SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF RISK – INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP
I’ve known Matt Thorne and Andrew Thornhill for lots of years, studied SPOR with them under Dr Rob Long and recently posted a few of their short short videos here: https://safetyrisk.net/author/mthorne/. If you are sick of all the safety BS, mythology, illusion and delusion then I promise you will thoroughly enjoy this introduction to SPoR as they share their passion and experience in making better sense of safety and risk.
DEVELOPING RISK INTELLIGENCE
- The way humans make judgments and decisions is fundamental to developing Risk Intelligence and tackling the challenges of risk in the workplace.
- The way a culture develops and what it normalises determines how individuals frame their risk worldview and make decisions.
- The Program gives attendees exposure to pioneering work in the social psychology of risk and skill development in Risk Intelligence.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The workshop will help you better understand the psychological and organisational factors that affect how
people perform their work, make decisions, and participate in safety processes.
By the conclusion of the program, you will:
- Better understand the psychology of risk, goal setting, motivation and decision making.
- Apply simple tools to surface psychological and organisational/cultural risks.
- Understand the ‘hidden’ influences on risk/safety systems (perception, bias, heuristics, automaticity, bounded rationality, cognitive dissonance, obedience, Groupthink).
- Understand collaborative strategies for engagement and tackling risk.
- Understand framing, priming, anchoring, pitching and flooding and improve risk communication.
- Better understand risk perception.

Great to see two Masters in SPoR carrying the baton. Once you learn SPoR you don’t look back. You see risk differently and have all the methods and tools to make sense of risk.
For those interested SPoR can also be studied face to face in Europe, UK and North America.

Thanks Rob, and I think I can speak for Andrew when I say we are grateful for all the learning, support, time and friendship you have given us over the years.
As the world is opening up, we feel it is time to get back in front of people with SPoR, so much better in person. Let the adventure begin!

Fantastic opportunity for risk and safety persons as well as leaders to learn more about Social psychology of Risk. I started the journey some years ago, needed a lot of unlearning, followed by lots of learning. What a journey !!!!!
