Join us on Tuesday 19 October 2021 for a Usability Mapping Awareness Webinar
The Usability Awareness presentation focuses on creating safer work procedures, standards, guidelines and technical manuals. Attendees will learn why we use the sciences of human cognition, learning and behavior patterns as well as psycholinguistics to drive and guide the behavior of users to keep them safer.
We'll review the principles underlying Usability Mapping and how you can create safer documentation faster and cheaper than traditional technical writing.
If you write anything to help anyone get something done, or manage teams that do, this presentation is for you.

About the Presenter
Klaus Hofer
A corporate psychologist by training, Klaus’s passion for Usability Mapping was triggered by a serious incident that endangered the life of an unsuspecting hospital patient. In search of the cause, he found only opinions, judgmental answers and countless rules.
This led him to the question: “How can well trained, focused and dedicated professionals make mistakes that could kill someone?” The question in turn led him to a lifetime of research, development and now promoting the scientific principles that underpin the development of safer, more usable documentation. He founded CAT-i in 2003 and has personally trained over 6,000 professionals in 38 organizations world-wide.
Born in Austria, Klaus now lives in Canada and spends his spare time on his second passion – music.
