Are You Reliable Enough?

Creating a Leader Reliability Culture

XIV International Maintenance Conference ACIEM


2013
If you define Reliability as
Constantly and Consistently
Meeting your commitments…
you might answer
NO
Every day you have a choice
Reactive or Proactive….. choose
and its hard work.

The more proactive we want to become,


the more we have to fight against our
own reactivity.
The most compelling reason to be
proactive is to
MINIMIZE the IMPACT of
UNPLANNED EVENTS
so
Today’s Situation
 Very little time spent creating a culture that
minimizes the impact of unplanned events
 As a result
 They waste 10% of there revenue annually
 They disappoint customers
 They have disengaged employees
 They constantly deal with new and repeated unplanned
events.
How Did We Get Here?
 Organizations aren’t UNRELIABLE but…., They
aren’t nearly as RELIABLE as they could be
 Why?
 Unplanned events are normal
 Only a small portion of the organization is
passionate about minimizing UPE
 Reactive behavior is rewarded
 Very little teaching
Available Options
 We could be satisfied with where we are

Or

 We could change the culture


So where do we start?
“Leadership is the art of
accomplishing
more than the science of
management
says is possible.”
Colin Powell
" Nothing repels talent like a high control, low trust workplace."

become leaders themselves.”
