BowTie Fast-Track

What is BowTie Fast-Track?

BowTie is widely recognised as aviation’s best practice in risk management. However, for many organisations, creating the risk models and integrating them into their existing systems has traditionally required significant time, effort, and resources.

BowTie Fast-Track removes those obstacles. It offers a ready-to-use solution that includes a set of expertly developed, pre-populated BowTie diagrams tailored to specific aviation industry operations. Combined with the industry leading software (BowTieXP), targeted training, and hands-on support, BowTie Fast-Track allows aviation organisations to integrate the tool quickly and efficiently—without the usual overhead and delay.

With BowTie Fast-Track, operations can realise the full benefits of BowTie risk management faster, more easily, and with the confidence that comes from using a proven set of models as the foundation upon which to build.

BowTie Fast-Track is currently available to airlines. See here for further information.
