HFES Nordic: Rasmussen Redux, Welcome

Why revisit Jens Rasmussen now?

This opening session frames why Rasmussen’s thinking still matters—and why it matters more than ever. Complexity has increased. Systems are more interconnected. And safety can no longer be understood within a single discipline.

The welcome sets the scene for a day where engineering, psychology, human factors and organisational thinking meet. Not as theory for theory’s sake—but as tools for understanding real work in real systems.

For engineers working in safety‑critical domains, this is a clear invitation:
stop thinking in silos. Start thinking systems.

A strong introduction to Rasmussen Redux—and to the questions that will shape the rest of the programme.
