Abstract

Human factors has a science to it but is actually a very experiential field comprising engineers, designers, social scientists and others. Some say that the easiest way to learn from the experience of others is via stories, a tradition 1000s of years old. So, today we are going to try it, delivering our experiences with human factors via seven (7) hopefully interesting stories from our experience that will hopefully also have relevant aspects to your work.
