Innovating under pressure: Using systems change for risk management in the humanitarian sector

The workshop addresses how escalating risks and shrinking budgets can undermine an organisation’s Duty of Care and uses systems thinking to explore more sustainable, collaborative ways to protect staff safety and wellbeing - even when resources are limited. By shifting the focus from reactive fixes to underlying systems, this session empowers participants to explore the root causes of persistent safety challenges and identify low-cost, high-impact actions that can improve safety outcomes across departments and roles.
