Top 4 Reasons Why You Should Attend the HOP 2 Summit Track

People make mistakes. We have heard it a million times in a million different ways. Phrases like “it’s human nature,” “to err is human,” and my favorite, “you can’t fix stupid.” If you are battling human error and looking for ways to upgrade your human performance program, then the Improving Human Performance Track aka the HOP 2 Summit Track is for you.
This track shares best practices to reduce human errors by making processes more intuitive and less error-prone (more resilient). Take what you learn from the 2023 Summit and improve your human performance as soon as you return to work.
