The Hop Hub

A human & organizational performance consortium made up of eight professionals in their fields. They have had the opportunity to get to work with companies, both big and small, to help them advance on their HOP journey.

The goal is to help you not need us.

HOP stands for Human and Organizational Performance and it’s an initiative that is well worth the effort and the time is right. It’s a new way of thinking about how we can improve the work place. It is based on the premise that humans are error prone and that if we expect people to do things right all the time, we are most likely going to be disappointed – a lot! 

 

Safety differently

The words seem contradictory next to each other. When facing difficulties with a potential disastrous loss, it makes more sense to wish for more of what is already known. Safety should come from well-established ways of doing things, removed far from where control may be lost.

But as workplaces and systems become increasingly interactive, more tightly coupled, subject to a fast pace of technological change and tremendous economic pressures to be innovative and cutting-edge, such “well-known” places are increasingly rare. If they exist at all.
