“We encounter organizations and projects unable to build or sustain effective and relevant safety strategies. At grit we co-design and activate people and systems centric safety culture programs, where people embrace and willingly demonstrate safety leadership at all levels

JOHN PTASZNIK // Co-founder

“Large and complex projects can experience levels of value destruction in the transition from build to ramp-up to steady state operation due to operations readiness challenges. We help protect your investment through our proactive operations readiness approach and methodology.”

“If a major project fails, more often than not the root-cause can be traced back to flaws in the early study stages. We understand what is required to move a major project through its development stages and can help ensure that its foundations are soundly set for successful execution.”

ANDY THWAITES // Partner

“Leaders struggle at times with lack of sufficient and accurate information to make informed decisions that impact business confidence and outcomes. Our solutions drive efficient and effective real-time decision making by focusing on removing obstacles versus just identifying them.”
