Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
1.1 Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
1.1.1 Introduction
This method statement is IBM’s response to the context and requirements provided within section 5.4 of the ISiS ITN. The statement contained here is based on IBM’s Variant bid response. A separate version of the method statement is provided to support our Standard Bid.
Please note that the Standard Bid method statement for Managing and Delivering Change explains the Systems Thinking method which IBM will use within service transition and operation. This method includes a number of components that will facilitate large-scale changes to ways of working within the ISiS Programme. What we shall be describing is here are methods and programmes of work that are provided in addition to Systems Thinking, which remains at the core of both our Standard and Variant bids.
All of the programmes of work that we are highlighting contribute to the councils’ transformational change agenda. Nevertheless, there is a close alignment between your requirements as listed in the ITN and the following elements of IBM’s variant proposal:
1. Transformation Programme Structure and Processes / Turning your Vision into Reality proposal
2. Social and Economic Development Programme
3. People Excellence Programme
4. Technology Enablement Programme
Consequently, our response to this ‘method statement’ provides an explanation of how our overall approach to Governance, Change management and Programme Management (item 1. above) will fulfil your requirements, in combination with the three specific programmes of work listed in 2-4.
1.1.2 Capability Overview
IBM Global Business Services is the consulting and systems integration division of IBM and employs around 4,300 consultants within the UK. As part of a large, global corporation, we have a wealth of additional experience to draw upon, including our industry-leading innovation and research services that are available within the UK and internationally.
There is no single method for successful delivery of transformational change of the size and scale that is defined within ISiS and the councils’ broader transformation visions. Long-term success comes from creating the right blend of strategy and delivery methods and tools in partnership with you, underpinned by class-leading and highly flexible Programme Management, Change Management and Process Improvement methods.
Within each of the change programmes we are proposing, we will deploy and tailor specific IBM tools and methods – the main ones being as follows:
Customer Access / Citizen Wellbeing – Contact Centre Optimisation
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 1
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation – Systems Thinking, Ascendant SAP, Shared Services method
Technology Enablement – Services Oriented Architecture, Component Business Modelling
People Programme – Magic Carpet method for Culture Change
Business Change Management – Change Management Framework
Transformation Governance and overall programme management – IBM’s World-Wide Programme and Project Management method (WWPMM), and our overall suite of strategy and delivery methods (GS Method).
Within each of the Programmes we are proposing within the Variant Bid (within Volume 2), we describe how these methods – and others - are used in the development and delivery of the projects we have identified.
The specific methods and tools we are proposing for Programme Management and Change Management are described in detail within the Turning Your Vision for Somerset into Reality document. The high-level model we use to explain this appears below:

1.1.3 Transforming services to meet your requirements
1.1.3.1 Summary of overall context
Within section 5.4.2 of the ITN, the shared objectives and partnership expectations are listed as being:
To ‘take the lead within the two organisations for innovation, creativity and enterprise’ and to include in this wider change agenda opportunity ‘to generate economic development and investment in Taunton Deane and in Somerset as a whole’.
1.1.3.2 The main components of IBM’s overall answer
Our proposition for the development of an Innovation Services capability in partnership with you, ultimately delivered via an iconic Innovation Centre will ensure that Innovation has a visible ‘drum beat’ across Somerset County Council and Taunton Deane Borough Council, supporting new ideas / new thinking; providing a place for ideas to grow into business cases as well as providing advanced problem - solving techniques in helping overcome any unexpected complex operational challenges.
Innovation, creativity and enterprise are reflected within the proposed ISiS values as part of the Culture and Partnership section of our People Excellence Programme.
Our Somerset on the World stage proposal contains a number of specific projects and insights that will significantly help develop the social and economic fabric of the region, including:
Creation of an enabling infrastructure for business, education and communities across Somerset
Investments in schools and colleges to drive education
Kick-starting economic growth through creation of a business ‘Enterprise Hub’
Proposals to make existing organisations more competitive, including assisting in the formation of an Inward Investment Agency.
IBM’s proposal for ISiS Transformation is underpinned by ‘world-class’ technology infrastructure, including:
Enterprise Architecture based on the Service Oriented Architecture model (SOA)
Enterprise Content Management systems
World-class industry-standard integration platform
Citizen Index to support multi-agency working
Flexible and scaleable Portal framework to enable direct access to multiple services based around key stakeholder communities
Substantial improvements in broad-bandwidth internet technologies to support businesses and increased mobile working
Introduction of comprehensive security and identity management systems

1.1.3.3 Addressing your specific requirements for transformation
Within this section, we provide a summary of how IBM’s Variant bid will help meet the transformational challenges highlighted in ITN section 5.4.1. These answers will be given in the context of the four elements included in [introduction] above.
IBM’s response
A World-Class partner
IBM is the largest private professional services organisation in the world. Our expertise ranges across key business issues and deep into 17 industries in virtually every country and every culture worldwide. Our business experience is real and unique. And so are the results we bring to our clients. We've helped them unlock value in areas such as HR, sales, marketing, finance, accounting, business strategy, supply chain, logistics and procurement. We've shown them new ways to transform their business, their thinking — and deliver lasting benefits.
We are truly a ‘world-class’ organisation and have a proven pedigree, especially within the UK, in particular in helping address the challenges that are at the top of the SCC / TDBC transformational agenda. These include:
(a) Promoting the benefits realised from the partnership of the commercial expertise of a ‘world-class’ private company together with the corporate resources of Somerset County Council and Taunton Deane Borough Council
Experience of developing long-term, sustainable and successful partnerships with major public and private sector clients in order to deliver transformational change, facilitated by:
Industry-leading technology and business solutions
The depth and breadth of knowledge within our business consultants and systems specialists, that comes from being a large, global organisation
IBM’s ability to deliver investment into large-scale programmes
Our track record in understanding and delivering change based around people
A proven track record of developing innovation capabilities – again in partnership with our clients - in order to harness the best resources, business and technology insights available globally with the in-depth knowledge and experience that our clients have of their own businesses
A corporate ethos and set of values that is entirely compatible with SCC and TDBC’s
Our willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ and ‘test the boundaries of what might be possible’ with our existing and prospective clients. Over the past 12 months, we have proven our commitment to the councils’ transformational agenda and have, we believe, added significant value to it. This is best illustrated by the “Category of One” vision through which you can achieve true social and economic transformation and put yourselves in a league of your own for Local Government service delivery.
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 4
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
Promoting and exploiting the benefits of the Partnership – some examples
As indicated above, Our Somerset on the World Stage proposal explains how the partnership between SCC, TDBC and IBM can be exploited to help grow the local economy and change the social fabric of the region in a number of exciting and innovative ways
Our proposed Procurement Transformation project is another example of how IBM’s experience can be exploited by the councils to generate significant year-on-year savings to help fund transformation and frontline services
Extending the region’s broadband network bandwidth and overall ‘reach’ will underpin our social and economic transformation proposals. Furthermore, as with other investment proposals, these projects will benefit from the elevation of ISiS Procurement to a strategic level. IBM already spends billions of dollars world-wide on network services and technology. We will therefore be able to leverage our existing relationships to ensure that investments in this area will be minimum cost / best value
Further information
Please refer to the explanation of our joint “Category of One” vision for Somerset, explained with the Executive Summary for further examples of how the benefits of the Strategic Partnership can be developed to make a real difference for your local citizens, communities and businesses.
IBM’s response
In view of the councils’ commitment to involving staff and engaging with citizens and communities across Somerset, we will work with the councils to involve internal and external stakeholders in the re-design and development of services. Our approach is based upon ensuring that we capture the inputs and ideas from a wide range of groups in a variety of ways. Innovation Services are a very effective vehicle for achieving this.
Innovation Services can be used to bring together a wide variety of stakeholders in an environment that facilitates creative thinking, assisted by external stimulus. This has a key role to play in the redesign and re-development of services. A number of ideas are discussed within the four solution areas contained within this part of our Variant bid, including but not limited to:
(b) The ongoing engagement, consultation and involvement of all internal and external stakeholder groups (i.e. Customers, Elected Members, Staff, Other Service Providers etc) with the redesign and development of services
Developing customer-centric culture change so that, for example staff and partners understand and are committed to the principle of delivering what the customer needs and how he / she needs (i.e. focusing on the whole customer experience, not on specific services that they use)
Workshops and / or specific projects that concentrate on how to inform and educate specific parts of the population in such a way as to convince them to (for example) maintain healthier lifestyles, commit less crime or enrol in full-time education
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 5
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
Developing new and appealing ways to generate interest and support from the Voluntary sector, based on a better understanding of citizen demographics across the county (see Engaging with Customers in Somerset Method statement and Customer Access programme description)
Innovation Services can also be used to organise and run events to attract Inward Investment and supporting the set-up of new businesses within the area via the set-up of an Institute for Local Government (centre of excellence) in Somerset
Within our Somerset on the World Stage proposal, we also explain the concept of a ‘Somerset Jam’ to harness the best ideas from across the region to support economic development
In addition to the points listed above, analysis of performance data (see our Customer Access programme in Volume 2) will allow us to identify by area, services consumed and satisfaction levels. This enables us to actively communicate with particular members of society engaging them in service improvements, consultation exercises and user design activities. Furthermore, the creation of a Members Portal will allow members to view a tailored break down of how their area is performing relative to local and national norms.

People Programme: See answer to ITN section 5.6 question (e) – Staff and stakeholder consultations.
IBM’s response
We have proposed and flexible service delivery system to respond to a broad range of customer needs in relation to services being provided to the citizens, communities and businesses of Somerset and also in relation to the support services being provided to the councils and third parties. This ‘system’ comprises flexible and scaleable components within the business, technology and people components of our Variant Bid response. To this end, we are also making reference here to specific elements of our Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation Programme. These components include:
(c) The provision of a flexible service delivery system that will enhance positive change and support future organisational changes should they occur
A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach within our ICT solution, which is highly modular and flexible. This capability is virtually unique to IBM and a powerful way of integrating legacy systems to support future organisational changes. The ISiS Transformation journey is one which will face constant pressures to change and to evolve. For example, there are likely to be on-going pressures to cut costs and to become more efficient along with citizens expectation to interact with local government through the
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 6
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
internet. This will drive business process change. SOA is part of an ICT strategy that can support this constant change. Existing services can be offered through new channels. New services can be composed from several existing services to support new processes.
The Shared Service way of working (described within our Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation programme in Volume 2) is based upon efficient and enduring processes, regardless of whether the organisational structure that drives these processes changes over time.
Research has proven that mobile and flexible working improves empowerment, morale and work-life balance. Modernising the workplace (also part of our Enabling and Efficiency Programme) means not just a pleasant, efficient working environment but one configured to support new, more flexible ways of working. We are also introducing the flexible office concept, which is driven by customer and user needs, developed into specific user requirements and supporting infrastructure. Standardised accommodation and ‘free addressing’ are well-proven techniques in keeping productivity high, especially during periods of significant organisational change.
The Professional Excellence Model described within the People Programme creates greater flexibility in the workforce because within this model, we will be developing a common currency to describe people’s core skills and competencies. This will give the Councils greater choice in how people are deployed. Furthermore, the model is intended to make the organisation more agile in that it provides a foundation for accommodating future changes more effectively and efficiently.

IBM’s response
(d) ‘Breaking down barriers’, both within the Authorities and other partners, and the facilitation of radical culture change in order to achieve greater customer focus
In order to facilitate the required culture change to achieve the councils’ transformation vision, we are proposing a comprehensive programme of business and technical change. At the heart of this, we will work with you to continue to develop customer-centricity within the SCC and TDBC cultures. A range of interventions are required in order to make this happen. This includes a Professional Excellence model that puts in place the management and development activities required to continuously improve your people’s ability to deliver increasing levels and quality of customer service. This will be supported by a range of change leadership initiatives, a Top Talent programme and HR Transition project – all of which will be fully aligned with your core values and objectives around “delivering better services to our citizens”.
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 7
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
We have introduced the idea of a Customer-Centric Culture Change pilot, which will help break down the barriers to change and help in the evolution of the underpinning attitudes and behaviours, which leads to services delivered with greater alignment with your customer’s needs.
A full description of our 9-step ‘Magic Carpet Method’ for Culture Change appears within the People Programme
As the People Programme starts to take shape, the councils and IBM will need to monitor progress towards the new cultural model and will need to be prepared to challenge behaviours that are not aligned with this model as well as recognising ‘positive’ behaviours appropriately.
A key component of our Innovation Services offering is creative problem solving and innovative thinking techniques that can be extended to the councils’ partners in order to help change behaviours and perceptions in relation to customer service. This service tends to work best in a ‘neutral and stimulating environment’, such as the proposed Innovation Facility we describe within the Turning Your Vision for Somerset into Reality document.
Our Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation programme explains how customer contact points are designed to be single point of customer contact so enquiries will be directed appropriately from that single point. The customer contact centre for both tiers of government will co-locate both teams and have one reception point.
A further part of the ‘breaking down the barriers’ story is also provided within our Efficiency and Modernisation programme. Specifically, our Flexible and remote working proposition will improve the infrastructure that employees need to provide better services to customers.
Within our Community and Citizen Wellbeing proposition – part of our Customer Access programme in Volume 2, we explain the concept of electronic self-assessment (eSAP). eSAP will provide a number of key tools to facilitate greater Partnership Working within the Somerset region.

IBM’s response
(e) An ISiS strategy and network that ensures that there is consistent communication of messages at all times
Our assumption is that this requirement intends to address what IBM has to offer in terms of consistent human communication (content) as well as the supporting technology and processes (infrastructure) that facilitates communication
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 8
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
Developing appropriate programme-level communications and ensuring consistency of messages comes from establishing an appropriate governance model supported by a central change team within the Transformation Partnership Group. This team will work with the councils’ existing communication teams to ensure consistency across the key messages that are intended to be delivered to a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.
Consistency of communications is also a key part of succeeding in any large-scale culture change programme. We explain this further within the Culture and Partnership section, as part or our response to ITN section 5.6, which explains our approach to Culture change including communications and training.
From a technology perspective, collaboration tools such as Sametime and Quickplace enhance communication between teams and with external agencies. These are explained further within our Workplace modernisation proposition within our Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation programme.
IBM’s Enterprise Content Management (ECM) proposal helps integrate information and knowledge within the organisations that is currently held in disparate systems. IBM will also be introducing an enterprise-wide search facility as part of our ECM proposal.

Technology Enablement: Enterprise Content Management system.
IBM’s response
Joint Partnership training within the ISiS Transformation Programme manifests itself in a number of ways within IBM’s Variant Bid response.
(f) Significant investment in joint partnership training initiatives
Change Management Services within the Transformation Partnership Group, which includes a dedicated Training Manager post, responsible for co-ordinating all aspects of training development and delivery across the overall Programme. This will include:
Service-specific training to support transition
Development of a customer-centric culture for the ISiS Partnership
Specific training to support the Professional Excellence Model
Shared Services Training – based on SAP ERP and CRM systems
IBM Response to ISiS ITN Volume 2 – Section A5
IBM Confidential Page 9
Managing and Delivering Change Method Statement
Additionally, our commitment to on-going skills and knowledge transfer, coupled with the benefits of joint working within the JV secondment model means that both IBM and SCC / TDBC capabilities will grow through informal “on-the-job” means as well as through delivery of formal training courses.

IBM’s response
Our Somerset on the World Stage and our Community Access and Citizen Wellbeing programmes include a number of initiatives that will facilitate improvements to the overall quality of life for Somerset’s citizens from an individual and economic perspective. We believe that the proposals we have detailed within our Enabling Efficiency and Modernisation Programme have a role to play here too.
Rather than attempting to extract all of them here, we suggest that outcomes relating to ‘quality of life’ for the region as a whole are epitomised in the Somerset Local Area Agreement. Consequently, what we are summarising below are some of the areas where IBM’s insights and solutions as part of the Variant bid will help achieve the specific outcomes you and your partners are striving for within the LAA.

Details of the performance indicators / metrics that would be used to measure success and your proposed levels of performance against these.
Our Change Management methods and overall Governance model is intended to provide the necessary support to ensure that each of the five programmes delivers against its objectives. Because of this, we are not suggesting any specific and separate performance indicators and metrics for managing and delivering change over and above what has been committed to in each of the five programmes. Nevertheless, within the Turning Your Vision for Somerset into Reality proposal, we have explained that we will develop a Performance Management framework and Balanced Scorecard for ISiS Transformation that will be integrated as much as possible with your existing Performance Management systems
