About this Webinar

Everyone is being told to move faster with AI. Organisations across every sector are racing to adopt it, often because they fear being left behind rather than because they have worked out where it adds real value. For health and safety professionals, that pace raises a harder question: in a profession built on care, how do we embrace what AI offers without losing the kindness, presence and time for people that make safety work?

In this session, Julian Taylor sits down with Dee Arp, Chief Quality Officer at NEBOSH, to explore why slowing down may be the most important leadership skill in an AI-accelerated world. Dee makes the case for having the courage to pause amid relentless change, starting with safety professionals themselves, so there is still room for the simple moment of checking in with a colleague.

Dee also brings the perspective of an awarding body. As AI changes what professionals do every day, qualifications and assessments have to keep pace. She will share how learning providers are beginning to respond, the challenge AI poses to open-book exams and practical assessments, and why the answer may lie less in policing malpractice and more in redesigning assessment around real professional practice, where AI may draft a policy but a human expert must still review it.

What You'll Learn

• The AI rush: Why organisations adopt AI to avoid being left behind, and how leaders can find where it adds real value before they commit.

• Slowing down is leadership: Why the courage to pause matters when change is relentless, and how safety leaders can protect their own capacity first.
•  Keeping our humanity: How care, kindness and human connection stay at the centre of safety practice as technology takes on more of the work.
• Qualifications in an AI world: How standards and qualifications are starting to respond, and what competence should look like when AI is part of everyday practice.
• Assessment and authenticity: Why open-book exams and practical assessments are exposed to malpractice, and whether to tighten controls or redesign assessment around how people use AI well.
• The expert who signs off: Why AI can draft the policy, but a professional must still review it, and which judgements cannot be handed over.
