Pascal Papathemelis: From Mechanics to Human Factors—How Scrum Masters Grow Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal shares his evolution as a Scrum Master, moving from focusing purely on the mechanics of Scrum to understanding the critical importance of human factors. Early in his career, Pascal worked with teams that struggled to achieve sprint goals, with stories floating from one sprint to another. Through retrospectives and continuous improvement, he learned essential tips like not taking too much into sprints and making stories smaller.  However, Pascal's biggest transformation came when he shifted focus to human elements - involving everyone in the team, improving collaboration during refinement, and developing people's skills and attitudes. He emphasizes that every person is an individual with the intention to be their best, and a good Scrum Master must sense when something is wrong and create safe environments for open conversations. Pascal highlights the importance of corridor conversations and coffee machine breakthroughs, especially before COVID, and stresses the need to invest effort in how teams start, using models like Tuckman's team growth model and Diana Larsen's Team Liftoff approach. In this segment, we also refer to the episode with Arne Roock, about the importance of team design and setup in the success of teams. Self-reflection Question: How might shifting your focus from Scrum mechanics to human factors transform the way you support your team's growth and collaboration?

“Voice isn't dead. It's forming a great alliance with AI.” — Julia Fraser, Executive Vice President, Americas, Sinch In a compelling conversation with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, Julia Fraser of Sinch shares a front-line view into the dual revolutions transforming business communications today: RCS (Rich Communication Services) and AI. Representing the Americas for the Sweden-headquartered cloud communications company, Fraser highlights how these technologies are reshaping customer engagement—while keeping human connection at the center. Branded Trust and Richer Messaging Sinch's new research—spanning nearly 3,000 consumers and over 1,600 business leaders—shows that 54% of consumers prefer RCS over SMS/MMS, with 59% calling it a “game changer.” Fraser explains how branded and verified RCS messages not only improve trust and open rates, but also drive tangible results like abandoned cart recoveries. “When a consumer knows the message is really from their bank or retailer, they're more likely to act,” Fraser notes. AI-Powered Personalization, Real-Time Care The discussion dives deep into how AI enhances everything from marketing to customer care. Whether it's a personalized retail offer or a voicebot that helps resolve flight delays or financial fraud, AI is helping organizations anticipate needs and respond quickly. “AI isn't something to fear,” Fraser stresses. “It drives productivity and deeper personalization—across all generations.” Voice + AI = The Future Despite predictions that voice is on its way out, Fraser says the opposite is true—especially in financial services and healthcare. Sinch's data shows that 63% of businesses plan to adopt voice AI bots this year, with that figure rising to 86% in financial services. Whether it's a late flight, a blocked card, or a bereavement call, voice remains critical—and AI makes it faster, smarter, and more empathetic. Human-Centered Design From seamless triage in healthcare to respectful handling of debt collection, Fraser emphasizes the need to know when to hand a conversation off from a bot to a human. “It's not just about resolution. It's about doing so with trust, security, and empathy.” Four Pillars of Communication Success Sinch organizes its customer communication strategy around four pillars: Keep customers informed Keep customers safe Keep customers happy Drive engagement and loyalty through personalization And RCS and AI—working together—power all four.

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat, the show where we challenge assumptions in medicine and seek out the systems, stories, and science that truly shape healthcare. In today's episode, we're joined by Martin Bromiley: airline captain, human factors champion, and founder of the Clinical Human Factors Group.But before he became a global advocate for patient safety, Martin faced unimaginable tragedy when his wife, Elaine, died following what was supposed to be a routine surgical procedure in 2005.Martin's journey isn't just about personal loss—it's about his relentless quest to understand why a well-trained, technically proficient medical team could still fall short in a critical moment. Drawing lessons from aviation, where errors spark investigation and learning rather than resignation, Martin became a pivotal force in bringing the science of human factors—a field all about understanding how people interact with their environment, teams, and tools—into the world of healthcare.In this conversation, we explore not just the events that launched his mission, but the broader issues of humility, communication, and system design. We talk about “can't intubate, can't ventilate” scenarios, reflect on the evolution of patient safety culture, and crack open the stubborn problem of medical hierarchy. Martin's story isn't just one of systemic frustration; it's also one of hope and tangible change.So whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient, or just someone curious about how lives can be saved not simply by skill, but by safer systems—this episode is a gripping, essential listen. Plug in and prepare to have your ideas about medicine, teamwork, and learning turned upside down.Episode HighlightsHumility in Healthcare – Humility is vital for professionals to learn, grow, and stay open to feedback, ultimately improving patient safety.Communication Saves Lives – Miscommunications in critical situations can be fatal; clear, assertive dialogue and defined roles are essential in emergencies.Teamwork Over Hierarchy – Breaking down rigid medical hierarchies empowers every team member to speak up for patient safety.Design Smarter Systems – Systems must be created to make errors less likely, whether via technology, checklists, or better equipment design. Independent Case Reviews – Conducting external, impartial reviews after adverse events helps identify root causes and leads to improvements.Small Changes, Big Impact – Reducing steps in processes, standardizing equipment, or tweaking procedures can greatly decrease error risks.Continuous Improvement Mindset – Perfection isn't possible, but aiming to get a little better every day is the key to safer healthcare for all.Episode Timestamps 6:15 — Turning Point: Embracing Human Factors 7:19 — "Science Overlooked in Healthcare" 11:01 — Intensive Care Transfer Decision 14:51 — Receptionist Sparks Important Meeting 18:11 — Evolution of Case Review Processes 22:27 — "Human Factors in Healthcare Initiative" 25:02 — Origin of Aviation Safety Protocols 28:28 — Enhancing Safety in Drug Handling 30:30 — Medication Errors and Design Flaws 33:49 — Promoting Human Factors in Healthcare 38:04 — Team Leadership in Medical Procedures 42:51 — Healthcare Pressures and Consequences 44:47 — "Concerns Over Arrogant Healthcare Professionals" 50:16 — Striving for Continuous Improvement in Healthcare 52:36 — Progress in Healthcare Culture ShiftDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Users, threat actors, and the system design all influence—and are influenced by—one another. To design safer systems, we first need to understand the players who operate within those systems. Kelly Shortridge and Josiah Dykstra exemplify this human-centered approach in their work. In this episode we talk about:The vital role of human factors in cyber-resilience—how Josiah and Kelly apply a behavioral-economics mindset every day to design safer, more adaptable systems.Key cognitive biases that undermine incident response (like action bias and opportunity costs) and simple heuristics to counter them.The “sludge” strategy: deliberately introducing friction to attacker workflows to increase time, effort, and financial costs—as Kelly says, “disrupt their economics.”Why moving from a security culture of shame and blame to one of open learning and continuous improvement is essential for true cybersecurity resilience.Kelly Shortridge is VP, Security Products at Fastly, formerly VP of Product Management and Product Strategy at Capsule8. She is the author of Security Chaos Engineering: Sustaining Resilience in Software and Systems.Josiah Dykstra is the owner of Designer Security, human-centered security advocate, cybersecurity researcher, and former Director of Strategic Initiatives at Trail of Bits.

In this special crossover episode, Max Trescott, host of the Aviation News Talk podcast, appears as a guest on Dr. Tony Kern's Only Human podcast. The two aviation safety advocates engage in a candid, insightful conversation that bridges their shared backgrounds in aviation, safety culture, and leadership. The episode begins with a segment called “This Week in Safety Land,” spotlighting a tragic helicopter crash involving tourists over the Hudson River. The Director of Operations (DO) at the company involved chose to cease operations pending investigation, only to be overruled and fired by the CEO—prompting FAA intervention. Max and Tony reflect on this as a textbook example of the ongoing conflict between operational production and safety protection, a dynamic familiar in aviation, military, and corporate environments alike. They explore how profit-driven decisions often undermine safety, and how organizations with high-risk operations must prioritize a culture that empowers safety-conscious leadership. Tony shares a story of elephants at the San Diego Zoo sensing an earthquake before it was perceptible to humans—forming a protective circle around the young. Max likens this to the importance of organizational structures that support bottom-up safety communication. Drawing on his early career at Hewlett-Packard, he praises HP's open-door policy that encouraged employees to escalate safety issues when necessary. He stresses that open communication channels are essential, especially in high-risk domains. Max then shares his personal journey from a successful 25-year career at HP to full-time aviation after a layoff. What began as a side hobby teaching flying eventually evolved into a full-time vocation, spurred in part by a deeply personal tragedy: the death of a close friend and five others in a preventable aircraft accident. Max, who arrived on the crash scene within 45 minutes and attended multiple funerals that week, found a new purpose—preventing similar accidents by educating pilots. That experience drove Max to start Aviation News Talk, where he strives to deliver rich, actionable content on general aviation safety. His mission: to save lives by making safety knowledge accessible, engaging, and relevant to every pilot—from student to professional. He explains that his podcast is designed to offer “at least one nugget of value per episode” that listeners can apply immediately. Tony and Max discuss the unglamorous public perception of safety roles—often viewed as dull or punitive. Tony notes that safety officers are often assigned the job after incidents or during grounding periods. Max offers a reframing: don't lead with safety—lead with professionalism. If pilots strive to be excellent in their craft, safety naturally follows. “Do your job well, be curious, be disciplined,” Max says—traits that elevate both personal performance and safety outcomes. They turn to current trends, asking whether aviation is getting less safe. While total accident numbers may be down, Max points out that media coverage is up, and many general aviation (GA) accidents—especially runway excursions involving business jets—suggest continued risks. What matters more than raw numbers, he explains, is the accident rate per 100,000 hours flown, data that lags by over a year. For GA pilots, the accident risk remains significant, especially among newer or less experienced pilots. Looking forward, Max and Tony explore the safety challenges of tomorrow. Max debunks the idea of achieving a static “safe state” and explains that aviation is inherently dynamic—subject to changes in personnel, technology, weather, and processes. He highlights the importance of conducting safety assessments prior to changes in operations, procedures, or equipment. Quoting safety expert Todd Conklin, Max describes accidents as “the unexpected combination of normal aviation variability,” reinforcing the need for ongoing vigilance. Tony adds that while technological innovations—like AI, automation, and real-time training—offer efficiency, they don't guarantee increased safety. Often, humans simply push the margins when given better tools. He uses anti-lock brakes as an analogy: rather than driving more safely, people just drive faster. Similarly, faster, cheaper training methods could reduce experience levels without solving core human performance issues. The conversation closes with Max outlining the timeless characteristics of a great aviator: Judgment – the most critical trait, separating the skilled from the safe. Curiosity – a desire to learn, explore, and seek out knowledge. Discipline and consistency – following procedures and making flights “boring” in the best way. Situational awareness – understanding not just your own position, but what everyone else in the airspace is trying to do. Humility – recognizing that overconfidence kills and that learning never stops. Max emphasizes that aviation teaches life skills: staying humble, seeking excellence, and always being ready to learn. He ends by inviting listeners to consider flight training—not just for fun, but as a profound growth experience. Learning to fly, he says, can change how you see the world and yourself. Tony echoes the sentiment, encouraging listeners to take a discovery flight and explore the possibility. As the episode wraps, both hosts agree: while aviation may be unforgiving, it offers unmatched rewards for those who approach it with professionalism and passion.

It's been too long but here is my new episode. It started with the second-to-last scene in an 'Outer Limits' episode from 1963 entitled "The Human Factor". Brought yours truly straight to tears. Then we hurtled through time to 1996, to Cliff Robertson's touching redemption at the end of another 'Outer Limits' episode, entitled "Joyride". The combination of these two genius moments equipped PZ to talk about... yes... Anglicanism... and yes... the Episcopal Church... and yes... contemporary parish ministry. But I couldn't go there until my heart was ready. And that work was achieved by Sally Kellerman and Gary Merrill in 1963. Incidentally, I recommend you begin your sermon preparation -- maybe any public preparation -- by getting in touch with your heart. (People aren't really that interested in your mind.) Get in touch with your heart and you might actually convince somebody. Oh, and by the way, I'm an Episcopal minister and still glad to be one. (And we go to a great church.) LUV U.
