Origin of SafeStart and the Critical Error Reduction Techniques
Tue, Oct 20, 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM - Mustang/Quarterhorse/Palomino
There are 12 distinct paradigm shifts in SafeStart—some of which were discovered somewhat “accidentally” through real-world application and observation. This session explores the stories behind those breakthroughs while providing a clear introduction to the critical error reduction techniques that make SafeStart practical and effective. Larry will keep the session highly interactive, engaging participants with thought-provoking questions, real-world examples, and opportunities to reflect on and share their own experiences. This conversational approach helps bring the concepts to life and makes the learning more relatable and memorable. This session is especially popular with those already familiar with SafeStart, as it offers deeper insight into how these paradigm shifts were uncovered. At the same time, it serves as an excellent starting point for those new to SafeStart, offering a compelling introduction to some of its most impactful ideas.
