The impact JMJ helped create on a site with 5,000 project workers plus contractors is pretty remarkable. Working with JMJ has been one of the more powerful learnings in my 40-year career, especially seeing a transformation under such challenging circumstances.

JMJ brings structure, creates aligned commitment, coordinated action and shared understanding among the teams. Benefiting the performance of the project and the development of people.

I was so impressed with the results (from my first opportunity working with JMJ) that I have used JMJ on every project I have managed. Every time we have achieved extraordinary results.

These activities have brought about a trusting basis and openness/honesty among all those involved in the project beyond the normal barriers between owner, contractor and subcontractor. It was the high-performance team culture that enabled such a trusting basis which eventually led to significant project cost reductions.

It took time for us to understand that we needed to learn how to listen deeply to others’ concerns and ideas, and look for the underlying dynamics that drive behaviors on site to effect decisions and outcomes for lasting change.

We knew that if we achieved a high level of success in safety, we would similarly achieve a high level of success in execution, and we have.

One of the best strategies was to create a roadmap with ‘starting strong’, ‘staying strong’, and ‘finishing strong’ phases. It was absolutely key to our success. These accomplishments were achieved by everyone on the project working as one team with a continuous focus on building a high-performance safety leadership and culture.

We are proud of our high-performance safety culture and our extraordinary achievements. We will continue to build on our strong safety culture to enable current employees and future generations to be part of a valued, safe and healthy environment.

The aim was to create an aligned vision between the project teams so that everybody had a clear understanding of each individual’s role and responsibilities within the project. At the start, it was fairly obvious that we weren’t always working as one team or aligned on our goals as a leadership team.

The team had a common sense of purpose and clarity of vision around what we were trying to achieve on the project. This drove us to achieve outstanding results.

JMJ is very good at really getting beneath the surface and raising those difficult conversations in a non-threatening way. The transformation it produces is significant and changed the way the team worked on a day-to-day basis.

We have come from many to become one – through many alignment sessions, role clarifications, closing the communications loop discussions, private coaching, sponsors’ meetings, and working sessions – we have become a single formidable team. It’s probably the single greatest reason we can look at our project achievements and celebrate.

As a result of transforming our safety culture, we have seen a 5% and 6% increase in our performance.

I use JMJ solutions right at the beginning of projects because I know it will save us 10%.
