Background : Power Sector in Malaysia • Government Policy not to fully privatize electricity power industry. • TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) continues to generate & distribute power • Ongoing effort to restructure the electricity distribution to achieve competitive prices for end-consumers • Tenaga Nasional, the largest company in Malaysia had recorded financial losses for the year ended 1997/8. Its image with the general public was being tarnished due to • Supply reliability problems • Inefficiencies in customer management
Project History • On successful projects in Generation and Transmission, the TNBD-Renoir Business Performance Improvement Program (BPI) began in January 1999 as a contract between Tenaga Nasional Berhad (Distribution), Malaysia and The Renoir Group, an international implementation consulting company, based in the United Kingdom. • Renoir would be the catalyst for change, introducing the business improvement methodology the ‘Technology of Change’, “transferring” this knowledge to a core team of change leaders, within the TNBD structure.

The Issues Illustrated(Where The Money Was Lost) Non-Technical Loses Cash flow ? Lost in CIBS Records do not exist Theft/Faulty Meter Outstanding Opportunity Not followed up
Customer Services • Many customers details were not in customer information billing system (CIBS). • Many customers were in the billing system but no bills were sent. • The customer address information was sometimes incorrect. • Formal procedures for disconnection were not always observed and practices varied by zone. • There were differing practices in the zones concerning the selection of accounts to disconnect. • Disconnectors spent time waiting for disconnection and reconnection notices to be produced. • There was extensive daily planning, but little weekly or monthly planning to control work.
Customer Services • Meter readers had stopped completing Irregularity Reports (IRs) for faulty and tampered meters because they were not being used to take action. • Meter readers were seen as solely responsible for customer billing. There were many customer contact points that the MRs did not control where customer billing should have happened. No-one else was being held accountable. • In Tenaga Shops, tellers used to ask ‘how much do you want to pay’ providing the customer with the opportunity not to pay the full bill. • There was a substantial debtors problem across all customer types. The enforcement mechanisms laid down by the Electricity Act were not being followed and this was resulting in customers building up debts sometimes in excess of 1 year and millions of ringgits.
Network Services • The supply network and maintenance systems in place were not adequate to provide the levels of supply reliability demanded by the nation. • A lack of information, particularly at middle management level upon which to make business decisions. • A lack of accountability/ownership, particularly at supervisory level for problems that arose. A breakdown was always someone else’s fault and someone else’s problem. • Critical elements were missing from the maintenance management framework. There were no measures of mean-time between failure (MTBF) at a component level to facilitate effective preventative maintenance.
Network Services • There was a lack of accountability for restoration performance unnecessarily increasing customer outages. • Tenaga had a substantial number of projects in progress at the same time and needed to reduce these numbers to improve lead times for new supply and improve cash flow. • There was no established discipline of carrying out root cause analysis of re-occurring problems. • A lack of co-ordination across departments. • There was a general culture of lack of accountability and performance orientation.

The lack of awareness and understanding that a successful change process has to go through ‘four changes in mindset’is a common reason why many strategic change programmes fail… We also make false assumptions about peoples ability to adhere to new ways of working, and to manage and accept change. Change Assessment Management System (CAMS) Where Most Things Go Wrong!
Renoir Minds Path Matrix Incompetent Competent Conscious Understanding Usage Unconscious Culture Compliance Change Assessment Management System (CAMS) The Four States of Mind! …No shortcuts possible... The Four States of Mind! Incompetent Competent Conscious Support Coach Unconscious Delegate Direct
Change Assessment Management System (CAMS) The Key to Success! The secret to successful change management is to be able to assess and measure your progress through the ‘minds path’. “ If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” The four mindsets must be measured by auditing. Auditing is a quantitative measure of a qualitative thing!
Change Assessment Management System (CAMS) Measuring the Four Mindsets • Audit questionnaires are developed to assess the mindset levels using a structured approach: • Closed ended questions for compliance. • Open ended questions for understanding. • Demonstrative questions for usage. • The audit questionnaire answers get converted into a scoring scheme… • 0 for wrong or not done. • 1 for partially right or partly done. • 3 for correct or demonstrated. • The percentages of each system performance category are plotted • The target is 100%.
