SAFE, PRODUCTIVE OPERATIONS & SUSTAINABLE PROFITABILITY

Focused on the foundational factors that have the most significant impact on sustainable profitability, our targeted research has bridged the gap between management action and how employees exerience the workplace environment. We then connect the employee experience to the creation of a safe, productive, and sustainably profitable operation. Nothing could be more important in terms of maintaining a viable business entity.

We can help with any of the following organizational challenges:

● Shaping culture to promote safe, productive, and sustainably profitable operations.

● Development of training and knowledge management programs.

● Advancement of digital and SMART technologies.

● Mitigation of risk with barrier-based techniques.

● Mitigation of workplace stress.

● Management of change.

● Creation of Blue Ocean strategies.

Our unique and diverse background of experiences augments the depth of our business expertise and knowledge particularly in the area of human factors while ensuring that we bring a refreshingly creative perspective based on science, logic, and the ease of a successful remediation to the serious issues facing the management team. Consulting/coaching sessions can address organizational issues or be designed to meet the specific needs of individuals at any level within the organization. Sessions range from a minimum of two hours in length and can extend over a longer periods of time as needed by the client.

We operate on the philosphy that all parties must be pleased with the arrangement and the results.

DIGITAL READINESS ASSESSMENT

Current economic conditions challenge all business operations and present the clear and present need to implement changes. Business executives across the globe realize that change is inevitable. Given the challenges of implementing new programs particularly those involving Digital Age technologies, we have developed and offer a Digital Readiness Assessment in conjunction with Effective Managers™ which evaluates organizational readiness for implementing change whether it involves any of the new digital technologies or other innovative efficiencies.

The assessment tool evaluates the effectiveness of ten key areas of operation critical to the success of important change projects. When all ten areas are operating effectively, the organization is in the best position to implement change with a minimum of disruption. The assessment tool returns immediate value to the client operation and digital implementation vendor by identifying areas ready for an implementation while flagging other areas that could benefit from attention or improvements prior to an implementation.

This valuable tool performs the following useful functions in advance of a significant implementation project:

● Evaluates digital change readiness in 10 critical operational areas that impact business results.

● Provides guidance in remedying problematic situations that can cause costly delays.

● Ensures valuable time, enegy and resources are devoted to achieving the targeted ROI.

● Prevents layering disruption over dysfunction in key operational areas.

Targeting a small but representative sample of the workforce, the convenient online assessment tool provides valuable information without burdening the client operation with an invasive, time consuming survey. Individual identities of the assessment team remain confidential. The result is valuable information concerning issues that can have a serious impact on the ability of the implementation project to produce a positive ROI.

Make certain your organization is ready for the challenges of a digital implementation to improve the chances of acheiving your targeted ROI given the reality that most such implementations fall short.
