Responsibilities & Accountabilities

No risk management & contractor mgt!!!

+ = Delay

Pragmatism asks its usual question.

"Grant an idea or belief to be true,"

it says, "what concrete difference

will its being true make in anyone's

actual life? How will the truth be

realized? What experiences will be

different from those which would

obtain if the belief were false? What,

in short, is the truth's cash-value in

experiential terms?”William James - Philosopher

From: Hands, Peter Sent: Tuesday, 29 January 2013 5:51 PM To: Coleman, Richard Subject: Richard as mentioned at the Coal QBR last Friday, I have become aware that the we are proposing to change the current 6 x 6 risk assessment matrix to an alpha numeric 6 x 6 matrix, see attached documents. Plus the new standard also proposes to change the definition / guidelines as to how to assess the risks in terms of likelihood and consequences. Not sure what is driving these changes could you please shed some light on where this has come from. numerical ranking of risk is practiced widely and I see the alpha numeric approach confusing. Also the proposed guide is less specific then the current tool, hence less user friendly. The document titled Risk Management Standard final is the proposed document, the HIRAC document contains the current assessment matrix. Your thoughts, regards Peter

A Challenge For Pragmatism

Create real practical tangible changes to work that result in less people getting hurt or sick

Culture?

Bigger text...

Is behaviour tangible?

Contractors

What about ‘zero harm’?

What else could you be other than human?

Why ‘real’ & ‘practical’

Sustainability?

Have you ever implemented something that made no difference and you were the cause?

Have you ever debated process content that makes no or little difference to end users?

Have you ever stuck to your guns because you’ve been ‘right’ but in hindsight it didn’t matter?

You need both effective controls & effective implementation to make a difference

Stop focussing on the minutiae of the control and think about implementation

• Remember that I’m a change agent• I implement with deep interest• Search for simple solutions• Know that I’m a leader not just a facilitator• Develop self-awareness• Own the outcomes not just the process• Work all statements so they fit the acronym• Never give up seeking opportunities to be pragmatic
