Ministering ChangeA Lean Journey

Terry StocksDeputy Director – MOJ Estates

Ministering –‘attend to the needs of ‘‘a person who attends to the needs of others’ (Minister)

‘When you minister to someone, you take care of them. All of these meanings of minister — both as a noun and as a verb — contain a grain of the original Latin meaning, "servant." A minister in a church serves his or her flock, and a prime minister serves his or her country.’(Google quotes)

What’s in a Word?

Leader –

‘A leader is the one in charge, the person who convinces other people to follow. A great leader inspires confidence in other people and moves them to action.’

My Journey

I was Dancing Guy

My Burning Bridge

Took over as Head of an Estates Delivery Function That:

Had multiple silos – Delivery, Reporting, Procurement, Portfolio Management etc

Had no Standard Operating Practices

No Aligned Outcomes (No realisation of interdependencies)

An Audit Report Pretty Much Saying – Improve or Out Source

Added Complications:

Working in a traditional construction industry, technically brilliant but managerially slow!

National Performance KPI’s ??

Extract from 2012 UK Industry Performance Report (BIS, CE, Glenigan)

My Burning Bridge(Added Complications)

How are client satisfied with 60% time uncertainty. If time is linked to cost is the

client paying too much in the first place!

Always Have A Plan

Don’t Marginalise your own workforce

Don’t Marginalise your supply chains

This is the point I became ‘Dancing Guy’

cover.)• Always implement at the right pace!• Don't worry if things go wrong – But have the measures in place to know it is.• Always remember you are in this for the long haul – Its a never ending circle
