Safety Performance Solutions (SPS) is an internationally recognized consulting firm specializing in the application of behavior- and people-based safety principles to industry, commonly known as Behavior Based Safety. Here, you can find out more about our history, our consultants, our clients and their results, as well as our strategic partners around the world. SPS is led by Scott Geller who has taught and conducted research as a faculty member of Virginia Tech's Department of Psychology. In this capacity, he has authored more than 300 research articles and over 40 books or chapters addressing the development and evaluation of behavior-change interventions to improve quality of life. He initially began applying the results of his research to industrial safety applications as an independent consultant. In 1987, as demand increased, Dr. Geller formed Make-A-Difference, Inc. (MAD). Through MAD, he and his colleagues assisted organizations in applying principles of behavior- and person-based psychology to industrial safety problems. In 1990, MAD teamed with Virginia Tech's Center for Organizational Performance Improvement (The Performance Center), an outreach arm of the university located in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. The Performance Center specializes in transferring university research to business and industry. Together, MAD and The Performance Center collaborated to offer Behavior Based Safety to both government and private organizations on a much larger scale. In May of 1995, MAD and a group of Performance Center employees merged to form Safety Performance Solutions (SPS), an organization wholly dedicated to helping organizations understand and manage the complexity of human dynamics in order to reduce workplace injuries. SPS offers comprehensive training and consulting services. Our strength is helping organizations develop a Total Safety Culture, where employees actively care for the safety of their peers.

In 6-Hour Safety Culture, Tim Autrey offers tangible insight into how to achieve and sustain next-level performance in any organization. Using stories and anecdotes drawn from his experiences within the US Naval submarine service, nuclear power generation industry, and as Founder/CEO of the Practicing Perfection Institute, Inc., he breaks down the underlying science of human performance into simple understandable 'chunks'. He offers a great deal of 'simplicity on the far side of complexity'. In Part I, you will be enticed to think different as Tim Autrey takes you on a journey of awareness into the world of human performance. Building upon a foundation of four simple precepts, and a four-part 'system' for leveraging positive aspects of human nature, he then takes you into Part II, where you will learn how to truly influence the hearts, minds, and souls of your organization members. Moving from insight, to strategy, to action, Tim will teach you the Individual Performance Model™, the same model used by leaders throughout history to influence human behavior and develop high levels of personal accountability. He then takes this model into the third dimension, providing a proven recipe for rapid and sustainable team, department, and organizational culture transformation. In Part III, you will learn to do different as Tim directly explores and develops the tenets of human error, safety culture, and just culture. He breaks through the hype, teaching you what's important (and what to avoid) in any performance improvement effort. He then develops a simple four-step 'recipe' for engaging organization members on an ongoing basis; a method that directly promotes alignment with organization principles and a one team approach to doing business. He ties everything together with the Human Performance Blueprint- a step-by-step implementation guideline for achieving and sustaining next-level performance within any organization. Tim wraps up the 6-Hour Safety Culture journey with a challenge- a challenge to you and everyone ...
