Transformative Simulation – Safety through a non-healthcare lens

Summary

Building on the ideas introduced in the previous TfS Dispatch—a newsletter for anyone exploring simulation for change—which described the seven Simulation-Based Intentions (SBIs) using the analogy of different lenses, this paper continues the conversation by exploring how the lens we choose shapes the way simulation is designed and used. While the earlier paper focused on understanding the purpose behind simulation activities, this paper broadens the perspective by looking beyond healthcare and considering how other safety-critical industries approach simulation. By taking this wider view, we can begin to think not only about what we simulate, but more importantly what we are designing simulation to achieve.
