The Power of TRIAD Integration
When these three elements collaborate, they generate high performance:
-
HF ensures systems are human-friendly and maps the human terrain
-
CRM ensures a cohesive and communicative compass for teamwork
-
AI ensures decisions are data-driven and timely, and is the GPS that enhances navigation​​
Cross-industry innovation
Many organisations get stuck in their own way of thinking.
​
Our experience working across many sectors, from aviation, healthcare and maritime; provides us with the unique ability to take knowledge and best practices across sectors.
​​
The expectation for airline and maritime crews to be able to get you to your destination safely is the number one concern.
​
We help organisations with the how to do that.
Healthcare
Crew Resource Management (CRM) principles - originating from aviation - are vital in healthcare, especially in high-stakes environments such as surgery, emergency care, and intensive care units
CRM encourages open communication, mutual respect, and shared situational awareness among multidisciplinary teams. It ensures that surgeons, nurses, anaesthetists, and technicians work cohesively as a team, where every voice is valued and critical information is openly shared.
