Who am I?

People orientated, results and data driven leader.

I’d love you to reach out if you have an idea to reduce risk by leveraging technology or innovative engineering. I’m over at @edawneedham on Twitter or on LinkedIn

I’m a team builder, leader, coach, technical document writer, auditor, investigator and improvement strategist. I’ve also completed tertiary studies in Governance, Risk, HR & Management on top of OHS studies. I’m a listener & doer, not a teller, learner rather than a self-confessed expert. Personality Type: ESTJ.

My specialities include:
• Reducing complexity, duplication and compliance cost
• Identifying strategic ways to meet operational H&S challenge
• Improve safety performance through application & execution of proven business models.
• Articulating a vision and communicating that vision with an authentic (red dirt through to executive level) voice.
• Assisting organisation’s identify current state & desirable future state and plotting a trajectory to achieve this.
• Multiple organisations have benefited from an H&S improvement strategy I have used based on the integral model

I mentor & coach people and teams on how to create a sustainable change in safety & risk.

I influence management how to communicate messages in memorable, engaging, and personable actions. This assists them embody an action & value-orientated approach and move them toward their core objectives and key results.

It is from an integrated and non-reductionist approach (ie not bolt on) we find that true change & organisation learning is possible.
