Managing Change: The Impact of Strategic Decisions on Personnel and Processes

Canada continues to experience an excellent safety record in commercial aviation. In order to maintain or improve upon this record, the effects of constant organizational change must be anticipated, planned for and managed effectively. To achieve this in a safety management system (SMS) environment, with accelerated attrition rates and increased air traffic demands, the industry must strive to fulfill its needs for key personnel and processes, which should assist in better decision making, both at the strategic and operational levels.

The Canadian civil aviation industry has long recognized the benefits of multi-disciplinary skill sets for its next generation of aviation personnel, and the need for proven organizational processes. CASS 2008 will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss how best to achieve this. Through interactive workshops with colleagues and specialists, followed by presentations in plenary by aviation professionals, delegates will be offered strategies and ideas to bring back to their organization for continued improvements in safety.

CASS creates an opportunity to hear high-profile speakers from the academic, operational, regulatory and management worlds. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to discuss and find solutions to their safety management issues in a workshop setting.

CASS is a wonderful opportunity for anyone involved in the aviation industry to gather important safety information and make valuable industry contacts.
