How do Organisational Coaching & New View Safety work together? 

In the ever-evolving landscape of organisational safety, a new approach is emerging that promises to revolutionise how we implement and sustain New View Safety methodologies. This innovative strategy, which I call 'Empowered Solutioning' combines the best elements of coaching and consulting to create a powerful synergy that drives meaningful change and lasting results.

 

Traditionally, organisations have relied on either consultants or coaches to help them navigate the complex world of safety improvement. Consultants bring expertise and external perspectives, while coaches focus on developing internal capabilities and fostering sustainable change. But what if we could harness the strengths of both approaches simultaneously?

 

'Empowered Solutioning' does just that. By integrating coaching and consulting, we create a dynamic process that:

 

1. Leverages expert knowledge

2. Encourages active participation

3. Fosters collaboration

4. Balances guidance with empowerment

5. Facilitates co-created solutions

6. Ensures sustainable change

​

Here are some specific ways that organisational coaches can help leaders implement new safety initiatives:

• Help leaders to understand the benefits of new safety initiatives. Coaching can help leaders see how new safety initiatives can help to improve the organisation's bottom line, reduce accidents and injuries, and create a more positive work environment.

• Help leaders to overcome resistance to change. Coaches can help leaders to identify the root causes of their resistance to change, and to develop strategies for overcoming it.

• Provide support and guidance as leaders implement new safety initiatives. This is a term I've called 'Empowered Solutioning' and Coaches can be a valuable resource for leaders as they navigate the challenges of implementing new safety initiatives.
