Core Offerings

We shape our intervention to fit with what our clients want – with the caveat that it makes a difference! Bespoke programmes are developed based on the outcomes of the diagnostic phase. We can have different levels of involvement:

  • Whole change programmes, with involvement from pre-project design through to implementation of change
  • Supplementing an existing change programme
  • Provision of bespoke training
  • Delivery of ‘off-the-shelf’ training
  • Training our client’s nominated change team to bring about the change



We have developed bespoke programmes for:

  • Major cultural change/transformation projects across regional or global businesses
  • Cultural alignment and integration of new assets/business units, post-acquisition
  • Major construction and fabrication projects with multiple EPIC and sub-contractor teams
  • Across the project cycle from FEED through to Fabrication, Installation & Commissioning, Operations & Maintenance and finally, Decommissioning
  • Short term projects and turnarounds

Our core products are:

Consultancy - mainly aligned with the diagnostics phase, we design, implement and manage projects which deliver behavioural change and safety/operational excellence

Training/Changework – our programmes range from motivational events through to small group programmes designed to bring about fundamental change in individuals and organisations.

Coaching – using the GROW coaching framework, numerous psychology and coaching models and NLP as a change tool, we implement coaching programmes designed to achieve specific results.

Consultancy

Here at Optimus we listen to what our clients really want. The more we listen, the more we find out about issues that are unique to our clients’ organisation.

Optimus focus on the behavioural aspects of
health, safety and environmental issues
with the aim of
creating a culture of care
in organisations


We tailor our consultancy programmes to fit our clients’ needs, drawing on our past experience and finding the right way forward for them. However, we’ve also found that our clients like to know what kind of things we’ve done before – this gives an idea of our approach, gives clients reassurance that we understand their situation, and also gives a picture of what might be possible. What follows is what we’ve done, what’s possible, and is only a taster of what might be appropriate for your organisation….

At Optimus, we focus our consultancy and coaching effort on the underlying behaviours, attitudes, unspoken rules of the organisation and the people who work there.

Organisational causes of dysfunctional behaviour

We help organisations to bring about behavioural change at different levels:

Measurement
  • We carry out behavioural assessments, surveys and audits within the culture – we hold up a mirror to what is really going on
Awareness
  • We give managers the tools to explore their own behaviours and impact on culture
  • We help people see the connection between their mind and their actions using, for example, SafeMind/SafeBody awareness
  • We make everyone aware of their own abilities and talents and use this to motivate people
Vision
  • We help clients develop a meaningful vision that everyone can buy in to
  • We help clients define clear rules of conduct and enforce them continually and consistently with ‘leading-by-example’ and coaching
Change
  • We develop human factor skills in management, supervision and organisational development professional so they can support change
  • We develop and use coaches throughout the business to challenge and support personal and organisational change
Alignment
  • We help develop short-term work related goals that take people on the journey towards the vision
  • We operate effective, energised team events focused on organisational values
  • We help run campaigns to address poor behaviours and support the delivery of short term goals
  • We take supervisors and managers through positive changework to realign thinking and behaviours with the desired vision
  • We help improve recruitment of leaders, workforce, contractors (pre-mobilisation) using LAB profiling
  • We help implement meaningful appraisal systems based on positive reinforcement of skills and talents
  • We work with commercial and contract staff to ensure contractual arrangements deliver the positive behaviours of the vision
Growth
  • We develop leadership at all levels of the organisation using coaching and personal development, focusing on trust, honesty, integrity and personal accountability
  • We carry out deep learning, looking at organisational causes of ineffective behaviours (true root cause)
  • We help develop a clear organisational identity that embodies a common purpose and price in the organisation and an individual’s own role

CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Optimus offer a range of services within its consultancy scope.

These services provide a picture of a client’s current reality exactly as it is, as well as:
  • Areas of excellence within your operation
  • Opportunities for improvement (with potential severity of any issues highlighted)
  • Blind spots (issues and challenges that leadership are not aware of)
  • Baseline or benchmark measurements (these may relate to more general performance and not just safety)

Consultancy outputs will inevitably lead to the design and implementation of change programmes consisting of training and coaching elements. These are covered in Training/Changework and Coaching
