Krause Bell Group is in the business of preventing workplace injuries and fatalities through leadership and decision making. Leadership and decision making are complementary executive functions that have a critical role in safety culture and serious injury and fatality prevention.We believe that every effective safety leader needs the 7 Insights in order to achieve safety and organizational improvement. The 7 Insights are:1  Improving safety by engaging workers lifts business performance2  Improving safety starts with preventing serious injuries and fatalities3  Leadership sets safety improvement in motion4  Culture sustains performance, for better or worse5  Leaders need to understand core safety concepts6  Behavior plays a role, but a different one than expected7  Cognitive bias affects safety decisionsThese 7 Insights represent new ways for organizations to achieve accelerated safety improvement with direct benefit to organizational functioning in general. We are currently hosting innovation groups in the US and Europe with several partner organizations who share their data, experience, and expertise in order to improve leadership and decision-making in their organizations. Our clients will come out of this project with tools to help senior leaders observe, measure and improve safe decision-making. Through safety innovation efforts like these, we are discovering specific ways cognitive bias causes safe decision-making to break down along with strategies to prevent that from happening.
