Lets start from the beginning:

What is Trust?
• To have confidence / hope
• To entrust
• To rely upon or place confidence in someone or something
• A belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest and effective
• Integrity
Trust
“…trust refers to one party's willingness to be vulnerable to another party based on the belief that the latter party is competent open, concerned and
reliable” (Kramer et al 1996)
Why do we need it?
• To believe
• To build relations
• To build credibility
• To share values and understanding
• To be content
• To know they care
Are we surprised when clients, contractors and we want it?
So why don’t clients “Trust”
• Previous bad experiences
• Previous breakdown of relations
• Hidden agendas identified
• Lack of honesty in operations
• Lack of honesty in sales
• Identifying problems, before the contractor does
• Identifying hidden problems that should have been raised
How can it be achieved? • Honesty
• Communication
• Consistency
• Openness
• Transparency
• The whole truth
• If in doubt, ask
• Be loyal
• Did I mention honesty?
Just Remember…….

Meaningful KPI’s?
• Now we have trust, let us create performance measures that:
• Create separation • Show we aren’t trusted • Penalise us at all levels when we make a mistake • Create sleepless nights • Force us to be “creative” in reaching targets
Why do we do it to ourselves?
• Create numerous KPI’s that become irrelevant
• Create KPI’s that are not easily understood at all levels
• Outsource all our services, to then employ an in-house team to monitor the monitor
• Create KPI’s that force contractors to take a hit on one, in favour of another
• Make them too complex, more data then needed
So what are they for?
• To manage performance - By the Contractor?
• To monitor performance – By the Client?
• To Identify potential areas of improvement – By the Client & Contractor?
• To ensure strategies are on the right path
• Highlight critical success AND failure points
What they are not for?
• A large stick
• A justification to keep “some” in-house teams
• An opportunity for a contractor to show how creative they can be by fudging the numbers
• A tick box exercise
• An opportunity to get rid of a contractor / contract
So what should they be?
• Measurable and actionable
• Critical to the success of the business and the facility
• Linked to the business strategies and goals
• Limited to 10
So what shouldn’t they be?
• Unclear
• Not measurable
• Unimportant
• Long winded / pointless
Now, lets start again…. • Be honest
• Work together
• Make it meaningful
• Communicate
• Don’t be drawn in by emotions
• Be realistic
• And follow through……

Setting the Scene
Image is reality
It is the result of our actions
If the image is false and our performance is good, it’s our fault for being bad communicators
If the image is true and reflects our bad performance, it’s our fault for being bad managers
Company image & reality - David Bernstein

Service Level Agreement
“Defines agreed expectations against which
service or supply is provided”
“An agreement between the service
provider and its customer quantifying the
minimum acceptable service to the
customer”
(Larch Consulting)
(Andrew Hiles -Service Level Agreements)
Paying for performance
1. Safelite windscreen installers used to be paid an
hourly wage. Their bosses believed that
performance pay would reduce “intrinsic
motivation”, and that “peer pressure” would avoid
mistakes which would have to be rectified
afterwards.
They plan to introduce a piecework rate – and
mistakes have to be rectified without pay.
What do they need before they can do this?
What happens to performance?
Freakonomics – Steven Levitt
Recent Contracts “The Contractor is to continually seek
innovation which will lead to cost reductions
for the Company. Where proposals are
implemented, the Contractor will receive 40%
of any savings achieved in Year 1”.
“Penalty for not producing Monthly Report,
including performance tracking against KPIs,
breakdowns of activity and cost, by site, by
region and by activity: £750”
Goodhart’s Law
“When a measure becomes a target, it
ceases to be good measure”.
Any observed statistical regularity will
tend to collapse once pressure is
placed upon it for control purposes
