Event Learning Taxonomy (CLUE): Turning incidents into insights

Watch this webinar video and explore how the new Event Learning Taxonomy (previously known as CLUE) can help you move beyond traditional, blame-oriented taxonomies and build a stronger foundation for organisational learning. The webinar shows how a neutral, learning-focused approach to incident reporting improves data quality, strengthens analysis, and supports better decisions over time. 

Event Learning Taxonomy focuses on everyday events and near misses, where most learning opportunities exist. By replacing complex cause hierarchies with a simple set of contributing factors, it makes it easier for people to describe the real conditions of work without adding complexity to the reporting experience. 

Whether you’re improving an existing incident management system or planning a new approach, this webinar will offer practical guidance you can apply in your own organisation. 

Webinar highlights include:

• How Event Learning Taxonomy reframes incident reporting from “who failed?” to “what shaped performance?”, using neutral, descriptive language that reduces implicit blame. 
• The core principles of Event Learning Taxonomy, including alignment with contemporary safety science and significant simplification  
• How integrating Event Learning Taxonomy into digital QHSE systems, such as Synergi Life, can improve reporting accuracy and reveal patterns across low and medium-severity events. 
• Practical examples of how Event Learning Taxonomy-based insights can inform more effective improvement actions and support long-term performance and safety goals.
