When it came to training 150,000 seats (a person in a specific class) in less than 6 months time without disrupting hospital operations and getting doctors who were notorious for avoiding training to complete the courses, I hired a company that used gamification of courses like anatomy and physiology, and ICD-10 coding. We were successful in providing all training on time and under budget in so doing changed how physicians reacted to training forever.

6 Secrets Of The Worlds Safest Companies

ERM  occasionally sponsors free seminars in Southeast Michigan. In this particular short presentation I explore how injuries are really just process failures. 

Detroit breakfast nov2015 slides  pcl

Getting it right makes all the difference. I encountered so many companies who, when I would tell them what they needed to do would say, &quot;We&#39;re already doing that&quot;.  I was skeptical but they were right...but they were doing those things wrong!

Its not what you do but how you do it

Your company culture, in the broadest strokes, is defined by the shared values of the population of the organization.  These values have to be much more than what is plastered in the posters on the walls, but must guide every decision that every worker makes.  So if you are unhappy with your culture and wish to change it you will have to examine your values, your REAL values not the ones to which you aspire.

Changing culture means changing values

There is nothing quite so frustrating as calling your customers and having them not return your calls.  A &quot;no&quot; ,may sting, but a year of &quot;maybe&#39;s just drive you crazy! This presentation was first made at Office Expo in Dublin, Ireland and it explains the many good reasons that your customer won&#39;t call you back.

Why won&amp;#39;t my customer call me back

We worry too much about preventing disasters and forget about creating an environment that fosters worker safety and security.

Causing safety

Injuries are not just an indicator of a poorly functioning safety effort, it is a symptom of a poorly run business. This presentation shows the connection between a high functioning business and lower risk, higher productivity, and fewer injuries.

Safety as a business output

Too many companies feel like it will cost way too much money to keep workers safe. This presentation was made at the Lakeshore Safety Meeting and demonstrates how a company can decrease risk without breaking the bank

Improving safety without going broke

To effect change you must change yourself. The examples set by all leaders from the CEO to the front-line supervisors and team leaders

Be the change you want to see

Featured at the Society for Applied Learning Technology this presentation identifies ways in which companies can leverage technology to deploy safety courses to the widest possible audience quickly and effectively

The secret to workplace organization lies in the 5 s&#39;, Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. This is a tool used in lean manufacturing and has been adapted to numerous discipline.
