45. Online workplace forums
were alight recently with
discussion about an article in
the UK’s Guardian Online
newspaper that asked, “Is
this the end of the office as
we know it?” Apparently, 46%
of UK workers find their local
coffee shop a more productive
environment than their office.
However, the footnote
to the article revealed the
journalistic equivalent of
bubble-wrap: “Content on
this page is paid for and
produced to a brief agreed
technological breakthroughs
will transform the way we
work over the next five to
10 years.” No s**t Sherlock!
This was hot on the heels
of another study conducted by
Virgin Media, one of the UK’s
largest providers of domestic
broadband connections,
which concluded “The UK
economy could receive a £1.7
billion boost if employees are
given the option to carry out
their work from where they
see fit.” They of course mean
from home – using an internet
O2 and Virgin Media are
not alone - Microsoft has a
Chief Envisioning Officer, BT
a futurologist and Vodafone a
workplace strategy consultancy
service - and much of what
they propose is beneficial.
70,000 employees Leesman
has asked, report that the
design of their space enables
them to work productively!
There is little doubt that
for some employees struggling
with low enclosure offices, the
cohesive ‘unit’ working
towards a common goal if
the team members are not
in the same physical space?
There may be a small
number of roles and
personality types for whom
isolation is beneficial, but our
data tells us that whilst for
some, concentrated activities
may be better supported by
the solitude of home, almost
all collaborative activities,
including ‘learning from
others’, are hampered by it.

Darwin is often mis-quoted as
saying it is the strongest whosurvive. He actually proposedthat it is the “adaptable” whosurvive – those who changeand develop in line withchanges in their surroundings.
If the same is true in corporatelife, is it not time to offergreater help for employees toadapt to workplace changes
around them by looking at theworld from their angle?So I’ve ploughed throughlarge amounts of change,change managementand workplace changeliterature. And at the riskof oversimplification, Iwould say most focus onemployee resistance and onthe various “tricks,” suchas communication and
engagement, to overcome thisresistance.
But I think it’s a bit tooharsh to say that peopleblindly resist change – Iwould suggest instead thatthey merely “react.”AndI think you will agree thatto “react” is an entirelyreasonable response whenstuff is going on around you.
Wouldn’t it in fact berather alarming if nobodychallenged a move from aprivate office to open plan,or giving up their designated
desk in return for having theoption to choose betweennumerous free workstationsevery morning? Wouldn’tthat signal a complete lack of
engagement and motivation?So everyone should
be allowed – or actuallyencouraged – to challengenew things in theirorganisations. So I suggest
we stop talking aboutemployee resistance as theworst challenge a managercan face, and insteadembrace the change critique
that people offer.It has also frustratedme while digging throughendless academic papers ontransformational change,how employees are toooften lazily massed as ahomogenous group called“the employees” and howthis group is then seen as anobject in which change needs
to be implemented.It is almost as if theemployees were one and thesame person who thinks andreacts in the same way. Yetwe all know this to be so farfrom reality. The reality is,not everyone will react in thesame way. When change isdelivered, some people getexcited while others put their
foot down and challenge what
is happening. We simply arenot all the same.
At the Workplace Trendsevent in London a few weeksago, one of the speakers was
asked how the employeeshad reacted to the workplace
change that they haddelivered. Her answer “Somepeople will always complain”was met with comfortablelaughter from the audience,as to confirm “we know what
you mean, we’ve all dealtwith those people.”But instead of justlaughing and acceptingthat some employees will“always” complain andusing that as justification toignore the problem, why notmake an effort to actuallyunderstand why some peoplealways complain.One popular model usedto describe the emotionalprocess that employees gothrough when confrontedwith change is the so-calledChange Curve. It wasoriginally developed byKübler-Ross to explain howpeople deal with catastrophic
loss, and it suggests thatpeople go through the stagesof denial, anger, bargaining
and depression beforereaching the final stageof acceptance.
Although it serves thepurpose of communicatingthe emotional processpeople might go through inchange, there’s again a riskthat it is used to oversimplify
the experience of severalindividuals into one collectiveexperience. And certainlydon’t expect employees toprogress through the curveat the same pace.In my research I’veheard two individuals fromthe same organisation,who were subject to thesame communication andengagement, give completelycontradicting answers aboutcertain events related to their
office relocation.I’ve also seen howlocation decisions,distribution of office roomsand allocation of parkingspaces have become bigissues and have causedunnecessary distractionsfor project teams becauseof unanswered questions,wrong interpretations and a

Leesman Review –– 5
Online workplace forums
were alight recently with
discussion about an article in
the UK’s Guardian Online
newspaper that asked, “Is
this the end of the office as
we know it?” Apparently, 46%
of UK workers find their local
coffee shop a more productive
environment than their office.
However, the footnote
to the article revealed the
journalistic equivalent of
bubble-wrap: “Content on
this page is paid for and
produced to a brief agreed
with O2 Business.”
It is yet another article
rallying knowledge workers to
break from the shackles of their
ineffective offices, authored by
the mobile communications
giants who stand to gain most
from swathes of mobile tech
users becoming reliant on
(addicted to) super-fast
mobile networks.
The paid-for content was
based on “a survey of 10,000
workers” and was conducted
by Telefonica’s O2. Few
details are available about
the questions that were asked
but the resultant findings
“revealed that more than
half of respondents thought
technological breakthroughs
will transform the way we
work over the next five to
10 years.” No s**t Sherlock!
This was hot on the heels
of another study conducted by
Virgin Media, one of the UK’s
largest providers of domestic
broadband connections,
which concluded “The UK
economy could receive a £1.7
billion boost if employees are
given the option to carry out
their work from where they
see fit.” They of course mean
from home – using an internet
connection provided by them!
They appear to have
drawn this figure from a
Confederation of British
Industry report that states
that £17 billion is lost every
year through absenteeism.
It is unclear whether the
“£1.7billionboost”iscalculated
from 10% of those absent
employees suddenly feeling
well enough to contribute from
their sickbeds because they
haveblisteringlyfastfibreoptic
internetconnectivity,orwhether
it is their office-based healthy
co-workers picking up the
slack by adding hours when
they get home or using their
mobile tech while en route.
O2 and Virgin Media are
not alone - Microsoft has a
Chief Envisioning Officer, BT
a futurologist and Vodafone a
workplace strategy consultancy
service - and much of what
they propose is beneficial.
The ‘evidence’ would be
so much more compelling if
it focused on the core issue.
If indeed employees are
retreating to cafés en masse,
it surely says more about the
quality of the workplace they
are escaping from, than it does
of a technology or caffeine
fuelled yearning for greater
concentration.
Rather than pitching mobile
technologies and coffee at us,
perhaps the communications
giants could focus their PR
based “research” activities
on raising the debate about
the design quality of office
environments: just 54% of the
70,000 employees Leesman
has asked, report that the
design of their space enables
them to work productively!
There is little doubt that
for some employees struggling
with low enclosure offices, the
opportunity to escape for the
sanctuary of home is a lifeline.
Across Leesman’s 70,000
research respondents, 33%
indicate that they work from
home at least occasionally
and 17% work from home
more than one day per
week, but 44% of those
homeworkers say they have
no dedicated space or room
to work from when at home.
Clearly improvements in
technological connectivity
allow these respondents to
contribute and be productive,
but to what extent can they
really be ‘connected’? Is it
possible to create a socially
cohesive ‘unit’ working
towards a common goal if
the team members are not
in the same physical space?
There may be a small
number of roles and
personality types for whom
isolation is beneficial, but our
data tells us that whilst for
some, concentrated activities
may be better supported by
the solitude of home, almost
all collaborative activities,
including ‘learning from
others’, are hampered by it.
For HR professionals the
management of remote teams
produces bigger issues. With
a growing awareness of the
impact of social isolation on
clinical depression, we have
to question whether it is really
possible to have any sense of
employees’ physical or mental
wellness when they are not in
the office.
Our data leaves us in
no doubt that the most
productive workplaces are
those that have the best
“social infrastructures,” not

> This needs careful planning and requires a 6
step approach.
89. 3 | BIFM North Region Key Learning Event of 2015 – Strategic FM
Step 1 – Understand the Business
Strategy
> We need to understand the Business Aims,
Business Vision and Mission Statement – in fact
we should consider anything that refers to the
overall business direction/strategy.
90. 4 | BIFM North Region Key Learning Event of 2015 – Strategic FM

Strategy

> etc

other departments.
91. 5 | BIFM North Region Key Learning Event of 2015 – Strategic FM

Factors

Assessment) and PESTLE (External Assessment).

time, so the FM strategy may no longer be fit
for purpose and in need of amendment.
> We are now about to complete the circle as the
freshly delivered strategic plan needs to be
reviewed, in terms of success, against the
Business Plan performance.
> Is the delivered FM strategy fully supporting
the core business?

Any Questions
105. • I have been in the service industry for almost all my adult life and am
passionate about my profession
• I have worked on both sides of the fence in my career
• As a Director of Facilities my role is about understanding and satisfying
the needs of people in our business (and all too often their wants as well)
• I don’t do rocket science or management speak (and I apologise now for
any profane language!)
• I’m not an optimist or a pessimist, I’m a Facilities Manager
• This is my view, right or wrong
Before we begin
106. Today Im going to…
• Talk about the story of ITVs FM strategy
• Show how it added value
• Give some practical tips at the most basic level
• Talk about my personal experience
• Leave you with something to think about
109. A plan of action that is designed to achieve a long term or
overall aim
The art of planning and directing overall military operations
and movements in a war or battle (ITVs case!)
What is Strategy?
110. • ITV 2005-2010
• 12 companies
• Run by TV people
• Not One-ITV
• 2009 payroll
Company Context
111. • ITV structure is such that everyone thinks they are in charge (and right!)
• Lawless - everyone doing just what they wanted to do
• Clue in the title – ITV – we make programmes for other people
• Hardly anyone knew who FM were or what we did
• No-one could see how we could or were adding value
• Services that were provided differed from site to site
• TFM outsourcing was being looked at seriously
• Everyone in the team worked really hard – doing lots for everyone but
sometimes missing the basics (which of course is what people notice)
• My team had good people that were capable of doing much more and
needed to be given a chance
FM Context
112. ‘Create a lean ITV making world class programmes capable of being
broadcast over different platforms and sold around the globe.’
The Company Strategy
…or Mission Statement
…or Vision
…or Objective
…etc…
113. • Give them a place they are proud of and want to work in
• Make it easy to work here
FM Strategy (and objectives)
114. • Know the company objective
• Understand your company structure and the functional objectives
• Understand its culture
• Understand the make up and character of the people in your buildings
(average age is young in ITV)
• Understand your own people (their capabilities, wants and needs)
My (and your) most basic understanding…
115. Our FM strategy – a three year plan
Year 1 - Fix the basics
Year 2 - Get out there
Year 3 - Global domination/One ITV
Year 4 - Measurement and Management
Year 5 - Experience and Environmental
FM Strategy
116. Four different FM groups using different systems
Generally poor office accommodation
6 different company helpdesks - frustration
Different buses
Quick wins
Listen to the staff – roadshow feedback
One ITV
Tip number 1 - set your aircon to 23 degrees…
Tip number 2 - who is the cleaning lady?
Tip number 3 - 54321
Year 1 – Fix the basics
118. No internal colleague brand – pictures of ‘talent’ (TV stars)
No one listens to us…
Little pride in the workplace
Getting our people out into the business to get known
Find out what colleagues really value? (Coffee!)
New ways of working?
Tip number 4 be personally visual
Tip number 5 the power of internal marketing
Tip number 6 people prefer American diners
Year 2 – Get out there
122. Separate News property structure (no one loves us)
Disengaged with ITV
Over 100 buildings
Programme of consolidation & refurbishment
ITV internal brand
International beckoning…
Tip number 7 show interest in what everyone does
Tip number 8 opportunity knocks - get in there!
Year 3 - Global domination
(well, UK first!)
124. We went back to basics in the way we measured the value we brought
We reviewed the way we managed our service providers
We don’t like SLA/KPI’s (work for commodities, not for people)
One team, involve everyone
Tip number 9 - Celebrate your successes (with everyone who will listen!)
Year 4 – Measurement and Management
132. • The job is what you make it – change your attitude (Fish)
• When all’s said and done there’s a lot more said than done – so do!
• JFDI (no-one will blame you if you get it wrong if the sentiment is good
and the intent is there)
• Get out there, no really, get out there.
• Love your procurement people
• The power of the Unsolicited Note
• A good team well led can work anywhere
• Cant look back and have a brand new start but you can look forward and
have a brand new ending.
• Newtons 3rd law – your job to consider this…
• And lastly - Thinking time
My personal experience
133. Refocusing on our environmental impact to reduce costs
(sustainability and carbon reduction is important)
Give back control
Thinking about an old thing in a new way
Experience level agreements
Year 5 - Experience and Environmental…
134. The SLA is dead…long live the Experience
Service or Experience – what would you choose?
Replacing Service Levels with Experience Levels
SLA’s – Rigid, stifle creativity, tick box FM, bland, one dimensional, cold
ELA’s – Fluid, engaging, colourful, four dimensional, five senses, lasting
Four customer S’s that are part of the Experience
Satisfaction – what the customer expects
Sacrifice – what the customer doesn’t notice or mind not having
Surprise – what the customer remembers
Suspense – what the customer anticipates
Each and every action should contribute to the total experience being staged
135. • Understand the company strategy first
• Understand the company culture
• Know where you are starting in FM – be honest
• Understand the direction you want to take
• But don’t plan too far ahead (stay agile and above all keep it simple)
• Know your business and get out there
• Be bold, think of FM as an engagement tool not a commodity
• Examine and then rewrite your SLA as ELA
In summary…
