Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

LATA/Parallax Portsmouth, LLC (LPP)
Scope: Proposal Assistance, Transition Planning, and Transition Implementation
for the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Facility
Background:
The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (part of the Portsmouth site) is a uranium enrichment plant that was
constructed in the mid 1950's and operated by the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies to
supply both high-and low-enriched uranium for defense purposes and commercial nuclear fuel sales. The uranium
enrichment program utilizing the gaseous diffusion process resulted in the generation of significant quantities of
radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste, which is referred to as legacy waste, and other contaminants. Waste and
contaminants at the site include those regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), and the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), including construction debris, sanitary
waste, hazardous waste (HW), radioactive low-level waste (LLW), and mixed low-level waste (MLLW).
LATA/Parallax Portsmouth developed and submitted a winning proposal to the Department of Energy in response to
Request for Proposal to replace the Bechtel Jacobs Company whose contract was expiring. The Scope included the
Clean Up and Remediation/Environmental Management Services at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
Link Scope:
In support of the requirements of LPP’ efforts to respond to DOE’s RFP and to execute the awarded contract:
Link provided an estimate of all employee and labor related transition costs in sufficient detail to be
included in the target cost of this contract. Provided support to LPP in determining other transition costs.
Proposed costs were broken down by the following major cost elements: direct labor (including labor
125 TownPark Drive, Suite 300
Kennesaw, Georgia 30144
770-919-7070
8. categories, and labor hours in each category), relocation, travel, materials, supplies, subcontracts, and all
other costs.
Link led the development of a Transition Plan, supported LPP to allow submittal within 3 days after any
award to LPP. Detail and scope had to be sufficient to meet the requirements of DOE. The objectives were:
(1) achieve an orderly transition; (2) be fair to incumbent employees and maintain a productive and flexible
work force; (3) minimize the cost of the transition and its impacts on other DOE programs; (4) promote
those practices which will result in stable collective bargaining relationships; (5) adhere to DOE’s
Workforce Restructuring Plan for the facility; (6) integrate ES&H into the transition phase to ensure safety
and regulatory compliance; and (7) ensure compliance with DOE’s Request for Proposal. The Plan had to
address LPP’s approach, methods and processes for the integration and interfaces with other contactors and
private corporations on site. This included LPP’s organizational structure, strategy and understanding of
respective site roles, methods of resolving disputes and addressing issues, and approach to transition
including continuation of remediation activities, seamless transition of human resources, and strategy for
assumption of the directed or any other subcontracts. It was also understood that Link’s main focus and
responsibility as it related to the Transition Plan was focused on employee and labor related transition
activities.
Link managed the Transition Team during the transition period to ensure all Transition Objectives were
achieved while also ensuring transition costs incurred are allowable, allocable, and reasonable. Transition
Objectives can be summarized as:
o
Informing incumbent employees about the transition and various stages of the review and hiring
process through various means of communication
o Engaging Union Labor leadership to achieve mutual understanding early in the transition
o Achieving seamless transition of payroll and benefits
o Initiating alignment with DOE (PPPO and POOG) and other site contractors through a series of
meetings and MOUs to ensure clarity of interfaces, jurisdictions, protocols, and continuity of
support
o Maintaining tight accountability of nuclear material and the security of all site assets
o Preparing to maintain safety envelope for all facilities and operations
o Ensuring readiness to maintain compliance with DOE Orders, local, state, and federal regulations,
and all remediation requirements
o Transitioning (“blue-sheeting”) all existing Policies & Procedures (several thousands) to ensure
compliance while streamlining and adapting to a new culture
o Setting the stage for future rejuvenation of people and processes to achieve DOE objectives.
Link assisted LPP in conducting labor relations in accordance with applicable laws and DOE’s intent that
labor relations policies and practices reflect the best experience of American industry in aiming to achieve
the stable labor-management relations essential to successful accomplishment of DOE’s programs at
reasonable cost. Link provided assistance in recruiting, interviewing, and selecting the LPP staff.
Thereafter, Link provided ongoing labor relations and HR consultation and advice as needed.
