Science and Soul of Productivity

Real Business Productivity

A new commercial standard in graduate school organisational development partnerships.

InteGlobal takes responsibility for delivering real business productivity gains as a primary evidence requirement in the development of business leadership capability.

Profitable  Investment not a Cost

The expense of transferring our proprietary knowledge and skills through real time commercial experience generates a "cost neutral promise," we are willing to make to each organisational partner.

Proprietary Development Design

A bespoke omni* connected business development design that collaborates with partner needs.

One of our proven omni* connections is how we develop synergy between internal structures whilst pursuing productivity gains. This ignites a bias for action to continuously lead, drive and deliver improvements year after year.

Omni*Connected benefits that are unprecedented in operational enterprise architecture

Omni* Centric Design model is a reproducible and foolproof value proposition when undertaken without compromise

1. Client Organisational Benefits

The organisation will provide an ample budget for the
 Omni*Centric Design [OCD]  partnership because that budgets cost will be neutralized  by exponentially higher quantified tangible fiscal and operational benefits.

Leadership will obtain superior real time experience in developing two general-fields of investigation; quantitative and qualitative. These sets of tools and techniques, are employed in balance with technical, political and cultural engagement.

Not only the participants, but their project teams, sponsors, suppliers and customers will be engaged and enlightened. [read testimonials]  

2. Critical Program Incentives  

Establishes a time critical campaign to deliver improvement targets in eight months, with two months tolerance contingency.

No accreditation for participating project managers until all critical milestones are fulfilled with acceptable project outcomes achieved. There is no compromise on these stipulations.

The organisation must adhere to the OCD architecture for optimum continuous improvement benefits.

"Once experienced, you will want to setup an annual graduate development partnership with us."

3. Development Partner Requirements

An internal champion and a portfolio manager will oversee, with our guidance, a 'project identification, prioritization and selection [PIPS] of unsolved opportunities that will be matched to the graduate candidates nominated. They will work with us to provide continuity and expectations internally.

InteGlobal will operate under an agreed fixed budget for training and coaching for the duration of the project investigations and delivery life cycle.

InteGlobal will only claim fees in line with program progress under the pre-approved design architecture.

4. Our Commitment to  Client Partners

Provide a robust, track-able program progression that will deliver an array of fiscal and operational benefits to the organisation within the scope of each program of work.

Develop next-generation leadership resources with their  knowledge, skills and engagement recorded in an evidence-based portfolio detailing real time productivity benefits. [read testimonials]

We aim to provide the best opportunity for each candidate to attain dual recognition with a I|GSBP graduate certificate accreditation with an accompanying BSB50820 Diploma of Project Management on the national qualifications framework.

I never thought I’d get to the end, and it’s been a long period of time with COVID19 interruptions and the like, which certainly presented a very difficult learning environment compared to face to face.
{L&D was conducted in tandem with face to face and online sessions}

I can safely say, and I safely say better than most, out of the four lots of training I have done since Christmas, that is,

• an external ICAM Incident Investigation Training,
• an internal external program called Activate,
• an internal safety training program called Illuminate,
• and this, {graduate partner development program}

On lessons learned through project delivery

While anecdotal evidence from SME’s is useful to provide the initial focus area, it is data that provides the ultimate direction of the project.

It is difficult but essential to ensure project team members and stakeholders don’t deviate from the process and jump to solution mode.

Trust the DMAIC process!

Data collection and integrity is a far more intensive process then expected.

Maintaining stakeholder engagement, is both difficult but essential.

Having conducted the project during a difficult period that involved a large amount of online meetings, the power and effect of face to face has never been more evident.

The one on one coaching sessions provided for significant growth and a much stronger understanding of the subject matter and how to apply it.

Although Lean Six Sigma can initially appear daunting, the real world applicability of the tools means that it will add value to the rest of my career.

The talk back sessions helped overcome reluctance to speak in front of peers in a group setting which is a powerful tool for speeding up the learning process.

By discovering a root cause I was able to refine the overall objective so that it is clear and measurable.
Provision of real analogies made it possible to quickly grasp the concepts.

I was skeptical that the DMAIC approach could be of value for this particular project as we assumed we already knew what the issue was. As the project gained momentum however, discoveries that we did not realise became apparent and the DMAIC methodology certainly assisted us in evaluating hidden detail and its solutions.

Seeing our theories supported statistically gives me confidence for future projects

National Linehaul Manager
In dealing with the linehaul industry team members

People actively engage when involved. It is critical to success to ensure the front line feel they have an input into the solutions.

Initial resistance from individuals seems to dissipate in a team environment. Peer pressure can be a useful tool with front line where the detractors quickly feel isolated if they continue with negativity.

You need to delegate and trust the team to deliver as time restrictions prevent perfection.

The extended Team was very keen on learning more about LSS and engaging the processes. By way of selection processes for future programs – Current LSS Black Belts should be asked to nominate some of the future candidates who were involved in their journey.

Team is engaged and eager to implement – sometimes before the full picture is presented. Old habits can be difficult to curb early in the process – encouragingly, post project, individuals have demonstrated more strategic and planned approaches to other changes within the business.

on lessons learned about physical investigations and Team diversity during commercial graduate project delivery

"Get on the floor! Physically positioning at each drop point [redacted location] to drown yourself in the process was needed and the project success heavily relied on this.
Having a deeper knowledge of the actual process (rather than just the defined or assumed process) meant that when we challenged each other as a team or came up with solutions, we were able to say whether it would work or not."

"Per #4, the diversity of the team meant the team came up with creative ideas, particularly during roadblocks or where the data warranted further investigation. One example of this was the articles that the Data Science team demonstrated had not received a delivered event, operations suggested reviewing Inventory Management receipts. Retail provided this information which captured a process issue of not scanning, rather than loss."

I’ve learned quite a number of lessons from this project, not the least of which is trust and follow the Lean Six Sigma Process. In hindsight if I’d done this from the outset it would have eliminated a lot of my issues and stagnation experienced earlier, nevertheless it was a good lesson and one I won’t be forgetting

The importance of ensuring a targeted scope of work to ensure clarity of direction and progress thereafter

 Data analysis tools are not one size fits all – its important to understand the method and system for
measurement before utilising analytics lest you waste time repeating measurements based on false ‘analytical outcomes’ and/or draw invalid conclusions.

The power of clear instructions and communication to team members

Setting realistic timelines for deliverables – not what you wish to happen, but what you know is safely possible.

The project created a great forum to identify and share the challenges experienced by the team. Through the

There were several outcomes in the project such as {redacted} changes and the installation of {redacted} that were great wins.

Lessons Learned

My key learning from the Lean Six Sigma methodology includes the importance of a clear and concise data
collection plan when going through the Measure phase.

In such a large company like {redacted}, there is also a high prevalence of legacy processes that rarely get challenged as to their currency and validity in the current environment. Identifying these via process flow charting and value stream
mapping is of utmost importance when identifying waste (TIMWOOD).

Engagement is also critical to achieving improvements – not just with your project team, but also, your key stakeholders from shop floor to
Leadership team.

Data is king… do not assume anything. Keep asking questions. And when you have the answer, ask more questions!

Mandatory to use a fact base to identify problems & to test/prove solutions. Too many times we ‘listen’ to others facts but do not have right data to support this. You must also observe the process to confirm the facts & speak to the people who are ‘doing’ the process.

Don’t try and solve world hunger. Work within the time/budget constraints of your project & let your project team guide you on the biggest issues.

Involve as many people as practical in every stage (e.g. design, testing and reviewing) to ensure best solutions are found & they are sustainable.  

Action items documented have a greater chance of being completed. Some items discussed in meetings were never completed as they weren’t documented.

Ask for help! And keep asking for help! Delegate.

Share learning's with others so that they can build upon your investigation findings. 

Ask for help with data analysis – this is a skill that needs much practice.

Do not assume others have the skills/knowledge you think they have. Coaching people with new skills/knowledge is a great motivator.

Ensure all data capture methods are tested prior to rolling out to broader group. Take more time than you think you need for testing this & ensure clear instructions & support is in place.

Check-in with other LSS cohort members for support & connect regularly with your LSS BB coach and trainer, as their advice is invaluable.
 
Celebrate small/big achievements along the way. Personally thank individuals.

Have regular meetings and stick to them. Weekly/fortnightly meetings are best.

Keep smiling and having fun: making local improvements is something everyone wants to be involved in if they are empowered & listened to & respected as experts.

When dealing with a new business (unfamiliar) take some time to understand the dynamics and limitations of the business before committing to a goal. Rushing into this step will place unnecessary pressure on the expectation and can derail the project. 

When commencing a project like this in a new area, set aside the time commitment to becoming ‘part of the furniture’ and ensure you invest in that as the continuation of the project and delivery are linked to it.

Perform a ‘gemba’ early | Performing this activity earlier in the project life-cycle would have been extremely beneficial to the project team.

Develop a realistic project schedule |  Without a realistic schedule the plan becomes meaningless and of no value.

Delegate more | Should have done this a lot earlier as there were a number of people willing to help – I just needed to engage and agree roles, etc.

On investigatory project management

Complexity in obtaining correct data was one reason that existing reporting was not fit for purpose. Allowance for obtaining data from multiple systems needs to be included

It is important to manage scope creep and the expectations of stakeholders. The team need to focus on what can be resolved within the project and create a backlog of issues to be addressed in the future. 

Whilst it is time consuming, the benefits of the information uncovered during the Analyse Phase outweighed the cost in time spent. This allowed the team to better understand and focus on causes of problems, rather than symptoms.

The project charter is a critical piece of scope and expectations management and I should have spent more time on this and the engagement.

Both project focus and team selection are critical. Ideally, team selection will involve key people involved in the process to be improved and clear expectations of time commitments and confirmation of commitment is needed.

Spend more time in the early phases and do some preliminary analysis where possible before getting into the Measurement phase. But be careful about closing your mind to true causes.

The key benefits were understanding and dimensioning the problem to be solved and using data to determine if solutions have been effective were very beneficial. I would like to see a bit more on building creativity into the problem solving process when simple, clear measurements aren't always present (breaking highly complex systems like our facilities into simpler measurable components).

I think the program is more then worthwhile, the tools and the way it generates thinking and thought process add value.

I was happy with the remote WebEx learning despite the default being face to face learning. Would there be scope to shift some of the modules to remote format in future to reduce cost?

Learning via video conference was not ideal for this subject. When we had the face to face training in Sydney, I took more in.

Teach backs were really valuable.

Doing this course in parallel with your normal job is difficult. Managing a project that may not be in your immediate area takes time and focus away from your normal role and sometimes things will suffer for that.

The more leaders who can train to investigate via the DMAIC frame work, the better the business will be for it. If i had to do it over, I would download all the gate packs to understand exactly what is next. Great course.
