Insight session: Do we understand the risks we are introducing?

It is often said that to err is human. It's true that failures can be traced to human limitations, but what's more important is that all successes, all safe operations are the result of human capabilities. This talk discusses the risks involved in focusing on error and ways to change the common narrative to recognize that people are the creators of safety rather than only the source of error and failure.
