Companies, therefore, have a legal obligation to follow government-issued fire safety laws and legislation. Maintaining proper fire safety in care homes is indeed a crucial concern as it is a matter of life and death because of the vulnerable people residing there. During any emergency relating to fire, it is extremely difficult to evacuate the vulnerable residents safely as most of them are very old or completely bedridden. This course is designed to equip you with basic fire safety awareness with additional safety measures tailored specifically for anyone who owns or works in a care home. This course will train you to respond quickly and efficiently if a fire breaks out in care homes and ensure the vulnerable occupants are evacuated safely out of the danger zone. The London Fire Brigade upon investigation came to the conclusion that 29% of the care homes had failures relating to fire doors within their premises, 10% had inadequate training for staff and managers and 14% had evidence of poor emergency planning or a potential lack of staff to implement emergency plans. Hence, it is significantly important for care homes to train their staff with the essential knowledge and skills to tackle any unfortunate fire events that may occur within the premises and implement emergency plans to mitigate the potential risks associated with fire. Upon successful completion of this Fire Safety Awareness Training Course, you will be able to work out effective evacuations and risk assessment plans to avoid injuries or even fatalities that can result in tragic incidents such as death.

Compass for Agility - Leveraging Agility for Business Problem-Solving Join Leila Rao as she introduces the Compass for Agility. This 90-day iterative approach is a pragmatic and personalized method, enabling organizations to build the capacity and culture for responding to challenges and opportunities. This provides a structure for organizations to explore what'ss working and what isnTt in their ecosystem to successfully and sustainably build the capability for continuous learning and improvement. The Compass helps with addressing "wicked" business problems set apart by one key variation: agile is the how, not the "why". Enhancing business agility is a fortunate by-product of directly resolving pain points because agile serves as the means, not the end. Empower your organization to orient itself by its unique needs and values so that you can continually create customized maps as you chart your own journey in volatile and uncertain terrains.

Inspiring The Human-Centered Organization - Three Laws of Business Agility In his keynote, Steve Denning will take you along on his journey in which he first encountered the success of the agile approach in software development and witnessed how this innovative method slowly but surely became the norm in many large multinationals. As Steve got more involved in the agile method, he and other members of the SD Learning Consortium set out on a quest to find out what is real agile, and what is fake? What was successful, and what was not? They found that what was needed is an Agile Mindset. It's a different way of looking at, thinking about, understanding and interacting with the world. In relation to this mindset, they identified what he calls the 'Three Business Laws of Agile'. During his presentation, Steve will explain these laws in depth, helping you to understand how you too can adopt this Agile Mindset yourself.
