Posted By Rakesh Maharaj Hi Jim, Although I am not at liberty to extend an invite to any of the businesses I have worked with, I thought that I might be able to share some provocative and innovative ideas with you. I work with companies in the capacity of a business improvement advisor. My clients comprise those organisations looking to take H&S to the next level or seek a major step change. I use a two-pronged approach to assist my clients acheive their goals and they are (1) Operational Effectiveness and (2) Strategic Differentiation. The main principles that I apply in each case are: Comprehensive integration of the SHE function with other primary business functions; empowering shop floor staff to initiate and drive change management programmes through line and senior management; and focussing on overcoming organisational, functional and strategic barriers to implementation of SSoW. I am currently working with a Power Generation company where I am applying these principles in accordance with a Business Management Systems diagnostics and intervention tool that would assist the company realising its business objective – which is to be in the top 2% of power generators worldwide in terms of safety and health, profitability and operational effectiveness. Please email me direct if you wish to chew the phat.. Kind regards Rakesh
