Good question.
We have been working on Cowboy Safety for a very long time. Implementation has been done in pieces in all types of businesses. The present goal is to end up with a simple approach that can be easily understood. No one needs another complex idea. "Buy low. Sell high." has been around for thousands of years and has worked in all cultures. Someone added to that "Collect early. Pay late." Cowboy Safety adds a few more. Maybe we can shorten it enough that it can be tweeted.
What we began to realize sometime back is that traditional business planning and business education is designed to make the first goal of a business be to make money for banks and government. There are many who attack the "high profits" of oil companies. Far more per gallon goes just for taxes even when the oil companies are losing money. The real owners of the oil companies are government and government is taking no risk.
Cowboy Safety starts before the application of "Buy low. Sell high." It says that the goal of a business is for the long-term benefit of the owners. I say long term because it becomes a business that has sustainable returns. Why invest elsewhere?
We all love the platitudes about customer service and need filling. Of course we have to do those. They should be done well and done better than anyone else. If the business, whether organized as a for-profit or non-profit, does not make a profit it will not last long, no matter how good it is. Cowboy Safety deals with the hazards to making a profit. Keeping workers comp costs down is only a small piece of that.
By starting the whole safety program while the business model and actual business operation is just a thought, it is possible to develop a sustainable and safe model that does not deplete the creative energy of the founders.
There are a few more discussions that will take place and a few more pieces to be implemented. We are actively doing those things. We will be publishing the protocols. If you can't wait go see the movie "The Cowboys" with John Wayne, "High Plains Drifter" with Clint Eastwood and "Moneyball." Most of those protocols are there. They just need technology updates.
If any reader wants to join the others and get more involved let me know. There is new terminology. What we will do is work on how to see results. Not a get rich scheme. Instead there are some pointed questions and pressure for you to make certain changes. We can do the work, You can do the work. Or you can hire the work elsewhere. No rocket science.
Those who are most in need are baby-boomers with insufficient retirement funds, new grads who cannot find a job, and business owners tired of paying interest. Those who believe that the market will go over 13,000 and keep going are not interested.

You know the economy is bad when Exxon Mobil has to lay off 25 congressmen.
