this failure is not due to any underlying flaws in the business models or technologies adopted. Instead, it results from a failure to address the underlying emotional and political aspects of change. After a period of initial success, this leads to both front line staff and management becoming increasingly demoralised, as performance is not sustained. Corven takes a more holistic approach to improving workforce productivity, engaging the people who do the work in designing the change so that they have a strong sense of ownership for successful implementation. Change is sustained by equipping senior and front line managers with the skills and
tools to tell compelling stories, manage difficult conversations and drive performance. For one client we turned round a failing workforce planning technology implementation to deliver significant, lasting behavioural change. With no increase in staffing, performance improved by between 30-95% on all key indicators; overdue work fell by 69%, direct labour utilisation increased by 31% and outstanding mandatory work fell by 87%.

Engineers need to recognise the importance of accurate and timely asset data, asset managers need to ensure schemes are developed based on robust unit costs and procurement managers need to seek enhanced value from new suppliers. We have used the Corven Operational Excellence Network to provide insights on how to apply unit cost methodologies, business planning and forecasting techniques used in the manufacturing and oil & gas sectors. Applying these techniques has helped drive efficiencies worth tens of millions of pounds and support regulatory submissions.
