Creating visibility for complex shutdowns: Work Management Processes

 

Challenge: An explosives company was experiencing complications in understanding the scope of works for a major shutdown project. In the current state, many departments were working across multiple systems that didn’t talk to each other, which created duplication, missed opportunities and potential errors. Steadfast was brought in to connect all these systems, giving all teams visibility over the entire scope, and ensuring everyone is working with accurate and current information.

 

Bringing people along for the journey: Business Integration with Organisational Change Management.

Challenge:  In an industry-first, BHP were introducing a new maintenance skill set into the business. While this would diversify and strengthen our workforce, and address an industry-wide skills-gap, these newly-trained maintainers had different qualifications than people were used to, and there were legalities, risks and limitations around what they could and couldn’t do on site. As this project involved challenges to existing norms, infrastructure and people processes, it was burdened with misconceptions, confusion and fear from existing employees.

Ensuring a repeatable and reliable "business as usual": Establishing New Processes and Aligning Stakeholder Interactions.

 

Challenge: After BHP created the new maintenance skill set, it remained an objective to work out the logistics and processes of physically deploying these people to sites. Where were they most needed? How would they integrate with existing teams? What procedures needed to be established to ensure a smooth process each and every time?

 

Working within business constraints: Organisational Change and Team Restructure.

Challenge: The Port Hedland planning team was understaffed, but the business needed to see a gain in productivity without recruiting more people. How could we deliver the desired output with less people, whilst still finding continuous improvement opportunities?

Phil takes the time to understand the person before focusing on the issue at hand. He invests the time to understand, to challenge and to bring people along on a journey of improvement. This  comes from a genuine interest in helping people and a belief in the human element of business success.

 

Only then does Phil draw from his many years of first-hand experience as a front-line operational and people leader, to arrive at solutions that are rooted in universally acknowledged business principles. It is this way of working that drew me to Phil from the outset.

 

Even when not engaged with Phil on a specific business project, he has spent a great deal of time discussing issues that are important to me and has supported, listened, questioned and challenged, in a way that is collaborative and supportive.
