We help people deal with complex risks
Slice is a young Dutch consultancy. We focus on pragmatic risk management for humans and help organisations worldwide with methods like bowtie, barrier failure analysis and scenario-based auditing.
Bowtie risk analysis
Bowties communicate complex risks with ease.
A bowtie is a diagram that structures risk analysis and communicates risks in an understandable picture. It is used in all high risk industries and is regarded by many as a best practice approach to do risk assessment.
Training
Learn how to build a bowtie and use it in practice. We offer tailor made and public courses from 0.5 to 3 days. Contact us if you want to know more.
Workshops
Slice can help guide a workshop in the right direction. We have facilitated countless workshops in a variety of industries. This allows us to guide a discussion in the right direction to get to the real issues.
Implementation
Slice helps you design a risk assessment process that works. Organisations often struggle to set the right context. We develop pragmatic guidelines to ensure a consistent and efficient approach to bowtie.
Software
We use BowTieXP to support the bowtie analysis process and can train a BowTieXP expert inside your organisation. With more than 10 years experience using BowTieXP, we can help with anything related to the software.
Incident analysis
Cut through the noise and learn from incidents more efficiently.
Incident analysis can provide valuable insight in organisational performance if done right. There are a lot of different methodologies, but the best ones make you think one step further and make it easy to communicate the results afterwards. They avoid easy answers and get to the core lessons to be learned. We use barrier based methods like Barrier Failure Analysis because they accomplish all those goals.
Training
Learn how to improve the way you investigate and analyse incidents in practice. We offer tailor made and public courses from 0.5 to 3 days. Contact us if you want to know more.
Incident meta analysis
Creating overview across multiple incidents can be difficult. We offer incident meta analysis, which is done by taking multiple incidents and plotting them onto a common model to see which scenarios keep happening and which barriers keep failing for which reasons.
Implementation
Slice helps organisations implement effective systems for incident reporting, investigation, analysis and follow up.
Software
We use IncidentXP to analyse incidents and we'll help you do the same. We've used it since the first release, so we can help with anything you might want to know.
Operationalising barriers
Get the right barrier information to the right person at the right time.
One of the problems with risk assessment is that the reports are often forgotten after they're made. To avoid this, ask what you can do after barriers in an organisation have been identified. Slice specialises in operationalising barrier management by making it useful for a person making a decision.
Training
Learn to implement barrier management effectively. We offer tailor made and public courses in barrier management from 0.5 to 3 days. Contact us if you want to know more.
Barrier maturity model
The barrier maturity model allows you to determine where your organisation currently is and see which steps can be taken to mature to a higher level of barrier management. Read more
Implementation
Implementation can be challenging because it requires tailoring information to the specific needs of a person. Transforming barrier models into something more suitable for operations is where Slice can help.
Software
We use a combination of tools like BowTieServer, AuditXP and BowTieXP to support operational barrier management where needed.
Use criticality to find important barriers
Which risk barriers are the most important? This question can be answered with barrier criticality. In this article we discuss why & how to approach barrier criticality as well as some challenges.

It can be a challenge to know what to use bowties for. In this webinar we show different practical applications of bowties. From risk communication to barrier monitoring and decision support.
Read more5 reasons why analysing barrier failures is better than 5-why
I hope you'll forgive me, but I don't really like 5-why. It's a decent methodology, but I think there are better options. Instead, we can use barrier-based incident analysis methods. Why is this better? Well, here are 5 reasons why I think analysing barrier failures is better than 5-why.

Slice was founded by Jasper Smit and Alex de Ruijter. We help people work with and understand their complex risks. We believe models should serve people, not the other way around.
