Keynotes

We are excited to announce our keynote speakers Dr. Mark Fleming, Dr. .Pascale Carayon, Dr. Jorgen Eklund, Dr Sharon Parker!

	Dr. Mark Fleming CN Professor of Safety Culture Department of Psychology Saint Mary's University Nova Scotia, Canada Mark is an applied psychologist with over 20 years of experience in industrial health and safety management in high hazard industries including the offshore oil and gas, nuclear power, petrochemical, power generation and construction. He is dedicated to developing practical and valid tools to assist organisations to prevent harm.
	Pascale Carayon, Ph.D. Procter & Gamble Bascom Professor in Total Quality Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering Director of the Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement University of Wisconsin-Madison Dr. Carayon’s research is about analyzing, designing and improving complex work systems such as those found in health care. In the past 14 years, she has focused her research on patient safety and other healthcare quality issues such as design and implementation of health information technologies. As an industrial and systems engineer, she is particularly interested in modeling complex system interactions in healthcare processes that can lead to medical errors and other adverse outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals. The multidisciplinary SEIPS research program within the Center for Quality and Productivity Improvement at the UW-Madison allows human factors and systems engineers to collaborate with health scientists (e.g., physicians, pharmacists, nurses) in tackling healthcare problems in various care settings such as the intensive care unit, operating rooms, other hospital environments and primary care, as well problems in transitions across organizational and physical boundaries in health care.
	Dr. Jorgen Eklund Professor Unit of Ergonomics School of Technology and Health Royal Institute of Technology Swiden Jörgen Eklund has an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Chalmers, Sweden, and a Ph.D. in Industrial Ergonomics from University of Nottingham, UK. His research has dealt with design of industrial work, workplaces and production systems. He was acting professor in Quality Technology at Linköping University and is now professor in Ergonomics at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, in Stockholm, Sweden. His research interests include applied ergonomics and especially interactions with quality and human performance. His research also covers organizational changes and the consequences from introducing TQM and Lean Production.
	Dr. Sharon Parker Director Centre for Transformative Work Design The University of Western Australia Australia Sharon Parker is a Professor at the University of Western Australia with research interests in work design, proactivity, organisational change, employee development, and related topics. She is a current ARC Laureate Fellow and a previous ARC Future Fellow. She currently teaches MBA students on the topic of Leading Self and Leading Others.
