Align ways of working & cadence
“Where we
are today
couldn’t happen
without
the journey
we had”
Put things into your own context
Start your journey now!
50 years old, reinvented our business model quite a few times to exist today
DNA: Legro ‘what’s your proposal’ ? Transformatie van Charter naar LCC
Part of AFKL; 4 bases FR, 3 NL, > 60 a/c, 100+ destinations Europe
Out there, it’s like everyone is ‘pouring sand in your eyes’. So much happening, so fast. How to keep up?
Phase 1: start initiatives & create a critical mass (2014, 2015)
- Customer journey, PXI
- Lean startup team @ PX innovations
- Scrum teams @ new transavia.com website
- Lean improvement @ Operational departments
- Innovation team, outside-in & open innovation
- Develop innovation ecosystem: developers, startups, scaleups, corporates, networks
2015, 2016: Bring learnings together, gather insights, develop vision NEED TO CHANGE AS ORG!
Scrum teams SAFe Transavia Agile Framework
Lean startup team lean startup way of working, validated learning by running experiments
Inspiration workshops, talks, enable innovation for organization
Why need to change?
Intern: silo’s, > collaboration, > efficiency & cost level, faster decision making, faster time2market, customer centricity, value delivery, from inside-out to outside-in focus = customer collaboration, open innovation, need to defend market position and find new areas of growth
Extern: pace of change, > competition, responding to change (adaptability -> anti-fragility), become digital @ DNA
Becoming an Ambidextrous organization, anti-fragile, continuous transformation
New Operating model - With a new set of operating behaviors
EX = CX
MVP: New Commerce Organization
Using what worked & seemed suitable for us, from: Agile, lean, holocracy, Spotify + thought leaders: Semler, Osterwalder, etc.
Bases, crews, fleets, platforms. + TAF
Task result focus
Job description rol(es)
Base lead overleggen: HR & OD, eg BizDevOps. Working ON iso working IN
Working IN @ teams; decision making @ specialists
PI events: Zat al in IT, nieuw voor business. Kadans voor heel COMM neerzetten. Eerst apart IT & COM, nu geintegreerd PI event
Culture (= Attitude + Behavior)
Values: Friendly, Responsible, Inspired, Decisive
EXI, Employee journey + wat doen we er nu mee
Empowerment eerder gestart: Leadership program, Agile transformation HR, Individual & team development (GROW sessions)
‘facilitating leadership’, bewustwording van change curve van individu & team + hoe eigen team hierin helpen (zonder doen vanuit inhoud)
Binnen NCO: relatief kleine groep. Bl’s coaches, od
Beloningsstelsel omgegooid; 50% beloning obv. personal ‘leadership assignment’
In org: personal development (result / skills / value based), 360 feedback from colleagues
Learning environment different mindset. Inzicht in elkaar, begrip & samenwerking, elkaar inzetten op waar je sterk in bent
= Value systems+ Change capability; people change / culture scans
Current largest value system at HV: …
Current largest value system at HV – under pressure: …
Desired value system at HV: …
-> What’s necessary to come at that stage?
Commerce: blauw – oranje. Nu winstgedreven, geen hark meer, resultaatgericht. (backend soms hark nog nodig, frontend niet meer zichtbaar)
Nu opstart naar integraliteit: customer / employee / flight journey gericht, trust based
Managing FX: cost
Process driven
Command and control
Telling
Managing FX: revenue (PX is a means)
Strategy driven
Result
Selling
Managing EX/PX (PX is a goal)
Values driven
Empowerment
Participating
Managing innovation

New structure designed in 2016
Selection of people end 2016, goodbye to 25 Transavia colleagues
Started in new Bases and Agile/scrum per 2 January 2017
New vacancies / 28 new people onboarded (incl interns)
Biggest successes (what worked): …
Biggest learnings (what worked not): …
Timeline inhoud theme based uitleg (zoals OD) = beter plaatje.
Trots zijn op wat we allemaal hebben gedaan in 1 jaar tijd!
New operating model:
In progress, C&I leent zich makkelijker voor agile approach
Run = challenging. Breaking the silo’s between OPS & COM, 2 parts of company with own structures & legacy
integrality, reactive proactive
Useful: set up kanban board, align on way of communicaton & working
Example: integral planning (from planning in fixed order: market-revenue-fit @ OPS. To: margin optimal integral approach (cost level). Validate network @ cost level & iterate back to optimize network. Fleet costs: validate at all key stakeholders before making decisions on fleet development. Past = often insights too late, now proactive
NCO 2017: major change. Selection on capability of people to deal with this. Verbouwen met winkel open, bleek succesvol. Continu in beweging
Learning: Coaches Base core waren de experts van vroeger. = coach kan ook beoordelen op inhoud, belemmert zelfsturing.
Nu echt los laten, tussenvorm, managers facilitating leadership. Echte change pas jaar later op mgt. Was wellicht nodig / was het dan gelukt om te verbouwen met de winkel open?
Transformation heath map bringing company wide change initiatives together to accelerate
Personal development: hier toelichten, niet bij NCO plaat slide.
Communication: herladen brand, zwaar accent op intern / de medewerker
Synergy: bringing change initiatives together > transformation program
Boodschap: There is no way back
Start doing: eerst in een gedeelte van het bedrijf gedaan. IT & COM & OPS is nog in progress. Success case
Ritme afstemmen op elkaar: 1 kadans voor zowel COM als IT, zelfde flow
Zet mensen in hun kracht: specialist maakt beslissingen, gebruik elkaars sterktes & waardesystemen
Cultuur, voldoende aandacht voor onderstroom = waar de echte change plaats vindt
Zet specialisten niet op faciliterende rollen, tenzij ze het kunnen (kom niet vanuit specialisme op die rol terecht)
Dus pas je beloningssysteem er op aan
