Fostering Leadership Episode 1 – When Opportunity Knocks
Human Factors Guidance Listed in FDA 2016 Priorities
The FDA has released the CDRH Fiscal Year 2016 (FY 2016) Proposed Guidance Development and Focused Retrospective Review of Final Guidance.
In it they included Applying Human Factors & Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design on their “A-list” (…a list of prioritized device guidance documents that the Agency intends to publish within 12 months of the date this list is published…).
It should be noted that the draft guidance was also on the A-list for FY 2015. I’ll be interested to see if the final guidance is published this year and whether it is substantially different or not from the draft guidance.
University of Washington Fostering Leadership Series
In the fall of 2010, the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington collaborated with UWTV Channel 27 to present the eight part series Fostering Leadership.
Each episode was a half-hour and focused on exploring key questions pertaining to leadership. The series includes interviews with Bruce Avolio, Sally Jewell, Jim Sinegal, Howard Behar, John Yokayama, John J. Nance, Kathleen Bartholomew, and Brad Tilden, just to name a few.
I’ll be posting each of the episodes over the next several days.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I hope you had a very enjoyable holiday season and are ready to attack 2016. I’m looking forward to sharing more posts on a variety of exciting topics including: healthcare, innovation, leadership, teams, decision making, and human factors.
