Error describes something that is not correct, or a mistake, such as a wrong decision or action. Failure is the lack of success—and this is a measurable output where objectives were not met.

It’s common for organizations to punish people for making mistakes—instead of blaming the system that produced the outcome. With an HFACS foundation in place, your organization has learned to accept that human error cannot be eliminated and that it should be embraced as a system product rather than an obstacle.

You are now ready to implement and promote a culture of transparency, problem solving and improvement. Leading this shift begins at the organizational level with an operational assessment, followed by procedure modernization, and progressing into an understanding of the role of culture and how it influences decisions and actions.

Operational Assessment

By evaluating organizational processes and practices in complex organizations, an operational assessment helps management teams understand and correct human behavioral, leadership and cultural drivers that affect performance. A Vetergy Group on-site assessment expands outside of incident causation and explores deeper cultural and leadership markers. It is a preemptive holistic look into an organization’s operating system to assess programs and continuities.

A successful operational assessment identifies:

  • Opportunities to increase leadership effectiveness through high-functioning teams, clarity of purpose, communication and synchronization
  • Methods to decrease incidents along with a corresponding increase in safety performance
  • A means of cultural transformation with increased morale and loyalty, reduced turnover and top talent attraction

By studying and improving the human contribution to organizational performance, we help our clients run reliably at peak performance and achieve industry-leading results.
