Approach:
An Institute subject matter expert (SME) will invest three weeks to help your organization implement new processes and behaviors. We will apply our proprietary 3A Learning® process to create sustained behavior change by establishing clear alignment on expectations, delivering active classroom learning experiences, and providing hands-on coaching.
Week 1
In our first week on site we will perform an assessment of the organization’s current shutdown processes and procedures. The STO SME will guide development of processes and procedures that reflect best practices.
Following the assessment we will deliver the two-day Leadership for Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages workshop.
Week 2
The Life Cycle Institute will deliver the three-day Planning for Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages workshop. Individual coaching on STO planning will also occur this week.
Week 3
We will coach your team on applying the tools and techniques learned in the first two weeks. We will guide you on embedding these best practices into the organization’s culture so they will be in place for future shutdowns.
Deliverables:
- Assessment of shutdown procedures
- Two-day Shutdown Leadership training workshop
- Three-day Planning for Shutdowns, Turnarounds and Outages training workshop
- Reassessment of how practices have been applied based on goals established during training
