Influencing Change & Strengthening Organisational Safety

This capstone workshop builds the strategic capability to influence decisions, shape organisational priorities, and turn operational insight into meaningful, lasting improvement.

You will learn how to communicate insights in a way that resonates with leaders, frame issues through a system lens, design changes that genuinely improve work, and test ideas collaboratively with workers.

You will also explore how to reduce resistance to change, build momentum around improvement, and ensure changes are sustainable over time. This workshop focuses on the organisational and leadership interface — where safety practitioners often struggle to achieve traction.

Why attend?
Because insight without influence changes nothing. This workshop gives you the skills to shape decisions, advocate for system improvements, and partner effectively with leaders to create the conditions for safer, smoother work.

Key learning objectives:

1. Influence leaders and stakeholders without formal authority
2. Communicate operational insights in ways that drive action
3. Design improvements that strengthen the system, not burden workers
4. Use small tests of change to create momentum and reduce risk
5. Embed improvements so they remain effective over time

What you will experience during the day:

• Influence and communication simulations
• Leader-engagement practice using real insight examples
• Change-design exercises to develop practical improvements
• Case studies demonstrating successful and failed change efforts
• Development of a personalised influence and improvement plan

You will walk away with: 

• A practical influence toolkit for engaging leaders
• A repeatable method for designing sustainable change
• Confidence communicating insights to decision-makers
• A clear improvement roadmap tailored to your workplace
• The ability to strengthen the conditions that support safe work
