Inverting the Organisation

Stronger Together: Fostering collaboration for sustainable change, through learning from past success

1. Leadership-Driven Approach

Co-Creation with Leaders: Engage a diverse group of leaders from various levels and across the region in the design phase of a Clients’ Safe Choice. This approach ensures the program reflects the real needs and aspirations of those it aims to empower and addresses any frustrations directly.

Leadership Engagement Sessions: Conduct one-on-one sessions and focus groups with leaders who have demonstrated effective safety leadership. Use these sessions to gather insights on what has worked, identify gaps, and understand leaders’ visions for a transformative safety leadership program.

2. Pull Strategy for Program Adoption

Engaging Content and Success Stories: Develop engaging content, such as one-minute videos featuring leaders and employees who have embraced the program. Highlighting success stories will encourage other leaders to adopt the program voluntarily.

Resource Pilot Well: Invest the right resources into the pilot to ensure its success. This includes high-quality training, coaching, and support, creating a model that other sites/locations will want to replicate.

3. Building Leadership Engagement

Direct Engagement: Work directly with GMs and their leadership teams minimizing the initial involvement of safety leads. This fosters a direct connection with the program and elevates the role of safety professionals as the leaders become more engaged.

Safety and HR as Filters: While focusing on direct engagement with leaders, use Safety and HR teams to provide oversight and ensure the program aligns with broader organizational goals and values.

4. Evaluation and Sustainment

Leadership Assessment Development: Involve leaders in developing an assessment tool that reflects their definition of effective safety leadership. This tool can be used to regularly assess progress and impact, reinforcing the program’s principles and sustaining engagement.

Publish Pilot Outcomes: Share the results and learnings from the pilot program widely within the organization. Success stories and metrics that demonstrate impact will be pivotal in generating interest and buy-in from other leaders.

5. Strength in Experience

Guidance through lessons learned: Cultivate program success by leveraging organizational pull principles, stakeholder engagement processes, and effectively managing potential setbacks.

Leadership Training: Judicious selectivity for the program’s trainers, facilitators and coaches with careful attention to developing strong capability and culture that effectively supports the new leadership behaviours.
