vPSI Group, LLC, offers a unique management system that effectively handles the “unplanned events” that all organizations face. The system builds on basic management theory to both measure and guide the process of generating corrective actions.

Simply, the vPSI management system is about two things:

Measuring an organization’s performance when dealing with problems, and
Providing a platform for continuous improvement within the organization.

By the end of 2005, a vPSI Number had been calculated to measure the performance of over 50 different companies or distinct business units within larger enterprises.

Personnel from more than 40 companies have been trained in the fundamentals of vPSI and now apply their enhanced problem-solving skills in their workplaces.

The vPSI measurement system utilizes corporate safety programs as a vehicle, but it replaces conventional safety measurements with an evaluation of how well the organization responds to “unplanned events” such as accidents, incidents, near misses, or audit problems. This evaluation verifies the effectiveness of the organization’s response and provides an indicator of future performance.

The vPSI system is a professional development program in addition to being a route to improved safety performance. Using vPSI measurements to manage an organization produces sharply improved problem-solving skills. Everyone will perform more effectively if they understand a few simple vPSI concepts and methods and apply them their jobs. Skills learned through the safety program can be applied to all areas of the organization, which will improve overall efficiency and boost the bottom line by much more than just the reduced costs of accidents.
