  4. Background of the ASA Initiative

  5. History of ASAs • ORS senior leader visited organization doing great job at performance measurement and management • We can do this! • Fits well with implementation to activity-based costing/management approach • Started with the Service Area Reviews (SARs) • SARs transitioned into ASAs in 2001 • Used New Business Model as framework to organize ORS products/services • 41 discrete services chosen for 2001 • Results presented at Performance Management Conference October 31, 2001 • Lessons learned provided input for 2002 implementation

  6. ASA Purpose • Implement culture in ORS that manages and improves through the use of performance data • Gauge extent to which ORS is delivering what customers want and need • Use data to make process improvements • Plan how to invest in people and tools to be innovative and competitive • Understand reasons for change in costs and funding needs • Make funding allocation decisions based on data-based business case

  7. Why Use the ASA Approach? • ASAs serve as the vehicle to implement performance measurement throughout ORS • Need to develop people’s skills • Need to fine-tune IT systems for data collection • Need to develop methods for ORS-wide data collection and analysis where appropriate • Longer-term goal • Performance measures will be deployed throughout ORS and be used as part of daily business operations • Measurement will form the basis for managing for present and the future

  8. What’s in it for me? • A showcase for what you do and how you add value • An opportunity to influence operational processes and decisions • A way to eliminate unnecessary steps in your business process • Help in finding better ways to serve your customers • A chance to learn more about about what others do in ORS • “Hard” data to support resource requests (e.g., funding, staff) • Help in workforce planning • Better outcomes, more satisfied customers, better business operations, more efficient processes …

  9. ASA Changes in 2002 • Organized the ASAs at the Service Group level • About 45 ASAs in FY02 • Established Common Measures • Everyone will complete these • Help teams to know where to start with performance measurement • Some information will be “rolled-up” for ORS ASA Template • Identified need for ASA training sessions • ASA Template Training • Process Mapping Training • Data Analysis and Graphing Training • Implemented ASA Web Page • http://www.nih.gov/od/ors/od/oqm/asa/asa.htm • Resources • Timeline • Training • One Final Deliverable - ASA Presentation

Internal Business Process Perspective To satisfy our customers, in which internal business processes must we excel? Learning & Growth Perspective To achieve our goals, how must our organization learn and innovate? Financial Perspective Are we operating efficiently within our budget constraints? Adapted from Kaplan & Norton, 1996.

  25. Step 1: List Service Group/Discrete Services • Service Groups and Discrete Services are the way ORS describes what we do in the New Business Model • Categorize ORS Services in the Service Hierarchy • 5 Program Areas • Building and Space Acquisition and Development • Municipal Services • Program Support • Property Management • Services Management and Support • 45 Service Groups • 170 or so Discrete Services • Listing of Service Groups available via ASA web page http://www.nih.gov/od/ors/od/oqm/asa/asa.htm • Click on ORS Service Groups in first paragraph

Step 2: Describe the Customer Value Proposition • Identifies what value your service provides to customers • Shows how you differentiate yourself from your “competitors” • Describes your unique mix of product and service attributes, customer relations, and image/reputation offered (Kaplan & Norton, 2000) • Should be written from the customer’s perspective, not yours For more information, see Kaplan & Norton (1996 pp. 73-85, 2000).

  28. ORS ExampleCustomer Value Propositions from 2001 ASAs • Provide innovative and highly specialized critical care services to the NIH biomedical research community, utilizing state-of-the-art veterinary techniques, conveniently located, to accommodate the unique needs of each investigator (VRP) • Support the biomedical and behavioral research needs of the NIH Community by acquiring and providing access to electronic and print information resources (Library) • Provide flexible, timely, and cost-effective scientific equipment to the NIH research community to enhance the research efforts (SEIB) • Provide planning, design, and construction guidelines to the Architects and Engineers to improve biomedical facilities (DCAB) • Provide cost-effective, timely, and appropriate technical and craft services for the operation and maintenance of NIH facilities, under normal and emergency conditions, to ensure a physical environment that is functional, clean, safe, healthy, comfortable, and reliable (PWB) • Provide child care services to NIH employees to enhance the quality of the NIH work environment and the recruitment, retention, and performance of employees (DSS)

  35. ASA Template - Page 2

  36. ASA Template - Page 2 • Four BSC Perspectives • Customer • Internal Business Process • Learning and Growth • Financial • For each Perspective you must specify: • Performance objectives • Common objectives already listed • Blank space to add unique objectives • Performance measures • Common measures already listed • Blank space to add unique objectives

  37. Step 5: Describe Customer Perspective Common Objectives and Measures The first common measure for the Customer Perspective asks you complete customer segmentation for the Discrete Services in your Service Group.

  38. ORS Example (VRP) Revenue for Acute and Clinical Care by IC (FY01)

  39. ORS Example (DBEPs)Number of Collaborations by NIH IC Number of Collaborations From DBEPs ASA in 2001.

  40. ORS Example (DSS)Customer Segmentation for NIH Dining Centers

  41. Step 5: Describe Customer Perspective (cont.) Common Objectives and Measures The second common measure for the Customer Perspective is ratings from the ORS Customer Scorecard. How these data will be collected will be something the Team will discuss with their Consultant. OQM will tally the data and provide your Team with summary graphs.

  42. ORS Example (Fictitious)Product/Service Ratings Shows mean ratings on Product/Service categories on ORS Customer Scorecard.

  43. ORS Example (Fictitious)Customer Service Ratings Shows mean ratings on Customer Service categories on ORS Customer Scorecard.

  44. Step 5: Describe Customer Perspective (cont.) Unique Objectives and Measures Space to add your own unique Customer objectives and measures if desired.
