A once-in-a-lifetime "tipping" of several converging technologies is changing the way we look at safety preparedness, risk management and our policy response. This seminar helps you and your organization make sense of some of these changes and provide a framework to deliver new strategies and tactics in the ongoing goal of improving worker safety.

Details: With safety practices, companies cannot afford to be complacent. Advances in learning technology and learning methodologies are providing new opportunities to design and deliver impactful learning and training experiences.

The use of technology to innovate safety practices starts with understanding the value it can bring and the change it can affect. Present and near-future technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables and virtual/augmented reality are changing the world and offer an opportunity to dramatically reduce on-the-job accidents and deaths.

In this webinar we will review relevant, new technologies and identify the impact on worker safety, policy options and risk management within a new and practical framework. The result will be an increased ability to evaluate and measure training investment ROI and how to use technology to make a difference.

Jim Gibson, President, CMC

Jim Gibson has more than 30 years of capital, technical and executive experience in the technology field throughout Canada and Europe.

Gibson is a thought leader in the area of collaboration and virtual teams. He started his entrepreneurial career at 27 when he helped start an information management and health care technology platform company called GSA Group which developed and sold the first connected provider, patient and payor system in Canada and the U.S.

After working in the start-up capital area, in late 2006, Gibson became the founder and CEO of PURUS Technologies Inc. which designed, built and sold one of the world's first collaborative decision management platforms in the industry. The platform enabled teams to richly collaborate from anywhere on any device on projects and scenarios.

After selling PURUS, Gibson became an executive with Chaordix Inc., the global leader in crowdsourcing, working in London, UK and Canada. After Chaordix, he joined the board and then became COO with the SaaS Social Employee Engagement firm Kudos Inc.

Currently, Gibson works globally with clients on new ways to work. He is writing a book on the future work looking at new "intersections" of science, cultures and teams that are now possible with our rapidly advancing digital “plumbing”.
