Here's a peek at an internal e-mail brainstorm on concepts around "reducing risk"
We hold virtual e-mail brainstorms here at Duarte for clients all the time. We get tired of seeing companies use the same dorky clichés to communicate a problem. Here’s a list of out-of-the-box ideas you can use next time you need to make a presentation that communicates the need to “reduce risk of project failure, operations and maintenance”:
= = = = = = =
Taking the apple off your head
Pitting cherries
Putting outlet covers on electrical plugs
Wearing a suit of bubble wrap
Using hand sanitizer
Wearing a surgical mask
“lock out/tag out” on industrial machinery
Warning signs (like the one of the car going off a cliff)
Structural support
Insurance
Training Wheels
Pads
Seatbelt
Foam wrapped around everything
Bubblewrap
Fluffy Clouds – I don’t know why...don’t judge me!
Fangless Cobra
Tamed Lion
Sleeping Alligator with keeper holding bottle of sleeping pills
Monterey Bay Aquarium like tank with giant shark, and kids outside of glass
Oiling gears (steam engine) for less risk of failure and maintenance example
Bridge over troubled waters?
Ninja vs. Indiana Jones with a gun!
Big bowl of hot spicy chili with TUMS right there! Eating person smiling!!!
A kid putting a pillow in their pants before they are about to be spanked.
