Keynote by Shawn Galloway:
Since 2008, the Bridge to Safety Excellence model has been a proven model hundreds of organizations have leveraged to convey the precise elements to be addressed to close the gap between compliance and
culture, determine where they are on the path to sustainable excellence, and develop a strategy to achieve it.
Based on the 2023 best-selling book, Bridge to Excellence: Building Capacity for Sustainable Performance, this keynote explores the new thinking on how to create business excellence through safety excellence.
Keynote by Shawn Galloway:
This keynote explores how to develop the final step in true employee engagement.
In this engaging keynote, we will delve into the art of fostering exceptional engagement and a sense of
shared ownership among the remarkable individuals you lead.
Discover how supporting your frontline supervisors—those in direct contact with the workforce—is critical in
igniting enthusiasm and commitment throughout your organization.
Learn that great engagement is not an accident; it requires deliberate planning, sustained effort, and continuous nurturing, especially in large and established organizations where the initial momentum may have faded.
Keynote by Shawn Galloway:
Does your organization have the capacity to achieve sustainable excellence in safety performance and culture?
For excellence to become a reality in any important area of operations, especially safety, there are five vital capacities organizations must develop, monitor, and synergize to adapt and thrive in a fast-paced and ever-changing world: System, Leadership, Engagement, Cultural, and Strategic.
Based on extensive cross-industry research and decades of experience leading change in all major industries, this keynote leads the audience on a thought-provoking journey balancing case studies with practical execution guidance and matures the thinking necessary for driving change at all levels of the organization.
Keynote by Shawn Galloway:
Workplace injuries and incidents can have far-reaching consequences beyond an employee's immediate physical harm.
The collateral damage resulting from such incidents can significantly impact various aspects of an organization and the lives of those connected to injured individuals.
Leveraging the lessons learned from Deepwater Horizon, Rana Plaza, Boeing, Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Takata Corporation, Peanut Corporation of America, and more, this keynote emotionally and unforgettably explores how organizations can prevent and mitigate the consequences of safety incidents.
