Where we’ve come from – PPS laws

Presenter
Presentation Notes
When work began on the reform toward the very end of 2005, it was driven by goals that were referred to as the 4Cs. This was the desire to increase certainty, increase consistency, reduce complexity and reduce costs. And the best way to achieve these would be to implement a functional approach to PPS reform. So what exactly does this concept of functional approach actually mean?
Page 15: Insolvency & Trustee Service Australia’s PPS Australia ... · ITSA is a dynamic organisation that facilitates improved and ... When work began on the reform toward the very end

• Treat like transactions alike

• Single Commonwealth PPS Act

• Single national online PPS register

Functional approach to reform

Repeal Commonwealth, State & Territory PPS laws

Closure of Commonwealth, State and Territory PPS registers

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The rationale of the functional approach is to treat like transactions alike. It asks the question: “What is the function of this transaction?” And if the answer is, “to secure payment or performance of an obligation”, then the functional approach sees it as a transaction that is like another transaction that performs a similar role. To assist in achieving the goal of treating like transactions alike, there is now a single Commonwealth PPS Act which regulates all PPS transactions. Other laws that provided for the regulation of PPS transactions have been repealed leaving Australia with a single source of law on PPS. With this single PPS Act we also implemented a single, national PPS register. This register is the central noticeboard of security interests Australia-wide, allowing other PPS registers to be closed down. Furthermore, this register is an online register, accessible 24 hours a day.

How has Community adapted to the change?

• Change in terminology

• Change in business process

Presenter
Presentation Notes
ITSA has sought feedback from our users which has highlighted some key differences in the experience of casual users of the Register, compared to regular Industry Users. Change in terminology Casual users have advised they feel that the language utilised it is too complex to understand and needs to be simplified into more of a ‘layman’ style. ““The terminology is hard to understand.” “The language needs to be such that the ordinary reasonable man in the street wishing to protect their interest in an item - can successfully achieve the recognition of their interest.” “I can’t get my head around some of the terms.” ITSA response ITSA has developed a number of fact sheets. For example, it was identified that some users were having difficulty in understanding their motor vehicle search results. Therefore, ITSA developed the fact sheet on ‘How two interpret a Motor Vehicle Search Result and Search Certificate’, which is provided to customers undertaking a NSC search. ITSA is continuing its efforts to educate business and community with developing useful information for users as required and also ensuring a presence at relevant events to reach and educate its target audiences. In particular, ITSA continues to focus on reaching the SME market through various channels. For example, ITSA is currently developing video tutorials targeted to SMEs. Enhacing web interface ITSA has taken on board feedback and is incorporating this into future release Change of functionality for search by registration so that users cannot accidentally try to search by the car rego Improved terminology for search results Linking of search results to invoice Potential streamlining of motor vehicle search

Personal insolvency v population

• Average annual growth rate in personal insolvency over past 35 years = 7.6%

• Average annual growth rate in bankruptcies over past 35 years = 6.8%

• The average annual growth rate for both bankruptcies and total personal insolvency numbers exceed the average annual growth rate of the Australian population (1.3%) over this period (35 years)

• To put it into perspective, the ratio of debtors to the population has fallen from 1 debtor to 5,824 people to 1 debtor to 720 people in the general population over the last 35 years (i.e. an 709% increase in the ratio of debtors to the population over the 35 years up to and including 2011/12).

• Multiple systems with data bridges

• Multiple client interactions

• Business processes / case progress not readily transparent

• Service availability relies on staff assistance

• High cost to ITSA and the client

• Not aligned with Government direction

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Currently, we have a number of specialist teams with: limited workforce flexibility - site based partitioned information inconsistent approach duplication Multiple systems in operation presents challenges in relation to: effort needed to capture data and the integrity of the data reporting and data analysis Multiple client interactions means: an inconsistent service and a limited consolidated view It also means: Our clients can only access our services with staff assistance Our services aren’t efficient and We are not aligned with the Australian Government’s direction.

Presentation Notes
This slide captures the drivers for the changes we have undergone but also for those that we are embarking on – I am sure that many of you would share the same sorts of operating constraints but also the opportunities which they may pose for us. In relation to our increasing workload it is interesting that personal insolvency numbers in Australia have been increasing at an average rate of 7% p.a. over the last 10 or so years. I have already discussed the inherent risks when you rely on individuals and manual processes in terms of achieving consistent and efficient outcomes. In ITSA we have for too long relied on our long serving, very knowledgeable staff to keep us out of trouble but as staff have retired, and we have grown in size as an organisation, this has become increasingly difficult. Our systems have not been able to adequately capture and disseminate the knowledge of our key people. After the natural disasters that we have faced in Australia with floods, fires and earth quakes we have also increasingly realised that our arrangements to ensure business continuity are not ideal. As governments are held to account for the delivery of services it is no longer acceptable to have any significant interruptions to services due to natural disasters or utility interruptions. Whole of government requirements around physical and IT security as well as anti-fraud measures are also impacting on the way we shape and design our services. I guess the biggest driver for change, as well as the most potent enabler, is recent improvements in information technology. The public now demands to be able to interact with Government from the comfort of their home and at any time of the day or night. In Australia there is also a strong move for Government services to be integrated and/or linked. For instance we now have centres where all government services like welfare and health or car and license registration, rates payments etc are co-located.

What we’re doing to get there…• Mapping our services

• Workforce planning strategy

• Detailed standard operating

procedures

• Engaging our staff (what’s in it for

me?)

• Engaging our clients and

stakeholders

• Training our staff so they can train

others

Presentation Notes
To facilitate our transition to a fully automated workflow and on-line environment we have had to undertake a huge amount of work around mapping the nature of our current services and workforce to what they will look like in the future. In addition to that, we have had to finely detail our standard operating procedures to inform the design of the new system. This has been a very worthwhile exercise as it has forced us to review everything we do and question whether it is really necessary when looked at as against our legislative requirements, and the outcomes our clients are seeking. In this process we have discovered many things that we have been doing that are only being done because ‘that is the way we have always done it’! A critical aspect of our transformation is engaging with staff and clients at every step of the way. In this regard it is not sufficient to simply send out newsletters and emails, you need to physically get out there and sell the change as well as involve staff in the ultimate design – you can never really have too much communication at this time as staff tend to be very worried about what the change will mean for their individual jobs given that we have found that nearly everyone’s job will change - staff engaged in manual processing will have their roles turned upside down. An important lesson we have learned from other organisations that have introduced major new systems is that, not only do you need to ensure that you have face-to-face and hard copy training modules, you also need to engage your own staff as trainers and have them available on the floor during and after the roll-out. That is, the trainers need to be your own people or you won’t get the requisite buy in from staff.

Presentation Notes
ITSA is currently undertaking a transformation. �We are moving to a model of service delivery where the client is at the centre of what we do. We are moving from the 9 – 5 model of government service delivery to a model where clients have much more choice in how and when they use our services. We are putting in place systems and processes to help us deliver consistent outcomes - what some people might refer to as the ‘McDonalds model’ – regardless of where and how you access our services, you should be able to expect the same quality and the same outcomes. As an organisation, we want to be able to better match work demands with our staff availability and skills. Developing our expertise and enabling staff to be involved in more areas of our work. More interesting work, less manual processing. This focus on transformation requires a strategic focus on channel management, building our capability, investing in new systems and processes and investing in our people.
