Rasmussen's legacy in safety: foundations, change, performance and strategy

Safety is not static—and neither is Rasmussen’s legacy.

This talk reflects on how Rasmussen’s ideas translate into today’s reality: financial pressure, global value chains, digitalisation and AI. The key insight is clear: safety emerges from strategic choices as much as from technical design.

By connecting socio‑technical theory with organisational change and business strategy, the presentation expands safety beyond operations and into decision‑making at the highest levels.

For engineers involved in leadership, transformation or large‑scale systems, this is a powerful reminder:
you can’t design safety locally if risk is created globally.

A thought‑provoking session on why systems fail—and how strategy shapes outcomes.
