SAFE OPERATIVE OUTCOMES
Although impressive strides have been made to improve worker safety in Heavy Industries such as Mining, Metals, Energy, Utilities, Paper & Pulp: the People that work in these industries still face some of the world’s most perilous working environments on a daily basis.
Comms International's approach to all endeavors starts by looking at the outcome that our clients are asking us to reach in a safe manner.
From the vantage point of the sought outcome: we reverse-engineering a path back to the very starting point of the Project, to ensure that our own Team can safely meet client expectations, but as importantly: Anything that is handed over to the client must deliver its intended value, Safely.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Innovation within many Heavy Industry verticals has the potential to address a wide range of issues such as decreasing access to resources, environmental impact, increased productivity in a safe and sustainable manner etc.
One of the main obstacles to implementing innovation in many Heavy Industries is organisational resistance to change or organisational hurdles for the implementation of new Processes and Procedures.
Many times the existing innovation models do not explicitly articulate the role of the actual People and how to engage/involve them in the process of leveraging innovation, which is why Technology, despite massive advances, has delivered but a small fraction of its promised value within most Heavy Industry verticals.
Being able to realise the full value from a given technology investment requires a massive focus on Change Management and the ongoing safeguarding of the processes put in place to deliver the Managed Change.
