Building a Tribe: Why Change Needs Community, Not Just Communication
Thursday 18 March 2027
11:30 am - 12:00 pm

What if the best way to change safety thinking isn’t another training course, campaign or procedure, but a community? In this session, Stephen Harvey shares the story of building the Brisbane Safety Differently Book Club, a community that brings together safety practitioners, frontline leaders, academics, authors and curious people to explore new ideas about safety and how they work in the real world. Stephen will explore how creating a space for curiosity, conversation and respectful disagreement can help people challenge established thinking without feeling judged. Drawing on lessons from building the community, he’ll share practical ideas for creating your own “tribe” where people can learn from each other, test ideas and change their thinking together.
