Management by targets

Overview

This webinar explores the issues associated with management by targets and how this has the potential to impact safety outcomes. As Goodhart said “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”. We explore in some detail the Chernobyl incident and how this was a victim of management by targets. The webinar is presented by Trish Kerin and aligns with the upcoming free Loss Prevention Bulletin Anniversary Edition.
