Keynote Presentation
Right Brain Leadership for the Future of Construction Safety
The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: right-brained thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t. Theory has it that our brain has two hemispheres, commonly called the right brain and the left brain, which think in different ways. Our right brain is more intuitive; our left brain is analytical and sequential. Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind predicts that right-brained organizations will rule the world in the future. Rightbrain thinkers have a more powerful influence in their organizations, greater professional success and personal fulfillment. Join us for this presentation to learn how this thinking will also have a significant impact specific to leadership in construction safety.

General Session
Create a Breakthrough in Your Construction Safety Performance
On nearly every major construction site today, injuries and fatalities often occur in safe conditions. Someone was trained, had the right equipment, and yet did something that resulted in an injury. This isn’t the way it always has to be on a construction site and you can be the impetus for that safety breakthrough that your organization has been looking for.
Jay Greenspan, Founder and Chairman of JMJ Associates, LLP will speak directly to the challenges and solutions associated in creating a breakthrough in construction project safety. Mr. Greenspan will review the evolution of safety in the construction industry, the attributes of projects with incident and injury-free workplace cultures and the missing cultural pieces common to projects where accidents and injuries are occurring. In his presentation, Mr. Greenspan will alter the way you view your construction projects so that you will take away the actions that will enable you to predictably produce breakthrough safety performance.

Roundtables
“Share the Solutions”
This is a unique opportunity to share information with attendees about issues specific to construction safety. In this interactive session, you will participate in a roundtable discussion with your peers. An issue will be assigned to each roundtable and a content expert will facilitate the group’s solutions to this challenge. You can select the topic most relevant to your current project. A summary of each group’s solutions will be posted on the ASSE web site, www.asse.org after the symposium.
