RISK MANAGEMENT
ible working toward achieving your organization’s mission. Let your work do the talking. As Henry J. Kaiser, the father of modern American shipbuilding, reportedly said: “When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.”
The road toward excellence continues with building an amaz- ing reputation, one driven by superior performance and trust. Pave this road with powerful partnerships empowered by collaboration as a gateway to sustainable success. Learn the language of finance because it is the universal language of business. Invest in yourself and learn to understand and converse in your organization’s finan- cial terms. In the end, there is a solution to everything; all you have to do is find it.
Conclusion
So, how do you enable vision 20/20 and prevent opportunity blind- ness? Remember to identify the filters present that are keeping opportunities at bay. Identify these filters by being mindful of the power of assumptions, by applying process thinking principles, and by understanding how human nature actually helps us in the deci- sion-making process. The two-headed coin exercise and the polar bear camouflaged in the snow are two powerful examples of how assumptions can lead us astray, one inconsequential and the other possibly life-threatening.
Recall the major difference between innovative and non-inno- vative people and how the inherent mindsets of both can drive vi- sion or blindness by design. The true story, “take a hill for what it is
worth,” demonstrates the unmistakable impact of vision despite all odds and how financial success can come from it.
Empower process thinking and use it to positively change out- comes for good. You may discover a new way to view and conduct your incident investigation process along the way. Leverage how we, as humans, make decisions, and use this phenomenon to open apertures so you can have a wider, deeper perspective of the busi- ness world. Drive the road toward excellence to help you start the process of thinking differently and unleash opportunities for your- self and your employer on your journey toward enhanced safety management system performance by design. Look at both sides of the coin and remember to take a hill for what it is worth; others will miss it. Adapt the four “Bs” of business as matter of course and ask yourself: “Am I seeing straight lines now or something else?”
Dare to think differently.
