Improving Air Safety through Organizational Learning Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, this is not properly a review since I am the author of the book. However, by a mistake, it seems that I qualify my own book as "Timely and outspoken" when, actually, that was the first part of the comment by Dekker.
I hope the mistake will be corrected by Amazon.
The most important part: I started to work with air safety while I was working in the knowledge management field. Therefore, that is the point of view to analyze air safety in this book. Air safety specialists could have then a different scope. It is up to them deciding if this approach can add something to their previous one or not.
At the same time, air safety can be an interesting field for knowledge-management practicioners. Air safety has, for obvious reasons, more pressure to improve that regular organizations. If, forgetting some specifics, they can find that some problems appear in the improvement process, they can bet that the same problems will appear in short-to-medium term in their organizations.
Air safety, then, can be used as a kind of compass to know where some problems are going to appear helping to prevent them.

The key theme of this book is organizational learning and its consequences for the field of air safety. Air safety rates have been improving for a long time, demonstrating the effects of a good learning model at work. However, the pace of improvement has almost come to a standstill. Improving Air Safety through Organizational Learning explains this situation as being the consequence of a development model supported chiefly by information technology being introduced as an alternative to human operators, and offers a new development model, one that makes strong use of technology but at the same time questions every step and suggests possible ways to recover the lost learning capacity.
