Quantum EHS

Building sustainable organizations through the art of innovative leadership, social responsibility and EHS integration

We are in an era of a profound and notable transformation as individuals and organizations.

• There are new ethical imperatives as expressed in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability.
• Changes in corporate philosophies and structures challenge us to think differently. Lean manufacturing, and like initiatives require a new philosophy to be successfully implemented.
• There is pressure to do more with less.
• There is increasing pressure to innovate.

Quantum EHS is a powerful approach that leverages the EHS function and social responsibility efforts to strengthen organizational sustainability, improve strategic alignment, and reduce enterprise risk. On an individual level there is increased engagement, a sense of fulfillment, and productivity.

This approach elegantly integrates traditional organizational learning and strategy concepts with The Quantum Perspective. The result is actionable access to previously intractable challenges.

Quantum EHS is part of The Quantum Initiative which is a collaboration between Charles Redinger, Jo Anne Kellert, Michaela Curran, Chuck Isen, and Judy Smith-Asbury. Collectively, The Quantum Initiative team has decades of experience in generating breakthroughs in individual and organizational performance. Our work has been landmark in the EHS management field as well as in organizational development and transformation.

The Quantum Perspective

Central to Quantum EHS is the Quantum Perspective where world views shift from “we are separate” to “we are connected,” and where we see how to make differences make a difference.

A “New World View” is emerging that is challenging us to rethink and formulate new beliefs and assumptions about “What is Possible” and “Who We Are.”

Organizations that are embracing and integrating this “New Perspective” are the one’s that will sustain and thrive during this age of rapid change and transformation.

Quantum physics has allowed scientists to look at the world differently from Newtonian physics. Instead of seeing the world as observer and observed, this new understanding shows us that there is in fact no separation, and everything is in a complex dance of integration and interaction.
