Do you have any of the following challenges?

Are you looking for a fresh approach to help you prepare key managers to lead your business in the future? A way to ensure that they understand the internal structure and capabilities of your business and the external environment in which it operates. A way to learn how to motivate and develop teams to drive successful outcomes? A way to manage both the strategic and change management aspects of projects, while simultaneously understanding what the market needs and the value it demands? And then how to put all of that into practice?

If so, then this is where COMET’s elevate™ Management Academy can help.

Giving managers the learning support they need when they need it.

The progression from technical manager to business leader is not always a straightforward one. Excellent technical managers need to learn a whole set of new skills to transition into strategic leaders. They need to see things differently – and they need to get the support and development opportunities at this most critical time.

Solution: Brought together within COMET’s elevate™ Management Academy, our suite of leadership training solutions and tools is designed to get right to the heart of challenges and opportunities. From progression into managerial positions to building skills in critical roles, our talent management programmes give your leaders valuable support when it's needed most.

Ensuring that management training is specific to your business.

High potential management training needs to be relevant as well as timely. Generic insights and broad learning will not cut it. You want everything that is brought to the table to be applicable to your business, your markets and the real challenges that your future leaders are going to have to deal with.

Solution: We have a track record of delivering customised elevate™ programmes to a diverse range of organisations, equipping staff with the necessary tools to ensure their transition into their new role is seamless. Customised elevate™ programmes can better prepare these future leaders with essential learning, wrapped up in the context specific of your business, that can be applied both today and in the years ahead. Each customised elevate™ programme is created with your own organisation in mind – we use your brand guidelines, your data, your challenges, and it will reflect your strategy.

Bringing together managers from different functions and territories

We recognise that high potential mangers who are embarking on the transition to future leaders have a lot to learn from each other. There is value in collaborative learning. But it is not always easy to bring together a cross-section of key personnel from across the business. It needs to be managed and facilitated in the right way to ensure that maximum use is being made of the time invested by these key business managers.

Solution: We provide bespoke, modular packages to promote cross-function communications and relationships for improved business results. The elevate™ programme can be configured for physical or virtual delivery to accommodate delegates internationally without the need for travel. Our experienced facilitators deliver the course in a highly interactive style, whether in-person or virtually, to encourage collaboration amongst those participating. Depending on which delivery mode best suits your business, the entire programme can be completed between 4-10 weeks.

Helped us reduce first aid cases by 29%

"When we adopted COMET, we were looking for a root cause analysis tool that would help us identify underlying causes before they lead to incidents. Since adopting the tool, COMET has helped us reduce first aid cases by 29% in the last year, contributing to Corning’s best-ever safety record in 2022.On top of this, the support from the COMET team cannot be underestimated – they are always on-hand to resolve any issues in a timely and efficient manner. I would highly recommend COMET and the STC INSISO team to anyone looking for an audit and investigation tool."

Guillermo Castillo, Global EHS Leader – OCS Division at Corning Inc.

COMET helped us understand the systemic root causes

"The main value to LR of adopting COMET is the newfound organisational leadership education and enlightenment as to the reasons behind incident types, particularly those which hurt us most in terms of frequency. A recent example was repeat microsleep incidents affecting our surveyors. COMET helped us understand the systemic root causes and gave the Board sufficient confidence to invest over £2 million in a preventive action programme which is already bearing fruit in terms of this type of incident reduction."

James Pomeroy,
Group Director HSEQ at Lloyds Register

We’re maximising its value across the business

"Viridor is a relatively recent adopter of the COMET RootApp tool but is already beginning to really reap the rewards of a first class investigation system.
We’re maximising its value across the business through consistency of approach and ensuring we really do get to the root cause of our incidents so we can set the right actions to prevent recurrence.
‍
The COMET team has been hugely helpful and supportive in getting this new process implemented."

Richard Robinson,
Head of SHQS at Viridor

Probably the best root cause analysis process and toolkit

"Probably the best root cause analysis process and toolkit. But beyond enabling us to adequately identify root causes, COMET also allows us to track trends using the root cause codes to help address systemic opportunities in our management system."

Bertrand Piredda, Director of HSES Cummins Power Systems

Feels more like a partnership

"Borr Drilling adopted COMET across the business in 2017/2018 and since then our relationship and trust with the STC INSISO COMET team has grown immensely.

Any issues are quickly resolved or addressed and a feature of the relationship I enjoy most is that it feels more like a partnership than that of a more traditional vendor/client arrangement."

Thomas Sunde, QHSE Director at Borr Drilling

Positive and encouraging feedback

"STC INSISO recently delivered the 3-day COMET practitioner course to GSK R&D (UK) engineering and safety professionals.

The COMET team created a bespoke course that was well received by GSK R&D with lots of positive and encouraging feedback."

Ray Duffy, EHS Manager - Projects & Engineering at GSK
