“Cracking the Genetic Code of Safety Excellence”

FACT: The genetic make-up ninety-nine (99%) of all human beings is exactly the same…and, the overall genetic makeup of the human species differs from that of the Chimpanzee by only 2%. What a difference this ‘minute variation’ makes! It’s called DNA, the molecule of life, and it contains the individual genetic code that determines our personal uniqueness, ability to replicate, and ultimately, our ability to survive…and that difference is huge!  

In 2003, research scientists made history by unraveling the double helix deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule containing all human genes, and mapping the complete human DNA sequence responsible for the development, functioning, and replication of a human life…our individual genetic code.
And, just as all humans have a unique genetic code, so to do all business organizations. Each business entity has it’s own unique ‘DNA profile’, some times referred to as ‘culture’, which guides it’s formation, capability ability to accomplish its mission…and ultimately determines its sustainability. Similar in form, organizational DNA is also of a ‘double helix’ construction. On one strand of its organizational life molecule are its key ‘management’ skills: Planning, Organizing, Directing, Controlling, and monitoring, and on the other, its critical ‘leadership’ attributes: Envisioning, Engaging, Enabling, Empowering, and Energizing.

This seminar explores the DNA OF SAFETY EXCELLENCE, the seven critical organizational attributes, which when managed and led effectively, determine peak safety performance in an organization: PURPOSE - VISION – VALUES – PRINCIPLES - MISSION – STRATEGY and TACTICS.

Specific issues addressed and explored in this seminar include:

• The Transformation process requisite to excellence.

• The impediments to excellence posed by traditional safety ‘Wiz-dumb’.

• The common denominator (and differentiating factor) of Leading Vs. Managing.

• The high performance ‘Leader – Manager’ model of excellence.

• The necessity to take back ‘control’ of the causes of at-risk behaviors.

• The hard numbers case for safety excellence.

• The ‘Biz-case’ for goaling beyond ‘Zero Accidents”.

• The dangerous ‘DISCONNECT’ that plagues safety measurement and management.

• Determining the Optimum ‘Cost of Safety’.
