Case Study - PWGSCBackground

• In 2010, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) was

dealing with complex, unprecedented change

• Stretching systems and people beyond anything they had ever

experienced.

• Tough fiscal restraint—with a deficit reduction of $4 billion, 5 to 10% of

departmental budgets were being cut

• Increasing the pressure on staff to do more with less.

• Retirements were seriously reducing the number of staff while there were

changing demographics to serve, and

• New technologies were raising service expectations at a time when their

client service was already considered too slow.

Page 24: Leadership and Culture SPRING Singapore Sharing 5th Nov

Copyright © aAdvantage Consulting 2014. All Intellectual Property Reserved. 24

Case Study - PWGSCObjectives of Client Service Committee

• Senior leadership committee was formed to deliver on the Client Service

Strategy.

• Cultural transformation to change the values and behaviors of the leaders

and staff was seen as a key driver to support the strategic initiatives.

• The directors-general from each branch were selected who would be

instrumental in transforming the client service culture

• With client service reported at a 50% satisfaction senior leadership

recognized that how they were doing business needed to change

significantly.

• The change would entail a transformation from rigid accountability to

stewardship (having control of $14 billion in government spending)

balanced by speed and agility.

Case Study - PWGSCCommittee Challenges within 1 year

• A leadership problem emerged within a year of starting the project.

• Discussion around the boardroom table was missing key voices of the senior leaders

• Engagement and commitment should have been high.

• Initiative was very strategic and had the deputy minister’s and assistant deputy minister’s attention.

• Directors-general were sending their directors, who were sending their managers to replace them, unprepared and with no authority.

• Needed to diagnose the reasons for the malaise affecting committee members.

• Time to make the intangible tangible and assess the committee’s performance by mapping and measuring its culture

Page 26: Leadership and Culture SPRING Singapore Sharing 5th Nov

Copyright © aAdvantage Consulting 2014. All Intellectual Property Reserved. 26

Case Study - PWGSCProcess and Solution

• Cultural Values Assessment from Barrett’s Values Centre Cultural Transformation Tools (CTT)

• The diagnosis was a misalignment of personal values with the values being experienced in the current culture of the committee.

• Ethics, Excellence and Leadership were personal values for seven out of the thirteen DGs.

• These values had also been selected by the DGs as desired cultural values, which meant the DGs considered them important going forward to achieve their goals.

• What was the problem? Why weren’t these values showing up in the current culture? What was happening to prevent them?

• Selected 5 key values and behaviours to align leadership team and build internal cohesion
