Hello My name is Marcia Jackson and I am a continuous improvement manager. I am here today with Bob Hemrick, a council member and my sister, a brand and image manager who resides here in Maryland. Reasons to show videoHelp you to understand who we are and our purposeAnd it’s such an inspiring piece of workIt feels invigorating and freshAnd we are over 150 years old and generally thought as just that OLD, conservative and a bit stuffyBut we have come a long way in just a few short yearsWe have introduced social media and I am here to talk today about our practical application of implementing IBM Connections
But first, here’s how we are organized We operate both Regulated and non-regulated businessesOn the regulated side where the majority of employees workGenerate and distribute electricity and natural gasServe over 3 million customersNon-regulated businessOwn and manage a network of gas storage facilitiesOwn interest in pipelines that connect Michigan to Chicago and Ontario and that serve markets in NYCOperate 200 wells in central TexasOur biomass business converts methane from decomposing trash to electricity, steam, and pipeline gas at 20 landfills in 14 statesPhysical trading floor housed in Ann arbor that manages a portfolio of gas transport, and storage, and power and generation assets in the Midwest, northeast and Texas
Start by talking about our challenges as they relate to communities, conversations and content as Louis Richardson just discussed. Our purpose and statistics are awe-inspiring, 10 short years age, we were a different companyThere were many threats to our sense of communityWe merged in 2002 to get synergies and reduce costs and it was called a friendly merger because Local companies; lead by sitting leaders to design the new processes; final leaders were chosen; and then we were to become one big happy family. But we were two different large communities and in meetings, someone would ultimately who are you with? And we bought you. We get a few synergies but not the large ticket brick mortar not process changes; so we needed something else and that was PEP. I was a procurement manager at the time; provided a target, and generated ideas to get to the target. It was mean and messy w/o regard to process improvement or employeesCompetition was between plants, service centers but not other utilities
Conversations were held via email or meeting overload. During the late 1990’s, it was so overwhelming at Edison until No meetings Wednesdays became an initiative. We tried events and wikis to share knowledge but these tended to be too big, limited or still too inclusive
The biggest change that helped us shape how we would work and think was the design of our system of priorities introduced in 2009 as a list of priorities evolving into a system in 2010. And specifically, how we looked at employee engagement and ci
The four capabilities were adopted at DTE Energy as a result of the work of Dr Steven Spear, a recognized expert in the field of lean and performance excellence. These distinctive capabilities were adopted in 2008 and are part of our CI culture. Design work to see problems we are required to respond to a gas leak within 30 minutes – gas is infused with an odorant so that when a leak occurs, our customers report it, our CSR’s know to ask specific questions, and our field personnel know that they must respond within a pre-specified time period. The second capability, then is to solve for any problems that arise, as an example, several day shift personnel were not responding within their time allotted , problem stopping determined that a new dispatcher didn’t respond and the third capability is to share what you’ve learned with the other field stations that do the work. And the fourth capability starts with leaders coaching how to use the first 3 capabilities
To a 150 Year Old Company where the average age is 46 and the average years of service is TheIT manager was conducting a series of demonstrations to show the power behind the tool to leaders around the company.
