After 15 years working in safety and risk management in natural resource industries in Canada, Dr. Laura Maguire began studying new ways of supporting front-line practitioners in high hazard work and in organizing and designing work systems to enable safe, productive operations through the lens of resilience engineering. She brings a grounded and adaptable approach to studying users that helps define clear problem statements and facilitates collaborative work across multiple stakeholder groups to find integrated process and product solutions.
