4. People + Process = Performance  “We get brilliant results from average people managing brilliant processes, while our competitors get average results, or worse, from brilliant people managing broken processes.”  [Toyota Chairman: Fujio Cho] 4 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

5. People + Process = Performance  100% of your organisation’s performance is a result of how well your people design, operate and continuously improve its processes ENABLERS RESULTS People People Results Key Policy & Customer Leadership Processes Performance Strategy Results Results Partnerships Society & Resources Results INNOVATION AND LEARNING 5 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

6. What is a Process?  Processes take INPUTS, do WORK to them, and produce OUTPUTS for CUSTOMERS Input Process Output They exist to achieve performance OUTCOMES and meet the requirements of STAKEHOLDERS 6 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

11. Two typical starting points…  We need to get our  We need to fix some processes “in order” problems  We need to be able to  We need to make a demonstrate a step-change in consistent, performance in a few professional approach key areas to managing the organisation  Process  Process Management Improvement 11 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

19. Example Process Owner Role  Process Owners have end-to-end responsibility for high-level processes.  Process owners will “champion” the improvement of the process.  Process Owners are members of the Process Control Board.  Process Owners are practically responsible for the high-level process to which they are assigned (see above).  For key, activity and task level processes Process Owners may appoint Process Managers (sub-process owners).  Process Owners are theoretically responsible for changes in any process including and below the high-level process which they own.  Process Owners can rely on the Process Manager’s judgement as they see fit if an appointed Process Manager identifies a change in a process as simple and low impact. 19 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

20. Process Capability & Maturity Continuous process improvement (incremental and innovation) Common causes of variation are identified and improved Optimising Processes are agile and “best in class” Targets, standards and measures are used Quantitatively Performance Special causes of variation are identified and Managed is predictable corrected Organisation-wide focus All processes are documented Value chains are identified Defined Measurements are defined Departmental Some organised processes & Team focus Managed Performance is repeatable No organised processes Initial Ad hoc and reliant on “heroics” Performance is not repeatable 20 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

25. Example Process Manager Role  Process Managers have end-to-end responsibility for the key, activity and task level processes which they are appointed to manage.  Process Managers must report back all changes to processes to the Process Owner.  Process Managers must highlight all changes that could affect other processes.  Process Managers must highlight all changes that cannot be resolved within the process.  Process Managers must highlight all changes that have a medium/high impact on the process. 25 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

28. Process: Recruit Staff Purpose: To ensure the right staff are available with the right skills, at the right time. Owner: HR Director Suppliers Inputs Process Outputs Customers Line Manager Request to fill 1. Specify needs New member Line Manager a vacancy 2. Authorise of staff recruitment 3. Place adverts 4. Assess applicants 5. Offer appointment 6. Confirm start Boundaries: Start-point: End-point: Includes: Excludes: Full & part-time staff Budgeting for recruitment All Grades except SMT HR Workforce Planning 28 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

30. Customers and Requirements  Customer: anyone who requires the output(s) of your process  Requirements: those things that are needed by the customer in order for them to be satisfied  Expectations: customers often have expectations, either about the output or the performance of the process - they may not be expressed explicitly, but are worth knowing as they can significantly affect perceptions of your performance 30 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

31. Tools and techniques to identify and agree customer requirements  Interviews  Questionnaires  Focus Groups  Customer Requirements Analysis  Service Level Agreements  Customer Charters 31 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

36. Define Systems Standards  Your process might be adequately documented simply by drawing an up-to-date process map  However, in many cases you will need more than a map  Systems Standards provide information on the level of performance that must be achieved  Standards may be quantified (in which case they are no different to Targets), or they may be qualitative, such as "compliance with National Standard ABC" 36 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

38. Process Measurement Internal Measures Output Measures Satisfaction Measures  Processing time (work  Error Rate or Accuracy  Perceptions of reliability, time in process steps) (Right First Time) assurance, tangibles,  Cycle-time (end-to-end,  Timeliness (delivery vs. empathy, responsiveness elapsed time) deadline/requirement)  Delay or Waiting time  Completeness  Any “objective” (e.g. between steps) measures gathered by Conformance to customer(s) or  Volume (input)  Standard stakeholder(s)  Cost (direct cost per  Success Rate/Attrition  Compliments transaction) Rate/Output Volume  Overhead cost  Complaints  Awards 38 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

39. Stratification examples… Who Customer Supplier Individual, Grade, LoS Group/Team/Dept. Gender/Age/Ethnicity When Year, Month, Week, Day Hour, Minute, Second Point in cycle Where Region, Area, Town Office, Hostel, Court In the process What Order, Sentence, Crime Risk Category Reason 39 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

40. Define Performance Targets  Targets should ideally be expressed in SMART format: Error Rate (%) 30  Specific 25 20  Measurable 15  Achievable 10 5  Relevant 0  Time-bound Target 40 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

41. Possible sources of Targets  Past performance (e.g. +x%)  Competitors’ known performance  Customer requirements  Externally imposed standards  Internal comparators (benchmarks)  External comparators (benchmarks) 41 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

51. Establish Statistical Process Control  SPC enables a judgement to be made about whether or not a process is in statistical control, and therefore determine when to make an adjustment in the process  It is used to improve performance by reducing process variation  There are two types of variation:  Common Cause  Special Cause 51 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

52. Common and Special Cause Variation Common Cause Special Cause  Stable, consistent  Pattern changes over pattern of variation time  Repeatable and  Unstable and predictable unpredictable  Numerous causes  “assignable”  Always present  “chance” 52 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

55. Metrics, Process and Organisational Benchmarking  Metrics Benchmarking compares your numbers with somebody else’s  It tells you “what” they achieve, but nothing about “how”  Process Benchmarking compares your processes with somebody else’s  It tells you “how” they achieve it, but not why  Organisational Benchmarking compares your organisational approach (people, structures, skills, culture etc.) with somebody else’s  It tells you “why” they achieve it, as well as “how” 55 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

56. 4 Types of Benchmarking  Internal  comparing within your Service, between sites and departments  Competitive  direct comparisons with competitors offering the same services as you  Functional  comparing with other organisations in a similar field but who are not in competition  Generic  comparing similar processes regardless of the nature of the industry/sector 56 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

57. Benchmarking Process • Agree the process/service scope of the Benchmarking Project Define • Define the “As Is” process and current performance • Identify potential comparator organisations • Determine data collection methods Measure • Plan data exchange and partner visits • Collect comparator data (desk research and/or visits) • Analyse the performance of the comparators using the data Analyse • Assess the performance of the comparators using qualitative information • Determine the performance gaps in your process/service • Identify and select possible practices to adapt or adopt Improve • Develop plans to test and implement the selected practices • Gain acceptance and implement the improvements • Assess the performance of the new process/service Control • Ensure the required performance can be sustained • Review the project and apply learning for the future 57 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.

58. Process Management Plan No action and nothing Planned, but no action Underway Complete Reviewed planned Process is continuously improving (“Optimising”) Benchmark externally Establish Statistical Process Control Establish DMAIC projects Process is “Quantitatively Managed” Review performance Implement corrective actions Measure performance Process is “Defined” Define performance targets Define process measurements Define systems standards Process is “Managed” Map the process Define customers and their requirements Identify the process and its Owner 58 © 2011 Copyright ISC Ltd.
