What are our strengths? 1. Navy and Marine Corps are can-do organizations. 2. Many of our leaders get it regarding safety. 3. Safety professionals are strong in technical proficiency.
What are our weaknesses? 1. We need to translate the DON safety goals into actionable leading indicators that will lead to achieving the goals. 2. We need to build an environment conducive to attracting, developing, and retaining outstanding safety professionals for DON. 3. We need to build the foundation for lasting safety cultural improvement; facilitate everyone taking ownership in safety; further align for safety success.
