Welcome
to Balmert Consulting
We
look at things a little differently!™
Practice Overview
Our consulting practice can be summed up in one word: Execution.
Execution simply means “faithfully carrying out the plan.” When it comes to getting results, our careers as managers at some of the biggest names in the industrial world convinced us that execution is the difference that makes the difference.
Sure, policies and procedures pay an important role. So do programs. But they’re just print – until they are converted into action. In the world of operations, line management determines how well that conversion takes place. When it comes to execution, no level of supervision plays a more critical role than that of the front line supervisor.
Whether we’re teaching or consulting, we take a practical, common sense view of problems and solutions. Our training courses – from the Managing Safety Performance suite to professional development courses, like Influencing Skills – teach what to do and how to do it. Our approach to teaching is based on the Socratic Method, the oldest teaching technique on the planet, but still the best. Our consulting work is built on the Law of the Critical Few: find the real problem and come up with simple and effective solutions. That’s where the critical time and resources of management can be best employed.
We believe that’s what sets us apart from the rest of the consulting world. And why our work has helped make a real difference in the performance of our clients.
While the organization depends
on front line managers and supervisors for execution
of safety programs and processes, rarely are they taught
how to lead and manage the safety effort. Management
just hopes they'll figure how what to do on their own.
"Hope is not a method."
As experienced line managers,
we teach practical leadership techniques that every
supervisor and manager can learn and put to immediate
use. Our Managing Safety Performance
courses provide the "what to do" and "how
to do it" for effective safety leadership.
Today, thousands of managers
and supervisors around the world are getting great safety
results using the techniques we've taught.
Most of our workshops are taught at our client's work location however we offer some public sessions for people so you can come and see what we do.

HSE professionals, producing successful results takes more than just

on improving execution in the manufacturing and industrial
services sector. A key step in the performance management
and improvement process is conducting an HSE Assessment

is “an evaluation against mandatory government
requirements and recognized industry best practices.”
