Industry Keynote Anne Kemp

Atkins / BuildingSMART UK


Collaborative working across the infrastructure industry ………… How hard can it be?! April 2015 Anne Kemp, PhD, FICE, FRICS Atkins Director and Fellow VC Building Smart UK Chair of ICE’s BIM Action Group, and of BIM4Infrastructure UK


The way into the problem - A Systemic approach “When people in organisations focus on their own needs and goals to the exclusion and sometimes detriment of the wider organisation and its aims – a lack of joined up, systemic or holistic thinking and behavior”. Willcock (2013, xi) .........”Contracts alone do not deliver improved performance or greater efficiency ……. further efficiencies can be made by aligning behaviours and commercial arrangements throughout the supply chain”.



Instigating change “Anne – this is not the softer side of BIM and collaborative working – this is the hard stuff”. There seems a lot of emotion around this ‘namby pamby’ soft stuff, generated from fear and defensiveness – a classic response to change. This resistance is pervasive. And it is a problem. Until we allow ourselves to be fully human and present in the workplace, with respect – until self-awareness and mindfulness can be integrated into the psyche of the industry, will we continue to feed the dysfunctional behaviours which cause so much angst and frustration?

You will certainly hear some people allege that they ’leave feelings at home’ …… But work stirs up emotion and why wouldn’t it when so much of our identity and satisfaction is (Rogers, 2010:15-16). bound up in it. .......


Instigating change “From a psychological perspective, an attempt to force change in a human system ……. can fall fowl of the natural human defences they evoke”, Willcock 2013:162

“Personally, I’m always ready to learn, Although I don’t always like being taught”. — Winston Churchill

“The problem of sustaining collaboration ... is the result of a paradox – attempts to provide solutions to the problem, particularly from one perspective, rather than providing the context and the means for people to find their own” Willcock 2013:163.


The systemic, conceptual framework

Anne Kemp, 2014


Looking to the Individual • • • • •

Individual responsibility Developing self-awareness Developing mindfulness Supporting diversity of thinking Intrinsic motivation and “organic solidarity”

A trend in the industry is to measure for competencies as part of the bidding process. I am concerned that on-going training and support to develop these competencies into embedded behaviours is not provided. Bower et al (2012:2038) confirm that competency does not mean that individuals have the


Turning to Leadership and the energy to empower individuals “Senior leaders need to strike that match to light the fire and then use their authority to empower others to fan it” Willcock 2013:166.

……”while many people are keen to contribute more at work, the behaviour of their managers and the culture of their organisation is actively discouraging them from doing so”. Alimo-Metcalfe and Alban-Metcalfe (2011:7)

“the concept of “shared” leadership .... leadership is not the sole preserve of those occupying formal leadership roles, but also emerges when people work together effectively”. Alimo-Metcalfe et al (2011:8)


……..And the Responsibility of Teams Too much identification with a team can get in the way of collaboration

The Open Team behaves as a healthy and balanced living system ….. it evolves alongside other teams and the organisation as a whole.

Working with a collaborative Open Team may not feel especially cosy at times…..

Challenge and support model from Willcock (2013:47)


Difficult Conversations – Team Dialogue The reluctance to be honest and speak up when things are not right “a key personal disappointment has been “call it when you see it” name it, and much rather take risk of it happening and stating it early on rather than leaving it until the end”. “Also a kind of - almost absence in UK construction industry honesty in response -if there are things you have to have, you have to say it. You don’t just sit there” “a clear, open channel for dialogue in order to communicate the good and the bad” “in our world of construction its quite easy to hide behind contracts – done it for decades if not centuries”


Walking the Talk A competency framework could be considered like a piece of music, a diagrammatic representation of the melody. It is only in the arrangement, playing and performance, however, that the piece truly comes to life. (Bolden and Gosling 2006: from Alimo-Metcalfe and Alban-Metcalfe (2011:11)


The missing pieces to instil collaborative working How do we make people feel “safe” to work collaboratively?

Anne Kemp, 2014 Interviewee S (Ref B6) ...... Trust is not an emotional issue - its practical – about competence, consistency and openness. Thought about that a long time – often use that phrase. In a sense can have most lovely cuddly relationship, but if they are not competent, consistent and open, you can’t trust them. Incredibly pragmatic thing, trust.

Interviewee J (Ref D6) Trust is right at the top. Got to be open. Trust is more a human condition I think, we’ve all got our ways of .approaching.... with trust ... you won’t get a collaborative contract delivering the goods unless there is a complete trust.

Interviewee R (Ref A2) Trust. How you build that trust is the key. I think that nearly everything else leads to creating that trusting relationship. Whether it be information, behaviours, collocation, scope clearing or whatever it is or developing those pieces. It all comes back to trust. If you don’t have great, trusting

Alignment Motivation Leadership Openness and trust Relationships Diversity


Learning and Development The need for better learning and development, under-pinned by on-going support ‘on-the-job’, which is where 70% of embedded learning occurs.

“BIM is driven by people and process, underpinned by collaboration. The basic problem is that we have been trained by the tribalists to fight our corners….the Architect is the enemy….the QS is the enemy …the nasty Contractor is the enemy and so on……. It’s been ingrained in our DNA and again its time to change. The professions and disciplines

Misalignment - a key feature in break-downs of relationships and trust Executives and senior managers have to commit to adopting such behaviours – particularly the latter who are typically most reluctant to participate actively in leadership development, may yet adopt command and control behaviour when under stress, and yet are the most influential on organisational culture

If it is true that to sustain motivation, it needs to be intrinsic rather than extrinsic, this impacts the whole of the system, and how it is tuned. Perhaps focusing on this – throughout the system – will help to get a better gearing of the system, and a more powerful source of sustained energy.

Behavioural

Developing as ‘Open Teams’ and role modelling collaboration. Leaders need to step into the organisation and show commitment to that way of working. Creating a safe emotional environment for collaborative working, being mindful of differing needs and stages of relationship development. Providing a framework of values and processes that support enquiry and collaborative dialogue throughout the organisation.

Key Recommendations Anne Kemp, 2014

Key Recommendations Recommendation A Recommendation B Recommendation C Recommendation E Recommendation F

Sustained and supported learning and development

Thought leadership on the “soft” issues

Empowering leadership at an individual level, guided by an intrinsic motivation in alignment with the system as a whole may sound like a panacea, but isn’t a bad aspiration to set off with.

The common sense and conscience monitor A sense of balance - use of the framework as a tool

If the individual and the collective responsibility can align, then collaborative working should become self-sustaining

Consider further:

Input from an appropriate ‘common sense and conscience’ monitor with the duty to continually scan the landscape for challenges to the collaborative working dynamic would seem an important feature for the long term health of the system.

Alignment and Motivation

Group Dynamics and Team Working Openness Leadership

Mindfulness


The essence of being human – more than simply intellect Alignment, motivation Leadership, relationships, trust, diversity (of thinking)

Mind change Susan Greenfield, 2014

The merging of our virtual and physical worlds – how far do we go?

Conclusions There is no overnight solution to collaborative working. The recommendations emerging from this research investigation provide practical steps to instil collaborative working in the infrastructure industry. But the operative word is instil this is a long term, and gradual transformation which requires commitment, quiet determination, resolution and persistence. Anne Kemp, 2014

And being braver about the “softer� issues will certainly help.

Conclusion


Replacing Rhetoric with Reality • It extends, gladly, this process into the everyday use of the building, with post-occupancy checklists and environmental performance data, while ultimately giving society a better end product. – This hopefully then restores certainty, and replaces rhetoric with reality (Harty, Laing 2010). Slide 109/48


Three Pillars of Excellence • Ultimately with constructive feedback the ‘Three Pillars’ of constructing excellence can be met: Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), true Evidence-Based Design (EBD) and better project briefing. – EBD is the realisation that design options should be based on researched evidence rather than the intuition of the designer (Ulrich 2001). Slide 110/48


Apps/Bots • This can include apps (applications) or bots (robots) that process the information finding solutions and approving or flagging issues that would otherwise take much time (Harty 2012). – Examples of this are digital building code approval, or search engines that automatically find building products that meet an element’s increasingly-refined properties (Obonyo 2010).


SME’s • ‘There were an estimated 4.9 million businesses in the UK which employed 24.3 million people, and had a combined turnover of £3,300 billion. SMEs accounted for 99.9 per cent of all private sector businesses in the UK, 59.3 per cent of private sector employment and 48.1 per cent of private sector turnover’ – (Federation of Small Businesses 2013) Slide 112/48


Technology • A technologist is one who can implement, understand and communicate the new requirements in a salient, appropriate manner, stressing who is the bearer of this news and who can guarantee safe passage, to those who can best be served by better informed design, whether they are clients, users or society at large.

Abuse • Sustainability, energy consumption and embodied carbon appreciation are all a result of poor management and abuse of the finite resources this planet has to offer.

Mapping Virtuality • Practically speaking, Augmented Reality (AR) is the mapping of the virtual world onto the real one. • It allows both worlds to be experienced together at the same time, meaning the proposal can be assessed before being realised. – Where this will truly pay dividends is when the model filters down to the least expected actor in the project.

Slide 130/48


Augmented Reality • For example, this could mean an electrician seeing where the light switch is to be placed or mounted on a wall … on his/her mobile device. – Conduits, methods and expected qualities can be shown superimposed on the reality, location is correctly marked and both the components and their assembly correctly sequenced.

Scalability • Bringing consultants, developers and users closer together integrates design better (Gravad, Brenøe 2014). – Buildability improves; both sustainability and digitalisation become the driving force for better communication among the customer, design team, contractor, subcontractor and supplier (Manthorpe 2014)
