ORF/ORS History with Performance Management
5
Performance Management’s Roots in ORF/ORS
Started with ORS Leadership and the theme of how do we demonstrate to customers that we are providing good value They are getting what they pay for We are matching demand with needs Under Deputy Director’s guidance, applied simplified concept of ABC to our organizations Two day retreat occurred in which the first Services Hierarchy was established Provided framework to describe the services we deliver to NIH Help us cost from inputs to outcomes Then needed a way to track how we are doing Started with the Service Area Reviews (SARs) Subset of service providers presented review of their operations every three years
6
Performance Management’s Roots in ORF/ORS
Germ for more frequent measurement and improvement came from discussions between the NIH Associate Director for Research Services and the OQM Director, and a subsequent trip to London to the Defense Evaluation Research Agency Science and engineering organization in England that is similar to ORS They would meet with customers annually to evaluate how they did on their objectives, review their plans for the future Managers were rewarded based on their accomplishments Came back and decided to do what was known as the Annual Self Assessments (ASA) here Began as a pilot in April 2001 with just 1/4 of the discrete services Held the first conference in October 2001 Modified approach based on customer inputs and organization needs Went to organization-wide implementation in FY02 All 42 Service Groups involved in the effort All groups presented at the second conference in November 2002 Organization-wide implementation continued during the next year (Jan Jan 2004) All ORS and ORF Service Groups were involved in the effort Some new groups formed due to changes in the Services Hierarchy One-third of the Groups presented at the third conference in January 2004

Purpose of Performance Mangement
Implement a culture in ORF/ORS that manages and improves through the use of performance data Gauge extent to which we are delivering what customers want and need Use data to make process improvements Plan how to invest in people and tools to be innovative and competitive Understand reasons for change in costs and funding needs Making funding allocation decisions based on data-based business case
10
Performance Management - What’s in it for me?
Provides opportunities to better understand your mission/function/job Gives you tools to accurately assess your customers’ needs, satisfaction, and know how to improve service delivery to them Provides opportunities to influence operational processes and decisions Encourages addressing issues related to cross-functional service delivery that can cause grief for all involved Provides a vehicle to showcase what you do and the value you deliver to NIH customers Strives to integrate the budgeting process with future program needs based on data so you have the resources you need Increases your skills in strategic planning, performance measurement, data collection/analysis, and process improvement Provides an opportunity to best prepare your area for competitive sourcing initiatives that may impact you
11
Basics of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Approach
12
Who made this up? Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton
Research at Harvard University Research showed that organizations were… Placing too much emphasis on financial measures - (not in balance) Downsizing to address short-term financial problems - (reactive not proactive) Responding to Wall Street analysts, not customers
13
What is a Balanced Scorecard?
A structured way to look at our organization (a set of lenses) A simplified way to tell story Structure (rules of thumb) 4-5 perspectives 3-4 objectives per perspective 2-3 measures per objective 3-5 initiatives per objective
14
What is a Balanced Scorecard? (cont.)
At the highest level, it is a framework that helps organizations translate strategy into operational objectives that drive both behavior and performance.
15
The Balanced Scorecard Framework
How do we exceed Customer/stakeholder expectations? What do our customers/ stakeholders look for in financial results? What process do we need to improve to fulfill these expectations? What skills, tools, and culture are required to perform these processes?
16
The Balanced Scorecard for Your Organization
How do we exceed Customer/stakeholder expectations? Customer What do our customers/ stakeholders look for in financial results? Financial Strategy Internal What process do we need to improve to fulfill these expectations? Learning What skills, tools, and culture are required to perform these processes?
17
Today’s Organizations Are Expected to Be:
Why do we need to do this? Today’s Organizations Are Expected to Be: Competitive (sourcing) Accountable Customer-friendly Fiscally responsible External world is highly unstable so planning systems must deal with uncertainty 1. Strategy is a hypothesis. 2. Strategy is a dynamic process. 3. Strategy is everyone’s job. 4. Organizations are systems that must sense, experiment, learn, and adapt. 5. Strategy is an articulation of the direction we want to take an organization. Structure Is Strategy Adapted from “Planning Is Dead, Long Live Planning, “ Jos. Fuller, Across the Board, March 1998.
18
What Roles Do the PM “Teams” Play?
Team Leader - a manager or senior member of your staff who takes the responsibility for applying PM in the organization; Team Members - typically 4-8 staff members who understand the complexities of your current work environment. Team members provide functional expertise to assist the team leader in development and implementation of your PMP; Consultant - Either OQM staff or contractor assigned to each team to provide technical assistance and coaching on the process, tools and methodology; OQM Staff – In addition to provide consultation to teams, OQM assists teams at key points during development and implementation, and interface with Senior Management on the overall progress of the PM effort.
19
The ORF/ORS Performance Management Plan (PMP)
20
What is the PMP? The Performance Management Plan (PMP) is your business roadmap Lists the name of your Service Group and Discrete Services from the Services Hierarchy maintained by OBSF Describes your value to the NIH Defines how you implement your value (your strategy) Highlights your performance objectives Identifies how you measure achievement on objectives Lays out targets for delivering performance
21
The PMP Template
22
Note: Page 2 of the PMP. Statement of what should be achieved:
An Outcome How success will be measured and tracked: How we will know we are done The level of performance or rate of improvement needed over time Key actions or projects required to achieve outcomes and their corresponding owners Note: Page 2 of the PMP.
23
Value Proposition and Strategy Statements
24
Value Proposition The Value Proposition should be established with the Research Community in mind and should be derived using the following formula: Value = Product and/or service attributes + image + relationship The value proposition should establish why we do what we do, and what impact does it have on the community for whom we provide our services.
25
What is the value proposition for your Service Group?
What is the contribution that we make to the NIH Research Community and other interested parties? Customers Stakeholders It is a theory that must be tested
26
First, you must consider “Who are our customers?”
Are the recipients of our goods and services Are the direct beneficiaries May also be stakeholders Stakeholders: Influence budget, funding, and resource allocations Are alter egos of customers Fill a stewardship or regulatory role Note: Customer segmentation data should clarify your customers/stakeholders.
27
Stakeholders Customers The NIH Institutes ORS Advisory Committee
EXAMPLE Customers The NIH Institutes ORS program managers ORS service providers ORS administrators Stakeholders ORS Advisory Committee IWG and MBWG FARB DHHS OMB/GAO/Congress OSHA JCAHO/AAALAC
28
Why do we distinguish stakeholders from other customers?
Stakeholders have different issues Need different approach Stakeholders can increase or decrease funding (regardless of how customers feel) Stakeholders can formulate or influence policy Customers and stakeholders may each value something different
29
What do customers really want?
What value do we provide to customers? What would happen to customers if we were no longer around? How much are customers willing to pay for our products/services? What is our obligation to customers? What can we do to ensure their support? What can we do to better educate them?
30
What do stakeholders really want?
What do our stakeholders value? How does what they value differ from what our customers value? What is our obligation to stakeholders? What can we do to ensure their support? What can we do to better educate them?
31
The Value Proposition EXAMPLE Generic Model The value proposition should establish “why” Value = (Product / Service Attributes) Image Relationship Functionality Quality Price Time Example: Federal Agency Product/Service Attributes Image Relationship Accessible (Services) Consistent (Products) Dedicated (People) Professional (Staff) Personal Relationships (Customers) Service Oriented (Employees) VALUE PROPOSITION STATEMENT “We bring value to NIH by providing our customers with convenient, accessible, and consistent services to ensure that visiting scientists acquire the required visas in the least amount of time at the best price to the agency.” 19
32
What value do we offer our customers/stakeholders?
Why are you in business? Value = (Product / Service Attributes) Image Relationship Functionality Quality Price Time What is the VALUE PROPOSITION for your Service Group? ? Product/Service Attributes Image Relationship
33

Think of Strategy as a Way to Get to Your Destination
What is strategy? Think of Strategy as a Way to Get to Your Destination Strategy
35
The BSC Provides Structure and Context for Effective Strategic Management
Informed executives managing a strategic agenda Motivated workforce implementing strategy and documenting progress The Power To Rapidly Implement Strategy, Learn, and Improve
36
Strategic Management Is Based Upon a “Double Loop” Learning Approach
The Strategy Perspective Financial Strategic Feedback & Learning Perspective Customer Perspective Internal update the strategy test the hypotheses Learning Perspective Strategic Learning Loop Balanced Scorecard Strategic Objectives Financially Strong Delight the Consumer Win-Win Relationship Safe & Reliable Competitive Supplier Motivated & Prepared Strategic Measures Return of Capital Employed Mystery Shopper Rating Dealer/Pioneer Gross Profit Split Manufacturing Reliability Index Days Away from Work Rate Laid Down Cost vs. Best Competitive Ratable Supply Strategic Competency Availability Financial Cust corrections result Internal L&G Operational Control Loop Performance Initiatives & Programs input output
37
Ways to Characterize Strategy
Michael Porter (author of Competitive Strategy )says there are three general ways to characterize strategy in organizations: Operational Excellence Customer Intimacy Product Leadership Fee for Service Organizations should also think about where your business is in terms of: Growth Sustain Harvest
38
Operational Excellence Is Customer Service Excellence
Your Service Attributes Your Product Attributes Availability Responsiveness Convenience Competence Handling of Problems Cost Quality Timeliness Reliability
39
Customer Intimacy Is Customer Quality Relationships
Understand their business Know their needs Provide complete solutions Quality of the relationship Empower them Share with them Our team knows their team Follow up and feed back
40
Product Leadership is Customer Needs Filled With New Solutions
Open Mindedness (avoid Not Invented Here Syndrome) Service and products always state-of-art Creativity over formula Engineered for speed Knowledge management “First” initiative A budget for failure (Command of Capital) Culture for risk taking Entrepreneurial vs. bureaucracy Team player over experience Exist on limited planning and analysis Fast reaction times to conditions
41
Check which box best describes your strategy.
Indicate your Strategy on your PMP Check which box best describes your strategy.
42
Elaborate on Your Strategy
Think more deeply about your strategy choices Write your own strategy statement May help to develop a strategy map What may help with expanding your thinking on strategy? What demands are the customers or “chain of command” placing on the Service Group? Are your customer demands for services changing dramatically? Has the environment changed to require new products/services, or service levels, from your group? Are there expectation for reduced unit cost? What is the future direction of your Service Group?
43
Operational Excellence Strategy
“ We will pursue our strategy of operational excellence by providing more timely information to our customers through automation. We will educate our customers regarding regulations and requirements through rigorous training programs. Our focus will be on enabling our professional, experienced staff to provide more dedicated customer-service time.”

45
How to Develop Objectives for the Four BSC Perspectives
46
From Strategy to Objectives…..
Next, our focus will be on crafting the objectives. Objectives should enable the achievement of your value proposition and strategy.
47
Objectives are a means to achieve your value proposition and strategy.
Perspective Customer Internal Business Process Learning and Growth Financial Information Needed Customer/stakeholder segmentation, value proposition and strategy Process maps, process data, value proposition and strategy Future needs of the customer and the organization, enablers (people, tools, culture) to get there, value proposition and strategy Customer demands for services/service levels, willingness to pay for services, funding levels available for Service Group, value proposition and strategy
48
Crafting Objectives By Perspective
Customer Internal Processes Financial Learning & Growth
49

53
Performance Objectives for the Internal Business Process Perspective
54
What is Your Value Chain?
How do we get new demand? Where does it come from? What processes do we need to perform very well? (process maps) How do we complete the work? (deployment flowcharts) How do we deliver it to our customers? How can we improve our processes to meet attributes identified in the value proposition?
55
Review Process Maps EXAMPLE
56
Internal Business Processes
What is the value we offer to our customers? (How do we create value for our customers, stakeholders, employees) through our processes? What key processes do we need to focus on? What aspects of the processes are important (e.g., predictable performance, efficient, safe)
57
What improvements can be made in our internal processes?
What do we need to do better to make our customers happy? Can we be more efficient or more effective at what we do?
58
Internal Business Process Objectives
ORS and ORF EXAMPLE OBJECTIVES Maintain or improve turn around time for filling requests with accuracy Improve timeliness and accuracy of the scheduling process Increase benchmarking reviews to better understand competitors offerings and costs Hold Vendors Accountable (require regular inspections and reports; setting goals to meet improvements; decrease the gap between actual performance and goals set in contract) Improve quality and delivery of rate packages Accurately bill and pay for rent, leased space and membership services Adopt best practices and infuse new technology Improve vendor/contractor performance Improve access to information Increase consistency in the delivery of our products and services Adjust production capabilities to meet changing demands Increase timeliness of service Right the first time, every time.

60
Performance Objectives for the Learning & Growth Perspective
61
Learning & Growth The formula for this perspective is a function of:
People, Tools, and Climate Learning and Growth objectives are a function of future customer and organizational needs.
62
The Learning & Growth Perspective
What are the future needs of our Service Group in terms of: Organization Learning & Growth = ƒ People Tools Climate , , People, Learning & Growth Categories Skills & Competencies What do we need in terms of skills & competencies for our employees? What will we need in the future? Knowledge & Technology Assets What do we need in terms of knowledge base and technology tools to assist our employees? What will we need in the future? Climate for Action What do we need in terms of our environment to encourage our workforce to be productive? What will we need in the future?
63
What “enablers” will prepare us for the future?
EXAMPLE Organization Learning & Growth = ƒ People Tools Climate , , Typical Learning & Growth Objectives Skills & Competencies Knowledge & Technology Assets Climate for Action Engineering skills Training to required levels Program Management skills Technologies Databases Experience captured Best practices Leadership Alignment Results Oriented Teaming 25
64
What do our employees need to help us achieve our goals?
What skills need to be addressed? What will the knowledge and skill needs be over the next 5-7 years? Do we need to train/recruit/contract out?
65
Learning & Growth Objectives
ORS and ORF EXAMPLE OBJECTIVES Support continuous, shared staff learning and improvement Increase sense of trust and partnership with customers Encourage a “caring environment” Invest and deploy technology solutions so that we are responsive to the transportation needs of the NIH community Cross train staff to ensure no interruption of services in the absence of a staff member Improve Institutional knowledge of customer business Maintain or enhance competencies for the future Increase knowledge of customer needs Improve accountability of workforce Increase technical competency of staff Increase staff participation in professional training Ensure high level of integrity among staff members

67
Performance Objectives for the Financial Perspective
68
It is always about the value we offer to the organization.
Financial This perspective is typically composed of the following elements: Funding (Revenue) Cost (expenses) Demonstrated savings What will our financial requirements be in the future? It is always about the value we offer to the organization.
69
What do our financial stakeholders expect from us?
Can we do this now? How can we contribute? Can we increase revenue? What cost savings can we realize? What obligation do we have in our spending activities? How do we manage the gap between customer demand and funding levels?
70
Financial Objectives ORS and ORF EXAMPLE OBJECTIVES Minimize unit cost for custom research assistance at a defined level of service (# of custom research jobs per budget) Minimize the unit cost for providing parking services on campus (# of assisted parked cars per budget) Maintain invoice processing costs (associated with leased properties) (# of invoices processed per budget) Minimize the unit cost for animal diagnostic services (# of submissions per budget) Minimize the unit cost of providing building security services on campus (# of visitors/employees per budget) Minimize unit cost of conducting preliminary background checks (# background checks per budget)
71
Financial Objectives (cont.)
ORS and ORF EXAMPLE OBJECTIVES Achieve cost savings from reduced rework and reprocessing Lower ORS expenses through early intervention Invest in automation to lower our overhead costs Lower our lease costs Lower the square-footage requiring retro-fit Improve Customer's understanding of financial parameters of lease Avoid costly mistakes
72
Generating and Finalizing Objectives
New Teams….. Recommend about 2 sessions with the Performance Management (PM) Team and your consultant Identify pool of objectives Narrow objectives to critical few in each perspective Consultant can lead team through use of “identification and selection” procedure to gather Team’s input and consolidate the list of objectives Enter objectives onto the Service Group’s Performance Management Plan (PMP)
73
Enter Your Objectives on your Performance Management Plan (PMP)- available on the web page
74
Resist The Urge To Jump Ahead
At this point most people jump into measures…and when they get there, they start listing all of the “action items” There is one last step before moving to measures…
75
Define Objectives
76
Define Objectives (cont.) Common ORS Objectives
EXAMPLE Objective C1: Increase customer satisfaction F1: Minimize unit cost at a defined service level. Description C1: A relationship with the people we serve that increasingly promotes good will, repeat business, commendations, and minimal complaints. F1: Understanding the total dollar cost to provide measurable service and products at agreed upon terms in order to reduce these costs to levels that meet or exceed customer expectations of market prices.

Linking Performance Objectives with the Strategy Map
80
Strategy Mapping…What is it????
A pictorial representation of your whole strategy (how all of your objectives fit together) A way to decide which objectives are the most critical ones A tool that helps you validate your objectives A tool that can help you validate your measures A tool that can help you manage your strategy
81
Strategy= Buy a Car by this time next year The ultimate objective
Strategy Mapping…the way it works (We do it all the time in our daily lives) Strategy= Buy a Car by this time next year Happy Owner The ultimate objective
82
Strategy= Buy a Car by this time next year
