Enabling Cultural Transformation
Our Operational Excellence Solution Set
We first recognized organizational cultural differences over 20 years ago. Initially, our efforts focused on the facilitation of these differences in global business transitions. Not just consultants, we lived cross cultural business development on all six continents where public and private organizations seek collaboration and Win-Win scenarios.
In 2010 it became obvious that the culture of field operations in the Deepwater oil and gas sector left much to be desired. A myriad of studies support this view.
What was lacking was an effective methodology to transform sector behavior into one of a Safety Culture, aka Culture of Safety. We first documented a new Safety Culture business model in our Governing Energy Blog.
We have a robust set of solutions on The Rapid Response Institute’s Operational Excellence Platform. These solutions can be deployed Enterprise Wide or individually incorporated into existing OE infrastructure. High Reliability Organizations require Operational Excellence.
It is built on our R B C Framework for Cultural Transformation and powered by Structural Dynamics.

Strong Bond Governance
In their ook, Implementing a Culture of Safety: A Roadmap to Performance-Based Compliance, the authors put forth a Strong vs. Weak Bond Governance Model. The book makes the case that when godlike incidents akin to the impact of warfare on society by corporation are possible, a strong bond governance model is appropriate. In other words, direct and sustained interest in field operations by top management and even the board of directors.
The Strong vs. Weak Governance Bond construct is taken from nature—chemical and atomic bonding. All molecules and atoms have a weak attraction. Strong bonds; however, only exist at the atomic level. The molecular and atomic Behaviors as a function of Conditions result in Relationships constrained by the nature of the bond.
