Getting Corporate Support forProperty Risk management • Stakeholders • Corporate Management • Site Management • Employees • Risk Management
Corporate Management • Opportunities • Understand decision making (Use the right Language for your Culture) • Reliability • Profitability • Share Value • Safety • Share industry news that supports your initiatives • Be Innovative
Corporate Management • Challenges • Convincing Management that Loss Control adds Value • Deal whenever possible with proven solutions • Pre-planning of new construction
Site Management • Opportunities • Understand Local decision making process • Plan and communicate inspection protocols • Make sure they understand expectations Before, During and After inspections • Have exit interviews so no one is surprised when report issued • Attend and facilitate inspections whenever possible • Prioritize issues • Be a Resource for the Site You ARE Corporate and You ARE there to help
Site Management • Challenges • Convince Management that Loss Control adds Value • Recognize they are busy people and have other competing priorities – safety, environment, internal audit
Employees • Opportunities • Education and Communication are key • They need to Understand the Hazards • They need to Understand their Role • They need to be supported and supportive • They need to know their efforts are appreciated
Employees • Challenges • Apathy can destroy the best laid corporate plans • Momentum is difficult to create and harder to maintain • Success takes both management and employee buy-in and commitment.
Risk Management • Opportunities • Know what your Objectives are • Be realistic with your Objectives • Learn from the past – Do your homework! • Know your Peer Group outside your company
Loss Control – A Risk Manager’s Perspective Establish Your Credibility • Learn your business and the language • Get to know the plants, equipment types and technology • Work closely with the plant managers throughout the year
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Pre Site Visits • Ensure lots of advance notice, schedule of attendee’s, duration of visit and agenda sent ahead of time • Try for consistency with loss control representatives from broker and insurers – results are fewer repetitive questions and pictures • Ensure the loss control representatives are trained in your business.
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Site Visits • Make sure arrival of personnel is coordinated, on time and any security issues have been taken care of before you arrive • Document ‘action’ items by all parties and ensure follow up with an email upon return to office – no gaps. • Ensure exit meetings are conducted with the appropriate personnel in the room
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Report Review and Distribution • Review reports and compare to exit meeting notes to ensure accuracy of recommendations along with designated course of action • Reports to plant manager, corporate management and your broker’s loss control engineer along with priority rankings and comments – include any additional material • Don’t lose the momentum of the visit – the longer you wait to distribute the reports, the less chance in succeeding with implementation of the recommendation
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Follow ups • Ensure periodic follow ups are made with plant management. Works as a good reminder • Focus on the recommendations that all involved believe in. Support plant management in the budget process • Let’s admit - Some recommendations are not feasible and are not cost effective (need to be able to demonstrate a return for the monies spent). Work together for a reasonable alternative
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Selling to Senior Management • Understand the concepts that drive decision making within your organization • Understand the budgeting and budgeting approval process • Must be able to convince Senior Management that loss control adds value to the organization • Incorporate the human safety element in the conversation – people are generally perceived as more important than property
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Selling to Senior Management (con’t) • Be innovative – implement scorecard systems • Be willing to present at plant manager meetings • Become involved on advisory committees • Share industry loss information with management • Find a Champion and work with them – help them in selling concepts (such as strategic spares)
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Construction • Loss control really starts here! Establish standards in the bid documents. Easier to implement FM standards at this stage • Risk improvements more cost effective at this stage than trying to retro-fit an operating facility • Project management goals will always be different than operational management. Know which battles you want to win going into the project. Communication and $$’s will be key.
A Risk Manager’s Perspective Roadblocks in our Business • Focus has been moved from reliability to profitability. • Examples include extending maintenance outages, pushing machinery and equipment to their limits • Any cost benefit analysis on loss control initiatives must demonstrate that the expenditure will have a positive impact on the bottom line
