Identifying Blind Spots
Major Industrial Incidents are often the result of Blind Spots which, by definition, are not visible to leadership beforehand. In most cases, these major incidents could have been avoided had leadership been able to “see” organizational shortcomings.
Hear Mike McCandless describe how our industry leading IP, 8IGHT DRIVERS®, is used to systematically assess current and ongoing Risk management. CEOs at leading Energy and Chemical companies have found this invaluable to making rapid, dramatic and sustainable improvement in Safety and Reliability throughout their organizations.

Pilko & Associates hosts Governance Forums on key industry topics. Greta Raymond describes our purpose here.
