Most organisations are: Data rich Information poor Confused They have ‘information’ They make decisions Things go wrong… In the public sector Accounts are a mix of: Fact: costs incurred Belief: activities happened Estimations: we believe… Guesswork is never mentioned! It is extremely visual! Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Appraise Is the process of adding even more value to: consider the business deal with future demand delight customers! It is about reinvesting capacity created to: add further value improve the environment do even more change not simply cutting costs. So what’s different?

How is Transformation achieved? Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Evolution is expected! Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Starting from Check • Check is basically the joining of Study/ Act • It is used to find out: • What the host needs and wants • How the host is performing • What opportunities there are • What the customers want and need • What will be wanted in the future • What the capacity is for improvement • To draw the boundaries for the E2E project • Initially: to define what success may look like! Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Check will include: • Establishing the boundaries • The who, what, why, where, when (how) • Setting up a Transformation Team • External, internal, sponsor • Setting up training, facilities, awareness • Forming the Intervention Team • Starting data gathering and cleansing • Training team members • Workshops to understand ‘As Is’ Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Building on where the host is • Understand the current paradigm • Build on their ways of working • Develop charts, graphs, visual aids • Celebrate the good stuff • Improve data, clean it, combine it, map it • Show duplications and cul-de-sacs • Seek early ‘Quick-wins’ • Be ready for training and the first workshop • Check for (transferable) skills in other areas Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Not simply cloning good ideas! Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Principles of design • Design against value demand • Customer defines quality • Only do the value work • Minimise number of handoffs • Put information in the hands of front line staff • Decisions about the work should be made by people who do the work • Do the work perfectly (leave it clean) • Challenge “dirt” and “failure demand” • Pull ICT to further improve flow only once the work is clean Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Training and first workshop • All the Intervention Team will attend 4 day training courses (Some may assist the trainer) • Courses will include local data • Practicable example of CPAD included • Workshops uses PowerPoint approach to: • Reinforce training discoveries • Work on issues in smaller groups • Reflect on data found so far • Determine current ways of working, issues, performances, opportunities, barriers. • Flow-chart core work, understand variation! Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Host tools and practices • From fact finding and workshops develop: • Risk register, for the intervention and work • Project plan, including critical issues • PiD?… hopefully high level, to wean off • Benefits Analysis, update constantly • Issues log, recorded at every session • Effectively … anything that the host finds comforting to begin with, but: • Make them aware of value losses, the cost of governance and lost opportunities* • *The more restrictions and control, the less will be achieved. Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Plan • Starts with a workshop • Blue sky thinking • Unrestrained core designs • Building on analysis of previous findings • Understanding core and secondary designs • Pareto, C&E, GIS, spaghetti, mind-maps, run-charts, control charts, affinity diagrams…. • Core flow chart + major secondary works • Consider constraints, must do items. • Evaluate value, value adding & non-value • Report to board, coloured flow, and pie chart. Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Appraise • Is carried out at the end of Plan • Plan creates capacity for primary / secondary areas • Increases in capacity come from: • Creating less errors, high quality services are cheaper • Having less duplication or redundant work • Having better information enabling immediate work • Having less hand-offs and no work queues. • This is re-invested to: • Introduce additional services • Add value to existing services or materials • Enable greater outputs or improved partnering Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct

Why so much non-value? Constraints: Call Centre Current IT system Legislation Could we save 20% costs? Not due to activity reduction, but perhaps more is possible How soon could this start? Some things have started After communication What more could be done? Discussions with Board Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Voice of the Customer Voice of the Process • Defined by the customer • Find ways to understand • & delight customers • Design systems & processes • against purpose & demand Voice of the People • Learn to manage the • organisation as a system • Understand variation • Decisions based on data • Measure what matters • to customers • Model for improvement • Design the business properly • CPAD • Common understanding • Cooperation not competition • Experiment and learn • Visibility of the whole • Appreciation of impact • Belief in people; treat with dignity, trust & respect • Reinvest in the future • Use initial capacity to add value Quality Joiner Triangle Scientific Approach All One Team Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Do • Is very easy to carry out: • The Check, Plan Appraise processes addressed: • Core and secondary designs • Training, communications, inter-dependencies • Roles and responsibilities, interim needs • Testing, probing and improving • Creating temporary resources during transition • Union, HR, IT, Finance, Management approvals • So you have an eager workforce, hungry to start their new ways of working. • Starting is easier than waiting!

Garden waste problem Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
New Garden Waste service Prince 2 led project Finance and IT dominated 8 people a day failure demand Melt-down getting worse First day of intervention Three people used: SPC, C&E, Pareto, mapping issues by round, week ++ Found one round, one week Initial database set up flawed Hand corrected day sheets Showed where to correct Issues halved in two days Designed new day sheets Altered database Worked with operations: Back office Supervision & management Operatives Gave them info ‘they’ needed Issues halved again in a week Size of service doubled 5 months Amount of issues halved All learned that THIS works Created capacity + support Enabled pull for demand Quick win one Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Garden waste outcomes Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
Quick win two • Christmas blip • This was the planned starting point • Christmas was a special cause • 600 defects every Christmas (> 4 times normal) • Used all SPC tools and dealt with • Advertising and communications • Work schedules and resources • Timings of collections • Secondary training and process reinforcement • Outcomes • Less than 250 defects • Prime cause, free paper distributor, dumping papers! • Future plans established to further improve Visualising Transformation Support Services Direct
