I love closing circle

𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬

I borrow the famous phrase of 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒍 𝑯𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒉 of the A-Team because last Thursday I completed a cycle.

Almost six years later, I read again my thesis to discuss the synergy between 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 approach and the concepts of Lean Thinking at an extra event during the 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Master at the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚.
Prof. Roberto Panizzolo's invitation was very welcome and the interest of the participants confirmed that safety is built in the sharp-end and not by the technicians.
It was interesting to read again some sections of the thesis and see how many concepts of the 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 approach I had included without even knowing it.
That work was probably the spark that led me to look for a different way of doing safety and to meet Robert de Boer and Sidney Dekker to radically change my professional life.
