Compliance, safety, and procedural behaviors varied across programs and sites, with no consistent way to reinforce the daily actions that keep defense operations audit-ready and safe.
Solution
A 60-day, 1st90 behavioral execution program targeting compliance behaviors, safety reporting, and procedural discipline across field teams and program managers.
Impact
Compliance behaviors rose measurably across teams, with before/after data proving the shift was real, not just a training completion metric.
“
In defense, a missed step isn't a missed goal. It's a risk. This program made the right behaviors automatic, every day, across every site.

Program engagement
In defense and aerospace, compliance and safety are not aspirational. They are the baseline. But across multiple programs and sites, the daily behaviors that keep operations audit-ready were inconsistent. Some teams reported safety observations religiously. Others waited for audits. Procedural discipline varied by site and by shift, and leadership had no reliable way to measure whether the right behaviors were actually happening day to day.
Lockheed Martin ran a 60-day behavioral execution program targeting compliance behaviors, safety reporting, and procedural discipline across field teams and program managers. Each day brought a specific, observable action tied to how teams followed procedures, reported safety observations, and maintained compliance documentation. Five minutes a day, embedded in the flow of operational work.
The before/after measurement was the point. They captured a baseline of how teams were actually behaving before the program started. Sixty days later, they measured again. The gap between knowing the procedure and doing it consistently showed up in the data, not in audit findings after the fact.
Compliance behaviors rose 35%. Safety reporting rose 22%. Procedural discipline improved 18%. 88% of participants stayed engaged across the full 60 days. That is not a training completion rate. That is behavior change you can prove with before and after numbers, in an industry where the margin for error is measured in risk.

We stopped relying on audits to tell us whether our teams were compliant. The daily data showed us who was doing the right behaviors and who needed reinforcement.
