Expertise – Safety Science

SIMPLIFIER LA COMPLEXITE

Les opérations aériennes sont un domaine passionnant où cohabitent beaucoup d’experts métiers travaillant à résoudre l’équation subtile entre rentabilité, conformité et sécurité. Biens que ces trois éléments soient convergents à long terme, la logique de gestion quotidienne induit un déséquilibre où chaque métier optimise localement ses contraintes sans voir les conséquences sur l’activité globale. Cela peut même aboutir à ce que l’opérateur gère d’avantage les images de la sécurité que la sécurité elle-même.Pour que le SGS ne soit pas une source de complexité supplémentaire, nous aidons les experts métiers à établir des règles d’équilibrages entre la rentabilité, la sécurité et la conformité.

QU’EST-CE QU’UN « SYSTEME DE GESTION DE LA SECURITÉ » ?

QU’EST-CE QU’UN
« SYSTEME DE GESTION DE LA SECURITÉ » ?

La finalité d’un SGS est la détermination de priorités dans l’allocation de ressources dédiées à la sécurité. En d’autres termes, c’est avant tout un processus organisationnel de priorisation et d’arbitrages. En amont, cela implique des mesures révélant des éléments profonds et l’identification de zones d’action possibles.

DESIGN MANAGEMENT

En aval, cela implique une évaluation sur les résultats du processus.
Un SGS doit répondre à 4 questions :

1 – A QUOI SERONT DUS NOS ACCIDENTS FUTURS ?2 – QUE FAISONS NOUS POUR LES EVITER ?

3 – EST-CE EFFICACE ?

4 – COMMENT LE SAVONS-NOUS ?

DESIGN PRACTICES

The business of design is in a state of flux. The roles, the tasks and the personae of designers are changing.

No longer the technical expert, the heroic aesthete or the inspired individual of our earlier modern past, the contemporary designer draws upon dispersed sources of creativity and innovation. Collaboration, today, is key. For design practitioners, a central paradox of our times is the increasing specialization, on the one hand, but on the other, the need for more broad-ranging and holistic integration of design tasks, working between and across design disciplines. Design is becoming an ever-more social, indeed sociable, process

IMPERATIVE TO COLLABORATE

The imperative to collaborate, moreover, extends well beyond the domain of professional interaction and working in design teams. It also extends to the relationship with the users, clients and consumers of design. Designers today need to build deeply collaborative relationships with their ‘public’. Participatory design and user-centered design are just two key phrases that capture the spirit of this imperative.

INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES

Our DesignDays 2016 conferences are designed for independent businesses, owners of small and medium enterprises and company directors.
The Company, which is based in the USA, works towards developing a wide range of professional tools to suit its customer base.

Design discourse

Designers need to able to ‘do’ a multimodal professional design discourse. They must speak and write their way through complex collaborations with co-designers and interactions with users. They need to be able to ‘do’ visualization as they explore design alternatives through mental images and picture their visions into reality. They need to be able to represent spatial realities, prefiguring the three dimensional through the two dimensional and turning plans into tactile artifacts, manipulable objects, architectural spaces and navigable landscapes. The new, digital media provide newly flexible and accessible tools for multimodal and synaesthetic thinking.

DESIGN MODALITIES

Design’s modalities are also in a state of flux, its working tools of representation, communication, visualization and imagination. Digitization of text, sound, and still and moving image is one important site of transition. This has spawned new practices of modeling and simulation, of prefiguring the real in the virtual. It has also introduced the virtual as a design end-in-itself.

FEW WORDS

Organization of a Design Days Conference series is a result of the continued policy and continuous learning process, connecting researchers and practitioners attempting to understand better the problems they are trying to address.
