Moving Performance Levels

The Challenge

Northumbrian Water (NWL) wanted to measure and communicate the expected path of field operations performance during the period when a new scheduling solution was implemented. There was a need to harmonise measures across the operational business.

Evidence-based Forecast

Our Solution

We reviewed existing performance measures, identified important KPIs for the transition and used our experience to forecast the trajectory over go-live. This was supported by an enduring model for field operations performance management and recommendations for implementation.

Performance Framework

The Results

We delivered a gap analysis review of the existing approaches, together with a recommended performance framework for both Transition and BAU states. This was supported by a detailed set of considerations for implementation, setting the project team up for success.

Confident Go-Live

The Benefits

NWL was able to measure its performance against the Transition KPIs before, during and after go-live, having already shared our expert forecast with key stakeholders. Changes in operational performance were predicted and gave confidence to the impacted teams. 

“ This project has delivered comprehensive, actionable recommendations and laid the foundations for improving our enduring performance measures and operational scorecards. The outputs were well received and grounded in a deep understanding of our business and opportunities
