“Strategic Planning for Safety Excellence”

‘HOW’ excellence companies plan for different…better results
 

It’s October 1st and that dreaded call comes in from the boss: “Third quarter results are disappointing…the board wants a 10% reduction across the board…have your annual goals and action plan on my desk Tuesday morning!”

What’s a Safety Manager to do? More training, more audits, more observations, more discipline…more of what hasn’t worked before? Most organizations achieve average results for one basic reason—they fail to plan for excellent ones. This presentation identifies the need for organizations to engage in a strategic planning process…if safety excellence is the objective. The session explores strategic planning, and builds a seven-step proprietary strategic change model, which can guide an organization in developing a dynamic strategy for safety excellence by:

• Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.   - Seneca (4 B.C.-A.D. 65)

  Raising the safety bar on Purpose

• Choosing a Mission of safety excellence

• Sighting in a Vision of safety excellence

• Managing from the Values dimension.

• Making safety excellence a matter of Principles

• Bridging the GAP – Selecting excellence Strategies

• Developing Tactics and Action Plans.

Excellence companies know that there are only two types of decisions worthy of their time and attention, 1) strategic decisions, and 2) strategically driven decisions. For all other organizations, there’s the more common approach—darts anyone?

As a result of attending this session, participants will:

• Understand that safety excellence requires a strategy, i.e., a focus on ‘directional change’ -- not more of the same, quicker, or cheaper.

• Understand that excellence is the product of a multi-stepped ‘thinking process’ that addresses the core competencies, organizational values, and human resource practices of an organization.

• Be able to identify the seven critical steps’ of a ‘Strategic Planning for Safety Excellence’ process, and be able to introduce such a process in their organizations.
