A moving society requires a fresh look at safety.
As our society evolves, it's essential to reevaluate our approach to safety.
We must rely on one another, as changes bring new security challenges that demand collective creativity.
Recognizing that these issues cannot be resolved in isolation is crucial, yet collaboration poses its own difficulties-each organization is often deeply entrenched in its own ambitions and priorities.
To enhance the safety of our society, it is vital that we step out of our comfort zones.
Embracing this discomfort for the greater good can lead to innovative solutions and a safer environment for all.
Safety requires ongoing partnership and shared responsibility.
By co-creating solutions, organizations can leverage diverse perspectives and expertise to address safety challenges more effectively.

Continuous Collaboration for Safety
Change Together
Implementing changes and innovations among multiple organizations presents significant challenges.
The journey begins with mutual respect for the interests of all participants, which includes recognizing and valuing everyone's contributions and perspectives regarding the changes.
Collaboration can be particularly complex in public-private partnerships.
While private entities often reach mutual agreements and public entities share similar missions, the dynamics shift when they collaborate.
Differences in how each party views the significance of the core change can create barriers.
Successful collaboration demands effective communication and a commitment to understanding the mutual interests and goals of all stakeholders
To illustrate this process, Jan Otten's accompanying drawing provides valuable insight into how collaboration should be approached;→
When all parties are prepared to engage with respect for each other's missions and visions, they are well-positioned to develop a shared vision, paving the way for effective co-creation.
Connect with Dissenters
Innovation requires discipline and perseverance, with a clear objective in mind.
The most crucial step is to step outside your comfort zone, take the plunge, and engage with individuals who hold different viewpoints.
In times of challenge, some will build a shelter while others construct a windmill.
To foster innovation, we should work together in a triple helix collaboration involving Education, Government, and Business.
This approach emphasizes understanding the foundation of different judgments and the motivating goals of each party.
Collaboration begins with respect and knowledge of one another's objectives, as illustrated in the drawing by Jan Otten on the right, →
Consider the distinct motivations: a scientist prioritizes research, an entrepreneur seeks solutions and funding, while the government aims for a harmonious society.
When we respect each other's missions and visions, we are more likely to achieve a shared vision, enabling the potential for co-creation.
One successful application of this collaborative spirit is the methodology of the Safety & Security Atelier.
Below are the 10 steps of this method:
