herding cats
               Cats never behave how
                     you hope…
               Humans are even worse!
Might as well work on
   the cat’s level.
Mixing Metaphors
out of the box solutions
                    Over 100 tribunals staff
                         attend ‘Peak
                     Performance’ theatre
                         workshops.
Involved large
numbers of managers
   to write ‘how to
engage’ guides across
         MoJ.
what wasn’t done…

 Use social media.

           Share the process.


  Staff Life Cycle.
PAWS #1
work around solutions
                   100% transparency of
                     all results, action
                   plans, and activities.

No media or union backlash.
Competition between areas.
    A buzz at every level.
Activity became visible to all.
 ONLY THE START OF THE
         DISCUSSION
PAWS #2
instant experts




                  150 Local
                  Facilitators
So, tell me again, how does this ‘Engagement’ work?

work around solutions
                    Truly flattened the
                   operational structure.


Not about cutting a few middle
  management positions, but
about engaging all positions in
     better sculpting the
        organisation.
what wasn’t done…

 Connect centrally.

             Transparent
             action plans.
PAWS #3
embedded outcomes
                     Embed a new
                 language, expectation,
                     and process.

  £1bil cost cutting hack
  and slash initiative was
  launched as a reaction
  to economic fears. We
  managed to get PEP on
          board.
Silos started breaking
down – offices in the
 same region started
  talking & working
       together.
Engagement outcomes
   were included in
   Senior Executive
performance reviews…
   and by extension
  bonus payments!!
what wasn’t done…

        Future Resourcing.

 Machinery of Gov.


         Measurement.
PAWS #4
What are the challenges 3 years on?
• Massive downsizing
  and more restructuring!
• Need to manage
  champion and leader
  turnover.
• Holistic vision still
  missing.
• Really need to embed
  ‘You Said, We Did’.
• No solid measures of
  connected planning.
What are the results 3 years on?
• Champions Day #6 just finished – on a zero
  budget!!




•Stream lined logistics.
•Telling the “You Said, We Did” story more.
•Increased Senior Leadership responsibility.
•Engagement is up!
So what have we learnt?
