Driving the Vision

by Randy Cadieux

Oftentimes organizations have the capability and capacity to become HRO's, but are unable to harness the talent of the individuals to attain that level of operation. By creating a vision which can be explained to top-level leadership and management staff, gaining the buy-in of all personnel, and explaining the long-term goals for an organization, support for HRO initiatives may be more effective. This vision must be championed by top-level leaders, but key mid-level leaders and managers should create the plans which can facilitate the implementation of actionable programs to drive an organization towards the attainment of high reliability operations.
