They are how people stay connected to the work, to each other, and to emerging risks. Through conversation, organisations remain in contact with themselves—sustaining the capacity to notice, interpret, adapt, and learn.
Part 1: Conversations - The talking cure for safety
In this first of two sessions, Daniel Hummerdal explores why conversation is fundamental to safe, adaptive organisations. Drawing on his newly released book An Invitation to Safety Conversations: Real Dialogue, Better Work.
He will examine why the signals that matter most rarely travel through formal channels, what it takes to create conditions where truth can move, and how curiosity, compassion, and courage shape the quality of our conversations at work.
This session builds the case for safety conversations not as a soft skill, but as a core organisational capability.
