Season Finale: HRO at the North Pole
Show Notes

This is the season finale for this year. Many of you might be looking at some form of High Reliability implementation in the New Year and like many leaders are having a hard time identifying what’s your next (or first) step. In a slight tongue-in-check episode, we offer a collection of different HRO changes to consider, using Santa and his workshop to get you thinking outside of the toy box.

Practically speaking, HRO is hard.  There is so much to consider and the  challenge of knowing what effort makes the most sense first can seem as daunting as the mall the day before Christmas. Well, sit back, grab a hot cocoa and some cookies and listen to how Jolly Ole Santa Claus has built a High Reliability holiday juggernaut and give some thought to what to ask Santa for Christmas.

I hope you enjoy today's season finale and all of this years episodes. Thanks to all the listeners and followers for helping grow our podcast this year. Next year is already taking shape. We’ll be adding interviews on a routine basis. We’ll be talking with practitioners and business leaders who practice High Reliability Organizing and we’ll be continuing our focus on implementation by interviewing folks who operate in HRO industries.

HRO is a game changing differentiator for all types of businesses, but it is a challenge. Putting HRO into practice is a deeper effort than simply bringing third party training on board and then leaving the team to dig in. It takes investment, commitment and experience. If your wish list for next year includes HRO in some fashion, let’s connect. My expertise runs the gamut… I can help you chart a course forward, collaborate with the implementation team, mentor the leadership team, embed myself in an project to work side by side or I can come on board full time to lead an extensive program.
