Is your organization set up for long term success and what are the key elements of a successful team? We will discuss a leadership model that can be used to enable excellent organizational performance regardless of the industry you are in. This interactive discussion explores how to have breakthrough performance, develop emotional security, establish an engaged work force (Union or Non-Union), and sustain that performance and constructive culture. Safety culture (Emotional Safety) will also be assessed using key elements from nuclear power safety culture methodologies which can be applied to any business. The organizational assessment conducted by subject matter experts will then provide helpful, constructive suggestions based on noted gaps or strengths when compared to the model.

This discussion provides a seasoned executive view of risk informed decision making and the use of Probabilistic Risk and how to apply it in various scenarios to improve safety and reduce cost. This approach is applicable to any industry. The interactive and encouraging discussion includes lessons learned in implementing key risk informed tools in the nuclear and non-nuclear generating business. We will also embrace how a team can improve reliability, prioritize work and prevent recurring equipment problems. The suggested process has been successfully used at various nuclear power stations and when paired up with risk informed decision making helps to properly prioritize resources while improving reliability and lowering cost.
