Change Management in Aviation Safety (Change Management in Aviation Safety)

Change management in aviation safety is an important part of controlling the risks that can arise when an organization changes its operations. The program provides a change-management approach that helps trainees identify the related issues, build management options, and control risk so that safety is assured throughout operations.
Delivered for: Vietnam Airlines

Program information

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Format: In person, classroom-based
  • Target audience: Safety managers
  • Instructor: Aviation safety expert
  • Class size: 30 participants

Why does change management in aviation safety need to be carried out systematically?

Change is one of the largest sources of risk in operations. A change may be implemented to meet a requirement of the organization, but from a safety standpoint what matters is not only what is changed, but how that change affects the system and which risks it may cause to appear.
In many organizations:
  • Changes have been implemented but risks have not been fully assessed
  • Lack of a Change Management Process Linked to Safety
  • Departments implementing change are not yet coordinated
  • The impact of change on the system has not yet been controlled.

Coordinate control of risk arising from change in aviation operations
Change management requires coordination among departments to identify, assess, and control risks that may arise during operations.

This can lead to new risks arising beyond what was anticipated. Change management in aviation safety therefore needs to be seen as a process of controlling the risks attached to the change itself, rather than only dealing with problems after the change has been implemented.

Program objectives

The program aims to help participants understand and build a change-management approach linked to safety. Specifically, participants are equipped to:
  • Identify Issues Related to Change
  • Understand the Role of Change Management in Safety
  • Develop a change management plan
  • Apply to real-world situations.
The core point is to help participants form a view of change from a safety perspective: attending not only to implementing the change, but also to identifying the issues and risks that may accompany that process.

Program content: Change Management in Aviation Safety

The Program Focuses on Four Content Areas:
Related legal issues:Participants are introduced to legal issues related to change management, creating a foundation for understanding the context of change management in aviation safety.
Why is change management needed?:Clarify the role of change management in identifying and controlling risks that may arise when the organization implements operational change.
Trends and methods:Participants are introduced to trends and methods related to change management, thereby broadening their view of implementation in practice.
Case studies: Real-world scenarios are used to help participants connect knowledge with change-related issues they may encounter in the operational environment.
The program content is connected in one continuous thread, from understanding the context and recognizing the need for change management, to approaching trends and methods, and analyzing real situations.

Delivery approach

Change management cannot be understood at the conceptual level alone. The ability to identify risk and develop management options needs to be placed in specific change situations.
The program is therefore delivered by combining theory with practice through case studies, and by analyzing situations of change in operations. Through the analysis of situations, trainees can examine the issues that may arise from change and understand how to apply a change-management approach in practice.

Value gained after the program

After completing the program, participants can:
  • Identify risks arising from change
  • Develop a change management plan
  • Enhancing risk control capability
  • Integrate Change Management with the Safety System.
An important value of the program lies in forming a more proactive approach to change: identifying and controlling risks that may arise in the course of change, rather than only reacting to problems that appear afterward.

Which units is the program suitable for?

The program is suitable for:
  • Organizations with Frequent Operational Changes
  • Management and safety team
  • Organizations need to control risks arising from change

Every change needs to be controlled from a safety perspective

Change is part of operations, but the way change is managed affects the ability to control risks that may arise. Every change needs to be controlled from a safety perspective.
Hung Viet supports assessment of risk arising from changes, development of a change management process, and adjustment to operational specifics, helping the organization approach change management in relation to its safety system and its actual context.
