My daughter and I had a discussion over the weekend about my getting in to shape, and she critically educated me with the attached image. I always knew the words, not just so clearly articulated.
While hitting the gym is certainly relevant - the irony of its relevance to the QHSE practices at Container Terminals brought about a wry smile.
An arena where gladiators of man and machinery spar day-in and day-out on critically high risk operations across thousands of Container Terminals and Cargo Facilities across the world. it does not cease to amaze me how they resist digitalisation and change. And all while manual processes and MS Excel rule supreme.
Quantum BSO worked with a leading container terminal to build a state of the art QHSE digital platform - the Qavach - and while many have come aboard and commenced this journey, others continue to wait and watch.
While the reasons for procrastination and adopting digitalisation are mundane, the benefits to people, reputation and financials is significant and undisputed. And so is being proactive to adopt digitalisation rather than wait for a critical incident or accident to be the driver.
Like my vitals, the leadership and C-suite at the terminals know that change is an imperative, just as their need for investment in safety. And till the leadership does not accept change, status quo will prevail, and risk in the terminals will remain an omni-present threat.
Yet, it need not be so, because each terminal leader is without doubt passionately committed to their people.
Come take a walk-about of the Qavach and see what an out-of-the-box safety platform can do for your terminal in 6 weeks.
