The Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) course addresses numerous shortcomings in many of today’s leadership and management systems, safety management systems, and work method planning and execution systems. With a foundational premise that human error is inevitable and that complex systems can contain latent error traps, the HOP course will enable learners to create team-based approaches to improve work system development, hazard mitigation strategies that make it harder for employees to do the work incorrectly and easier for them to do it correctly, and leadership strategies that empower employees at all levels to do their best work. Particular emphasis is given to implementation of a HOP culture and non-technical leadership and team optimization skills within a HOP framework that are often absent from other hard-science academic offerings. One of the ultimate goals of this course is to help organizations become learning organizations with a focus on continuous improvement in not only safety but in leaders, teams, and operational performance.

“This was a great course with thought provoking instructors. The course taught me several new things about Human & Organization Performance (HOP) and I enjoyed the different perspective the Spartan team brings to HOP from their extensive military backgrounds. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to expand their knowledge in HOP or for anyone who needs a refresher on the overall philosophy of HOP as well as implementation tools.”
