14. Project Challenges
• Project work undertaken on top of the day jobs

• Staff attitudes towards appraisals
• Briefings and communication took longer than
we thought

“behaviour”
• Designing the self assessment form

15. Project Success / Key Learning Points
• Strong project team
• Well defined project brief and defined outcomes
• Establish and adhere to a series of timelines/set tasks
• Planning and communication (never underestimate this)
• Small number of participants
• Importance of briefing and obtaining proactive
engagement and commitment
• Support and buy in from HR, senior colleagues as well
as working closely with consultant
• Held focus groups and conducted a online survey
• Used the participants feedback to decide the future of
project

16. Moving Forward: phase II
• Larger number of participants (circa 100)
• Broader range of departments
• One to one briefings with new department leads
• Regular communication updates
• Adding specialised training workshops
• Revised self assessment form using a coaching wheel as
the basis of self reflection
• Revisions to the Professional Development Framework
to incorporate a new “external” category, more IT and
technical behaviours

17. In conclusion…
Before you start implementing a project:
• Be clear about success - what does this look
like?
• Understand your audience – tailor
communication and engagement appropriately
• Pay attention to local context and potential
barriers
