 Procter & Gamble:  Safety at Pringles

Picture This…

Safety should not be a robotic process, no matter how advanced the robot.  Bright Side worked with P&G’s Pringles Plant Leadership Team to develop this metaphor that describes the plant’s current state, desired future state, and the gap between, to engage all plant employees in re-aligning their safety behaviors.  >> read more

Change is often painful, unpleasant, disruptive, exhausting and/or scary.

We’re not talking process, here.  You know your processes.  You know what  to do. You’ve set objectives for your lines of business, your teams and the individuals in your organization.  Let’s talk about how to act.  Let’s talk about balance.

The Bright Side Approach explicitly and intentionally expands the traditional practice of strategy – It is not just about WHAT but also HOW.

>> How is observable. It is something that you can see, hear, experience.

>> How is self-regenerating. It becomes infused in your daily routine. It gives you a sustainable and replicable culture that results in a true         competitive advantage.

>> How is the behavioral strategy that accelerates what you need to achieve.

Other companies ask What.  Bright Side illuminates and shows you the How.

What makes Bright Side different is our ability to move quickly from theoretical to applied science. We apply behavioral strategies to hit specific business targets. Put simply, it is all about creating IMPACT.
