Rapid Operational Assesment (72hr)

High risk, high consequence operations can drift from best practice long before an incident exposes the cracks. Our Rapid Operational Assessment (ROA) gives senior leaders an unfiltered, data‑driven picture of their organization’s reliability posture – fast. In just three days, our former U.S. Nuclear Navy commanders and industry experts uncover hidden vulnerabilities and areas of excellence you can immediately replicate across the enterprise.

Speed with Substance

72 on‑site hours, decades of expertise, zero fluff.

Early‑Warning System

Identify latent conditions before costly downtime, litigation, or loss of life.

Executive Level Clarity

Prioritized findings mapped to ROI, risk reduction, and regulatory expectations.

Culture & System Lens

Leadership, safety culture, management systems, and feedback loops assessed as an interconnected whole.

Built for industries where failure isn’t an option

If your operation faces tight regulatory scrutiny, complex hand‑offs, or significant process safety risk, the ROA is designed for you.

What we examine

Pillar Sample Focus Questions
Leadership Do leaders model high-reliability mindsets? Is decision latency adding risk?
Culture How freely does bad news travel? Are near-misses investigated or ignored?
Management System Are procedures, MOC, and work controls aligned and followed?
Operational Feedback Are KPIs and learning loops calibrated to reality or wishful thinking?

Our three‑phase approach

1. Pre‑Assessment Alignment (Virtual – 1 week out)

  • Clarify scope and success criteria
  • Collect key documents and performance data

2. 72‑Hour Immersion (On‑Site)

  • Direct observation of crews, control rooms, and critical meetings
  • Structured leadership interviews across levels
  • Rapid document and system reviews
  • Real‑time sense‑making huddles by the HRG team

3. Executive Read‑Out & Roadmap (Day 4)

  • Heat‑map of strengths, gaps, and quick wins
  • Risk‑ranked action plan with owners and timelines
  • Optional follow‑on coaching and implementation support
