Transforming Risk Into Results

The Krause Bell Group Safety Loop

Feedback loop that shows the relationship between how Leader Decisions & Practices create Systems, Context and Culture which define Exposure to Risk which leads back to informing Leaders

Krause Bell Group’s Safety Loop integrates the seven insights and decades of research and data into a model that drives measurable improvement. Our consultants evaluate each organization on three key measures — leadership decisions and practices, culture and systems, and risk exposure — assessing how they work together within your organization today. This enables us to prioritize actions and customize interventions to address the areas of greatest risk, which improves safety performance, organizational functioning, and profitability.

We leverage available data and benchmarks to create a baseline to track progress and improvement. Where necessary, additional research, evaluations, or assessments are conducted to fill gaps and facilitate data-driven strategies and recommendations.

Our Executive Consultants then support clients as they implement critical safety initiatives, ensuring that the organization is able to sustain success without long-term dependence on consultants.
