Boeing – Learning from the Two 737 MAX Aircraft Crashes
Based on Professor Hopkins’ latest book, Boeing, the 737 MAX Crisis and Aviation Safety: The Perils of Profit-Driven Engineering, the package includes Discussion Notes that align with each of the book’s 11 chapters and include up to nine thought-provoking questions per chapter. For example, in Chapter 10.2: Reflections on Safety Culture, one key question is: “What does it mean to treat safety culture as an organisational property, rather than a characteristic of individuals?”
“This is not a story about individual error, but about organisational design failure.”
— Professor Andrew Hopkins
Formats Available: Corporate Licence
What’s Included in the Core Training Package
In one of the most shocking failures in aviation history, two brand-new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft crashed within five months of each other, claiming 346 lives. At the heart of the tragedy was a design vulnerability known as a *single point of failure* — a concept that safety professionals must understand to prevent future disasters.
Professor Andrew Hopkins unpacks this catastrophic failure not as a technical flaw, but as a systemic collapse of safety governance, leadership, and culture at one of the world’s most prestigious companies.
