Communications and Engagement Plan

Promoting end-to-end services of the Performance Management and Quality Branch

Scope and strategic advice

Business objectives

  • To contribute to the sustainability of the NDIS, in line with Aspiration 6 of the Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025.
  • To support improvements to participant experience and monitor the achievement of Participant Experience Delivery (PED) KPIs under the Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025 around access, planning and participant experience by:
    • providing quality assurance
    • encouraging practice change through analysis, education and coaching
    • delivering operational and performance insights to enable business partners to identify risks and take action
  • To achieve a high-performing NDIA (and in turn improve participant experience) by promoting best practice service delivery across PED Branches and Partners in the Community (PITCs) and identifying opportunities for improvement, in line with Aspiration 5 of the Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025.
  • To uplift NDIA and PITC capabilities and maintain strong staff engagement, in line with strategic goal 5.1 of the Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025.
  • To enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of NDIA processes and systems through assurance and performance reporting, in line with strategic goal 5.2 of the

Audience analysis and risk

Agency

  • PED leadership (ELT) need to be informed and able to use PM&Q capability to monitor KPIs, PSG, adherence to SOPs, and manage emerging issues to inform senior management decisions.
  • PED Branch managers and state managers need tailored, up-to-date information to understand relevant KPIs and progress being made across PED to inform management decisions and team updates.
  • PED frontline staff need relevant, easily digestible information with clear calls to action for day-to-day work and decision-making to meet the PED KPIs and best practice service delivery.

Partners in the Community

  • Local Area Coordinators (LACs) and Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) partners need relevant, timely, easily digestible information with clear calls to action for day-to-day work and decision-making to meet partner KPIs and feed into PED KPIs, supporting best practice.

Scope and strategic advice

Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025

  • To provide PED business areas and PITCs with insights and recommendations for continuous improvement, supporting participant experience and Scheme sustainability.

2. Communications and Engagement objectives

  • To provide Agency staff and partners with guidance around the streamlined services offered by the newly restructured Performance Management and Quality (PM&Q) Branch

  • To encourage Agency staff and partners to access the services offered by the PM&Q Branch and consider PM&Q services (such as deep dives and education) in their regular ways of working

  • To promote Partners in the Community (PITCs) awareness of how PM&Q contributes to the aspirations and strategic goals of the Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025.

Audience analysis and risk

3. What is current state/future state

Current state

The PM&Q Branch has recently been restructured to include the former Quality Branch, Business Intelligence team (from the Office of the Scheme Actuary), and some Learning and Development and Change Management staff.

The effect of this restructure on PED has not yet been communicated to the business, which means that Branches across PED are not taking full advantage of the services offered by the PM&Q Branch as part of a BAU approach.

Through their assurance work, the PM&Q Branch is responsible for measuring performance for some PED KPIs and the Participant Service Improvement Plan.

9. Communications and engagement risks

  • Risk: That the development of the communications plan concurrently alongside business unit procedures causes inaccuracies or confusion

o Mitigation: That the communications plan is finalised after all relevant PM&Q procedures are finalised, prior to actioning the communication activity schedule

o Mitigation: That the communications plan receives final sign off at the SES1 level to ensure alignment with PM&Q procedures

o Mitigation: That the progress of the communications plan is added as a standing agenda item at PM&Q Branch Operations meetings

  • Risk: That staff and PITCs finds PM&Q Intranet resources

Scope and strategic advice

The Branch undertakes qualitative reviews focusing on Scheme sustainability. These ‘deep dive’ projects help internal stakeholders to understand particular issues, cohorts, or cost pressures, and provide recommendations and insights to improve systems, processes and practices.

The Branch delivers high-level insights, data and risk analysis to senior PED leadership and shares operational and performance insights to business areas across PED such as data and trend analysis, business impact, risk and recommendations — with a focus on PED KPIs, sustainability metrics and pulse metrics.

The Branch ensures operational insights cascade across PED businesses to link executive priorities to frontline activities.

Future state

PED Branches understand and access the complete, end- to-end service offered by PM&Q (as outlined in the PM&Q accountability statement), comprised of analysing data and conducting file reviews of participant plans; sharing insights; providing education and coaching; and fostering practice improvement.

The PM&Q Branch will have the visibility they need to efficiently and effectively respond to business needs and guide, educate and facilitate continuous improvement in business practices across PED Branches.

PM&Q measurements — short-term

  • Positive feedback received from stakeholders

  • Improved practice and adherence to SOPs across PED,

Audience analysis and risk

difficult to understand or access, which compromises success

o Mitigation: Plain English resources are presented in an audience-focused format and structure

Risk: That the communications plan causes damage to the reputation of the PM&Q Branch by only highlighting negative stories arising from reviews

o Mitigation: That key messages and content contain positive, ‘good news’ stories to highlight good practice, as well as highlighting opportunities for improvement

Risk: That PM&Q Branch processes highlighted in the communications plan cause internal confusion or disagreement during a time of change and transition for the Branch

o Mitigation: That the proposed implementation strategies are aligned throughout the Branch by PM&Q leadership

o Mitigation: That Operations Team (Branch Improvements) resources are allocated as needed to the implementation, monitoring and review of the approved communications plan

o Mitigation: That the implementation of the communications plan is added as part of the Branch performance goals and routinely monitored.

Scope and strategic advice

  • Measured through PED KPIs
  • Improved plan quality, identified through deep dive reviews, activities to satisfy the Partner Quality Framework, and end-to-end quality reviews
  • Increased proportion of team members maintaining good practice, measured through learning and development metrics, such as level 1 learning measures
  • Increased use of 360 dashboards routinely to support achievement of KPIs and focus on scheme sustainability
  • Measureable improvements are observed against PED and Participant Service Guarantee KPIs and pulse metrics, and linked to PM&Q activities and support.

Communications measurements

  • 50% increase in visits to PM&Q Intranet pages for Q3 FY21 (from Q1 FY21)
  • Engagement rates on Express staff profiles exceed benchmarks.

Audience analysis and risk

5. Key milestones

  • Communications plan is signed off at the SES1 level
  • Intranet content goes live
  • Internal communications collateral is approved
  • Communications plan is fully implemented
  • Communications plan is evaluated.

10. Feedback and evaluation process

  • Request quantitative analytics (in line with success measurements) as required
  • Request qualitative feedback from PM&Q Branch key contacts
  • Compile findings into evaluation document and coordinate approvals.

Key messages

Overarching — talking about the Branch

  • The Performance Management and Quality (PM&Q) Branch empowers teams across Participant Experience Delivery (PED) and Partners in the Community (PITCs) with insights, analysis and learning and development to support delivery of a quality participant experience and a sustainable Scheme.

  • The Agency has recently combined the expertise of staff who specialise in quality assurance, business intelligence, change management and learning and development to create a complete service offering which supports a sustainable, high-performing NDIA.

  • The specialised services offered by the PM&Q Branch will give PED staff the learning and development they need to deliver their KPIs under the NDIA’s Participant Service Guarantee and Participant Service Charter.

  • Through their review and analysis work, the PM&Q Branch plays a key role in delivering a financially sustainable Scheme under the Agency’s Corporate Plan 2020 — 2025.

  • By combining their review work with a learning and development approach, and by giving you a dedicated contact point, the PM&Q Branch is working to uplift NDIA frontline capabilities while enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of processes and systems.

Tactical — for PED Staff

  • Following a recent restructure, the Performance Management and Quality (PM&Q) Branch has been refocused to make better use of insights from our assurance activities and data analysis, before helping you embed key learnings across your wider team through learning and development.

  • NDIA staff can now access a complete, end-to-end service offering of review, analysis, insights and education from the PM&Q Branch.

  • The PM&Q Branch uses an account management model — which means you will have a single point of contact within the PM&Q Branch who will be your go-to person throughout the end-to-end process.

Page 126 of 190

Communications and Engagement Schedule

As PED staff, you can reach out to the PM&Q Branch if you:

  • Notice you’re not always hitting your team’s KPIs and want to figure out why.
  • Want to improve your team’s performance by understanding root cause impacts.
  • Come across any unforeseen cost pressures or gaps.
  • Want to help your team transition to an improved process or way of working — such as to deliver on a KPI or implement an improvement suggested during a deep dive review.

PM&Q will tailor their learning and development program to your team, to make sure you have the best chance of using key learnings to deliver a quality experience and outcomes for participants.

By accessing PM&Q’s services, you will be taking an important step toward enhancing the way you service participants.

Send a request to redacted: s22(1)(a)(ii) - irrelevant — your request will be assigned to a dedicated account manager who supports your business area.

pm&Q may also get in touch to conduct a proactive service delivery review and help you identify opportunities for process improvement.

Tactical — for PITCs

As Partners in the Community (PITCs), you play a key role in delivering a quality participant experience and the Performance Management and Quality (PM&Q) Branch will continue to support you.

As PITCs, you will still receive the review, analysis and insights services provided by the PM&Q Branch.

The PM&Q Branch will continue to review your partner plans and give you the advice and support you need to maintain good practice processes and systems.

CI Connect Update [SEC=OFFICIAL]

Dear State and Branch Managers,

As CI Connect rolls out around the country in May, the Performance Learning and Change team will be here to support you and your teams.

Community of Practice meetings

Performance Learning and Change will schedule the first round of the state-based community of practice meetings, which occur in week 4 of the CI Connect cycle. Invitations will be sent to CI Connect champions, Quality Account Managers, and leaders in your state, territory, or branch. Please forward the invitation to any additional staff you would like to participate in this community of practice. As the formal launch of CI Connect is 3 May 2021, the first community of practice meetings will be scheduled for the week commencing 24 May 2021.

CI Connect and Partners in the Community

As we move through the first CI Connect topic of reasonable and necessary written justifications, please remind your teams our Partners in the Community are not yet participating in CI Connect or in this topic. When reviewing a plan for approval, please ask your staff to consider conducting a Plan Alignment Meeting to support the preparation of a written justification as this may be more appropriate than simply returning the plan for amendment or correction.

More information is available on our Continuous Improvement Connect intranet page for all staff to view. You can also find this page under the Performance Management and Quality heading within the Service Delivery menu.

Please encourage your teams to explore the page to find out more about CI Connect, and join us on our Continuous Improvement Connect Yammer page to keep the discussion going.

We look forward to your feedback and engagement in the CI Connect program! Please feel free to reach out for any further detail or clarification.

Kind Regards,

Hi Team!

FOI 21/22-1299

Thanks, redacted for reaching out this afternoon to discuss the next steps for CI Connect for Partners. Below is a lot of information regarding the CI Connect Pilot and Launch, and I have attached a word document with detailed information about the pilot and launch.

To summaries the highlights from the attached document.

PILOT INFORMATION

  • Pilot Start Date: Monday 17 May 2021
  • Pilot Period: 3 weeks
  • Pilot Topic: Update Severity Indicators
  • Contributors: To be confirmed by Partner Performance Final pilot evaluation and insights will be shared with Partner Performance on Friday 11 June 2021.

Per redacted’s request, we intend to open the CI Connect Pilot to those LAC Partners who have delivered the highest completion rate of the R&N Setting the Standard program, with a limit of 6 contributors. The list below is all Partner Organisations who have delivered training to more than 50% of the staff enrolled into R&N Setting the Standard.

Please identify which LAC organisations you would like to contribute to the Partner Pilot by the COB 29 April 2021 to ensure sufficient time to liaise with Partner Organisations. Partners must nominate their teams to contribute to the pilot 7 May 2021.

  • PITC Carers - 93%
  • PITC Early Childhood Association - 88%
  • PITC Settlement Services International - 68%
  • PITC Kudos Services - 64%
  • PITC Lifestart - 63%
  • PITC Advanced Personnel Management - 61%
  • PITC Wanslea - 59%
  • PITC Social Futures 59%
  • PITC Each - 56%
  • PITC Intereach - 54%
  • PITC Cerebral Palsy Association - 54%

LAUNCH

* CI Connect will launch with Partner Organisations from Monday 5th July 2021.
* The CI Connect program and pilot will be highlighted at the Partner Learning and Change community of practice meeting Thursday 6 May 2021.
* Cascade messages will be shared at the Partner Learning and Change community of practice meeting Thursday 3 June 2021 and all artefacts to cascade messaging to staff within Partner Organisations will be shared at this time.
* Partner Organisation Information sessions about the CI Connect program will be available to each Partner Organisation after Thursday 3 June 2021 (prior to the end of the pilot evaluation period) and is recommended for Partner leadership teams.

As noted, there are a number of complexities to ensure a smooth and successful launch of CI Connect to our Partners. Some additional considerations to be workshopped are listed below. This list is by no means complete, and we will continue to add to this during the Pilot as we receive feedback. * Partners (both LAC and EC) will undertake the same CI Connect topics as NDIA staff o If not, L&D resourcing will need to be established within the next 4 weeks o Consideration of the model for EC Partners who have very different planning methods and assurance outcomes * CI Connect materials will include a Partner lens (particularly in solution-based questions) o Impacts of non-delegate approach to topics on Data Framework and prioritisation matrix recommendations * Partners will nominate two CI Connect Champions per Partner Organisation and/or state

 Either we auto-enrol all Partner staff into the LEAP modules, or lists of all LAC staff and their leaders will need to be provided by each Partner Organisation. To ensure auto-enrolment is complete, confirmed lists for enrolment will be required by COB Friday 18 June 2021.

I hope this information is helpful, however please feel free to reach out with any changes or clarification!

CI Connect rollout for PiTC [SEC=OFFICIAL]

Good morning all

Thanks for the update s22(1)(a)(i ) - irre as a Branch we are a pretty inclusive mob, so more than happy to drop a Partner Audit topic to accommodate the CI Connect rollout discussion.

Based on this my suggestion would be:

  • Review of the monthly National Partner Audit summary – particularly the improvement in data for ECEI Tier 2 audit questions. Document attached and please share with attendees.

  • Highlight a good news story – Overview of the impact of coaching and support of LCHS

  • Rollout of CI Connect – incl. pilot launch and update on the R&N training completion rates – this topic is well aligned to the discussion we are presently having with Partner organisations as we prepare them for the additional R&N audit questions from 1 May, with audit results to be included from June 21. We could certainly provide analysis of impacts on this CI topic post 1 July as a priority reporting item (obviously coupled with the coaching that my team provide the Partners).

What a wonderfully balanced view of the work being undertaken by our Branch. Regards s22(1)(a)(ii) - i

Hi s22(1)(a)(ii) - irrele ,

Thanks for the meeting this week to discuss further the rollout for CI Connect with Partners Nationally. I discussed this further with s22(1)(a)(ii) - irr yesterday and we agree to your point well made of the consideration of running a pilot with the LAC Partners before the launch of the 1st of July however can we please look at the Partners with the highest completion rates of the R & N Training to be considered for this please.

We also have our next Continuous Improvement meeting scheduled for the Wednesday 28th April (1:30pm – 3pm WST) and I’ve copied s22(1)(a)(i ) - irrelevant mate in to check to see as we have allocated 30m minutes to Partner Quality however wondered if we could consider providing an overview of the CI Connect Pilot Launch for our Partners and an update on the R & N Training within this timeslot in addition to an update from s22(1)(a)(ii) - i all within the 30 minutes.

Look forward to hearing from you both on Tuesday next week as I’ll be on leave tomorrow and with the public holiday for most States Monday.

Thanks again to you both for your support in our continuous improvement initiatives with our Partners Nationally.
