Managing performance – the Group Financial Outlook • Current indicator of expected quarterly financial and operating performance identifying risks to delivery. • Allows for proactive interventions rather than corrective measures after the fact. • Focus on forward performance, driving conversations between the BU and the Segment Executive Team about mitigating risks for the future. • Provides understanding of what is changing and what are the drivers of that change
MiDAS - Original Design Concept Leverage the existing knowledge base surrounding the E&P Segment performance management system. Develop a toolkit of robust readily available components to deliver an “off the shelf” application to bp Segments/Business Units. Management Information Database using Analysis Services
How did we design MiDAS? • Recognised that the use of Excel is an integral part of business process. • Anticipated that the effective use and deployment of the system was going to be end user driven – the interface needed to reflect a non technical user base. • Understood that audit trails and security were an important part of a performance management system – business continuity, Sarbanes Oxley…
How did we design MiDAS? • Considered performance management to exist in a fast changing landscape – analysis and reporting is a time dependant activity – half of your analysis today will be irrelevant in a year’s time if it lasts that long… • Wanted to build a platform that could be used to support many data management requirements • Understood that the life of the application was indeterminate
What is MiDAS? Build cubes Manage dimensions Housekeeping Aspex – bp built End user Tool Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Data load Reporting XLCubed Add-in & Web
What does MiDAS deliver? • Rapid development and implementation capability • Designed around the bp performance management framework • Has sufficient flexibility to allow the Segment/BU to be creative in how the toolkit is used – build new subsystems or complete standalone applications • Low cost to market and low ongoing maintenance costs
What does MiDAS deliver? • Easy to use and maintain • Makes maximum use of existing infrastructure • Is capable of being the data hub of the organization • Manages and maintains data of all types – numbers and text • Promotes internal organizational capability • Is scaleable and responsive
MiDAS deployment • Assembled a team of BP people in London –engaged Altius Consulting to augment the Core Team. • Designed processes to be used as a blueprint by each BU. • Completed framework agreements with each of the Outsource providers to ensure that the BUs are treated consistently.
MiDAS deployment • Developed standard hardware and software packages that are clearly understood by the IT providers to minimize rework when installation is being planned. • Designed, built and tested a rapid implementation methodology We want to leverage the scope and scale of E&P to deliver a world class system
MiDAS deployment • Conducted a design workshop (2 to 3 days) • Deconstructed existing process • Looked at the current issues the business was addressing • Created a view of the desired state • Matched MiDAS to the requirements • Execute workshop (3 to 5 days) • Hardware and software installed • People trained in Aspex, XLCubed, reporting and input techniques • Project plan
Deployment experiences • Additional functionality identified. • Enthusiasm builds as people start to understand the toolset and what is possible. • Understanding the business is critical to building confidence with the people installing the system.
Deployment experiences • Sharing ideas and harvesting synergies depends on the energy and commitment of the project teams • Delivering the project in discrete manageable chunks facilitates control and helps to manage expectations • Word of mouth is a powerful ally
