Project started as an outgrowth of our work together on Illinois Healthcare Initiative.

Needed a way to explain to Business Community – Business Owners -- Answer Questions

• Why should I care about safety?
• What does Safety Excellence look like?
  • Why is it important to me?
  • How does it add value and provide me with competitive advantage.
• Real Business Cases (short case studies)
• Tool to use a variety of ways
  1. Presentation to Managers / Business Leaders, Chamber of Commerce, etc.
  2. Case study for internal use/workshop for larger companies
  3. Business School – interject into material
     • MBA students
     • Executive Education

• We hope to continue to add more cases to build our portfolio in different industries on different subjects.
