Safety Catalyst Assessment Matrix (SCAM) [resource]
Explore the Safety Catalyst Assessment Matrix (SCAM) to assess the organizational capabilities for safety decision support and senior leadership engagement.
I’m excited to introduce the SCAM matrix I've crafted to evaluate if your organisation possesses the necessary enablers, catalysts and foundational capabilities to effectively engage senior leadership and secure sponsorship for safety decisions.
It offers a structured evaluation of ten key areas that may require improvement.
Using the provided criteria, you can rate the organization's maturity level as 'Low,' 'Medium,' or 'High.
Scoring Instructions
For each of the 10 criteria, evaluate your organization's performance and assign a score between 1 and 3 as follows:
1 - Basic or Low Maturity: If the organization has significant room for improvement in this area.
2 - Intermediate or Moderate Maturity: If the organization is making progress but still has some way to go.
3 - Advanced or High Maturity: If the organization excels in this particular criterion.
After scoring each criterion, sum up the individual scores to calculate the total score.
Meaning of Total Score
30 - 49: There are substantial gaps in various key areas, indicating a need for significant improvement in safety practices and decision-making processes.
50 - 69: While some aspects of safety and quality management are in place, there is room for improvement in several areas.
70 - 90: The organisation is well-prepared to engage decision-makers and make informed safety-related decisions.
