common pilot thinking is a contributing factor. Finally, we will present some countermeasures.
Normalization of deviation is a large factor in mishaps so expect an eye-opening discussion where you can reflect on your own habits and practices.
