At its core, it’s about people and behavioural changes that lead to a significant reduction in human error.

Human error is ubiquitous in life and causes a wide range of disruptions. In work processes, we observe, among other things, delays, corrections and rework, substitute services, disappointments leading to a loss of trust, deficiencies in communication and collaboration, lost orders, cancellations, and financial setbacks, often difficult to fully grasp in terms of their extent and impact.

While material damage can be defined, this is not so easy with health damage. Accidents and their consequences have an impact 24/7, both inside and outside the factory gates. Mistakes in the workplace with health consequences extend beyond the factory gates, and mistakes in private life with health consequences also affect the function a person performs within an employment relationship.

The ConverSafe SELFTY approach has a 24/7 focus and impacts work life, road traffic, and private life.

SELFTY is a systemic and neuro-scientifically grounded approach that complements the existing technology dimension with the human dimension. In this latter dimension, rapid advances in neuroscience continuously reveal new potential.

In practice, SELFTY competencies lead to significantly safer behaviours through a better understanding of one’s own perception, processing, and reaction mechanisms. Factors that limit situational attention (hectic pace, multitasking, frustration, fatigue, routine, and the use of substances – including alcohol, medication, and drugs) are recognized and mitigated through self-organization and personal responsibility.

SELFTY thus reduces the overall number of human errors, and especially those that lead to accidents and injuries.

SELFTY fosters awareness of the potential and shortcomings of one’s own subconscious processes and utilizes methods to specifically adapt unsuitable habits (autopilot).

SELFTY is a bottom-up approach to developing individual maturity levels. However, SELFTY only succeeds if a supportive top-down approach from company management, within the framework of a coalition of leaders, simultaneously captures and amplifies the individual impulses of employees.

SELFTY represents the further development of its corporate culture. Its significance lies at the strategic level and fosters competencies within the workforce that require patient and sustainable development. Once acquired, these competencies shape behaviour for a lifetime. The company thus provides resources that are difficult for competitors to replicate. Employees will inevitably have a positive impact on themselves, their families, and other close people through their behaviour: fewer mistakes and greater self-reliance and safety.

SELFTY integration occurs without a dedicated management system, without formalities, without reporting, and without PowerPoint-heavy training sessions. SELFTY is an emergent development of individuals through maturity-level-oriented leadership.

SELFTY emphasizes adult-oriented learning processes and makes extensive use of storytelling to effect lasting behavioural change through emotional engagement and autonomous decision-making.
