Closing Luncheon Roundtable Discussion: Disrupting The Status Quo To Move Safety Forward

Feedback form is now closed.

From recalls to compliance to designing products, we can get stuck in doing things how we’ve always done.  We keep trying to do the same thing better, sometimes with little impact.  Disruptive ideas bring new companies, solutions and products to market – let’s apply that to product safety.  Leaders from product safety and other fields will lead the roundtables to brainstorm both process and products to further safety.  Technology is part of it, but change doesn’t have to use new tech to be disruptive. Participants will think differently about old problems and explore new solutions outside current practice, guided by those with experience in making change. One session isn’t enough to change practice, but it will generate ideas, make connections and move the process forward.
