Introduction

Welcome to our 200th episode! To mark this milestone, we're joined once again by our very first guest—renowned global expert in lean leadership and enterprise excellence, Dr Peter Hines. In this episode, Peter shares powerful insights from his recent research into OC Tanner, a Shingo Prize-winning organisation led by humble and impactful leader Gary Peterson.

Peter explores what makes OC Tanner's culture so exceptional: from the evolution of Gary’s leadership to how the company embeds sustainable excellence through emotional intelligence, humble inquiry, and the development of self-directed individuals. He also reveals the systems and behaviours that underpin their 800% productivity improvement since winning the Shingo Prize in 1999. This is a deep, practical, and inspiring look at what it truly means to embed a culture of excellence.

You’ll walk away with ideas and insights you can apply immediately within your own organisation. Let’s get into it.

Introduction

Safety in the workplace is often measured by the absence of incidents. But what if we shifted our focus to the presence of safety instead? In this compelling episode of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast, I am joined by Anthony Gibbs, CEO of Sentis and author of Positive Safety, along with other industry leaders, to explore how organisations can transform safety from a compliance-driven obligation into a proactive, people-centred practice that enhances both well-being and performance.

This episode delves into how Positive Safety aligns with enterprise excellence, the crucial role of leadership behaviours, and the importance of fostering intrinsic motivation among employees. The discussion also highlights real-world applications, particularly within BHP’s Hay Point operations, where Positive Safety principles have been integrated into the company’s broader operational excellence system.

Introduction

 Welcome to episode 157 of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast. It is a pleasure to have Mr. Rob Telford on the show with us today. I came across the work Rob did culturally within BHP on one of my BHP Operating Systems Assessments of their Yandi site. I was amazed to find a site that lived many behaviours that were not even visually shown on walls or documented; they were just part of the language for the site. I saw work areas with the most amazing cleanliness and orderliness without markings or visual 5S-style structures. I met people passionate about safety, having each other's backs and looking out for their mates without being through extensive training and coaching programs. Rob led out the original vision and plan for safety and productivity at BHP, which became what is now known as the BHP Operating Systems. I am so excited about this conversation with Rob today as he played a large part, including others, in achieving what I saw and was amazed by.
