Collect feedback from decision-makers, employees and other affected groups to determine the available resources needed for innovation Gather evidence-based information about possible digital solutions relevant to the business, top hazards and the needs of the workforce
Observing is the earliest phase, when the organization is unsure about the value of innovating and is passively exploring how digital technologies can be used for safety. A lack of digital skillsets exist across the organization and an overall lack of trust may be present among leaders.
How to move to the next phase of digital readiness:
READINESS LEVEL 1: OBSERVING
• •
Identify digital champions who can assist with planning and other elements of change management Establish a roadmap adequately assessing the company’s mindset, skillsets and toolsets necessary for innovation
In the Experimenting phase, proof of concept activities may be taking place, usually in conjunction with a specific project related to digital application. Most people in the organization can be considered technology bystanders and the speed of innovation relies heavily on the individual project outcomes.
READINESS LEVEL 2: Experimenting
In the Adopting phase, investments are being made in developing and acquiring the skillsets and relevant technologies. A well-defined purpose for technology and safety is communicated, and most people in the organization accept and support the use of safety technologies for innovation and benefit. The organization applies change management principles to nurture and maintain the positive mindsets of the affected groups.
READINESS LEVEL 3: Adopting
Ensure digital safety activities are operating as intended and are integrated seamlessly in all affected organizational processes Continue to collect feedback from decision-makers, end-users and other affected groups to support learning and modify practices or processes, as needed
In the Integrating phase, an alignment of digital mindsets, skillsets and toolsets exist and most in the organization are actively involved in digital safety activities. There is clear appreciation of the benefits safety technology can provide, both to the organization and the individual. Change management principles are used to manage any new vulnerabilities or risks, and the organization actively seeks out technologies and talents to maximize the value for safety.
READINESS LEVEL 4: Integrating
Evaluating the integrity of data and digital outputs to ensure alignment with current and/or future organizational values regarding safety and business goals Considering the opportunity to incorporate digital solutions and innovation in all aspects of organizational capabilities and vision
Congratulations, you are in the Transforming phase, where mature organizations incorporate a digital vision set to establish future safety strategies and drive new safety innovation. The digital value for safety and business is constantly and intentionally leveraged to manage the company’s risk profile and to expand the scale and scope of worker engagement and protection.
READINESS LEVEL 5: Transforming
Restart Quiz
Once in the transforming phase, it's important to:
Employ continuous improvement principles to ensure alignment among the company’s digital mindsets, skillsets and toolsets Nurture the digital vision and integration across the company by committing the necessary resources for maintenance and growth in innovation
