Gerry Binnema
Gerry is a dynamic
and engaging speaker but look for more than just entertainment from him.
His strong academics and work experience will provide you with solid information
and skilled facilitation. As a life long learner, he has earned a Bachelor
degree from Trinity Western University and a Masters Degree in System Safety
from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. In addition he has availed himself
of any opportunity to learn and has taken courses on facilitation,
communication, and conflict resolution. In 2005 he travelled to Lund University
in Sweden to study at a post graduate level with Dr. Sydney Dekker, author of
“The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations.”
You can trust Gerry to effectively lead
your workshop since he
has led countless workshops as a Safety Officer with Transport Canada (TC). He helped develop the Crew
Resource Management workshop and the Pilot Decision Making workshop offered by TC. In addition he recently helped develop new systemic tools for System Safety
at TC, and then was part of the team that designed and delivered training for
the new tools.
If you want to implement new systems in
your organization, Gerry has the experience to help you. He was a key part
of the team that implemented the risk management processes into everyday use at
Transport Canada. Gerry trained most of the Pacific Region inspectors and
today, risk management terminology is part of their vocabulary. When there were complex critical aviation safety decisions to be
made, Gerry was the one managers relied on to facilitate a group through the
risk management process. Gerry implemented a Safety Management System for
a small Christian mission organization in Saharan Africa, and is currently
developing one at his glider club.
Gerry is a trained and experienced
facilitator and has faced the challenge of numerous high stakes meetings. He is also a trained facilitator for the Strength
Deployment Inventory, and Human Synergistic’s team synergy tools. His calm,
personable style helps defuse conflict, and keeps everyone’s attention focussed
on the issues at hand.
Gerry also has extensive experience in
occurrence investigation. As an investigator with the Transportation Safety
Board, Gerry was a Board approved investigator, and led or participated in over
40 investigations. At TC, Gerry was appointed as the Minister’s Observer for
over 60 investigations, helping to identify critical issues for the
department, and advocating for change. This experience, combined with his
education, helps Gerry zero in on systemic safety issues at an organization. In
addition he has the ability to identify systems or tools that will mitigate the
issues.
Gerry also has an Airline Transport Pilot License, an
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers license, a Class 1 flight instructor rating, an
instrument rating, seaplane rating, glider pilot license, and glider instructor
rating.
