Where do behavioral economics and modern aviation align?

Following the launch of our latest white paper: ‘How Behavioral Nudges Saved Virgin Atlantic $6.1m in 8 Months’, we’re excited to get together operational efficiency driven peers in the aviation industry over our virtual roundtable ‘Little Changes Add Up in Aviation’. 

               Thursday, 19th of November, 2020 at 5pm GMT/12 pm Eastern Time.


With:
Rob Metcalfe Co-Founder of Signol, Associate Professor at University of Southern California
Captain Andy Greig Training Captain at Jet2

We recognize that implementing methods driving little but incremental changes is pivotal for an organization and even more urgent under the turbulent circumstances. But how can this be prioritized when airlines need to keep the safety of crew and passengers first and changes must go through dense regulations and complement a variety of technology systems and circumstances?


The round table discussion will center on the practical issues and applicable solutions for encouraging sustainable and pilot driven procedures including:

  • Nudge theory in aviation;
  • Small changes versus new technology;
  • Privacy and data;
  • Anticipated changes due to the current market and Covid-19.


The session will be moderated by Natalie LeRoy, Product Manager at Signol.


Join us for a roundtable discussion and Q&A session where the audience can get their on-topic questions answered live. We’re inviting you to send your questions ahead of the live session to vanessa@signol.io. 


The roundtable discussion will be a live streamed session over Zoom. Make sure you RSVP for free over Eventbrite in order to receive access to the session on the day.
