Institutional Change
• Opening Discussion Exercise:
– Assume you are the chief of staff to the U.S. Commission on the Future of the Aerospace Industry. You want to make sure the Commission considers and hopefully adopts the recommendations in the report on “Building the 21st Century Aerospace Workforce.” You also want to ensure that the Commission takes the steps necessary to ensure that the recommendations are actually implemented. What would you do to make this happen?

Aerospace Mission and Vision
• Overall Mission for the Aerospace Industry:– Enabling the global movement of people and goods;– Enabling the global acquisition and dissemination of information and data;– Advancing national security interests; and– Providing a source of inspiration by pushing the boundaries of exploration and innovation
Source: Lean Enterprise Value: Insights from MIT’s Lean Aerospace Initiative (Palgrave / MacMillan, 2002)
• 21st Century Workforce Vision:– Attract and retain a 21st Century aerospace workforce with the skills, capabilities and commitment to enable transformation and success in the aerospace industry

Aerospace Strategic Challenges
• Knowledge and Capability– Demographic “cliff”– Gaps in “pipelines” – skilled apprenticeships and aerospace engineering programs– Changing skill mix requirements and new technologies– Fundamental changes in the nature of work and operations
• Competitive Challenges– Global competition and organizational instability– Institutional barriers, monuments and gaps in the “social infrastructure”– Declining investment in research and development– Divisive dynamics around job security, benefits and flexibility– Reduced attractiveness of careers in aerospace

Aerospace Institutional Opportunities• Aerospace Inter-Agency Task Force
– Spanning the Department of Defense, NASA, FAA, Departments of Labor, Education, Commerce and Homeland Security – to coordinate government aerospace workforce initiatives
• Aerospace Capability Network– Public/private partnerships spanning all key stakeholders—business,
labor, government, universities and community groups – Development of aerospace skill standards and certification programs – Public/Private R & D initiatives – Dissemination of information on occupations, job availability, high performance partnerships, and new work systems – Grants for demonstration projects at local and regional levels
• Industry Promotion and Development – Best practices in career development, employment relations, and life-long learning across the industry – National campaign on aerospace opportunities – primary schools, secondary schools, community colleges and universities

Public-Private Partnerships
Many Types of Strategic Partnerships:• Cross-Firm Partnerships
– Core Competency Business Models need Partners– Customer-Supplier Strategic Partnerships– Rapidly Changing Technology & Knowledge– Required for Global Market Access
• Cross-Institution (Public-Private Partnerships)– Increased Interdependence--problems require joint action of firms, community groups, government….
• Labor-Management Partnerships – Employees are key Source of Knowledge – Traditional Labor Relations no longer works….
Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 “Organizational Processes”
Key Assumptions
• Multiple stakeholders
• Common and competing interests– Need for mechanisms to identify and pursue common interests– Need for mechanisms to surface and address conflicting interests
• Interests/Contextual Conditions evolve– Need for periodic recalibration
Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 “Organizational Processes”

Public-Private Partnership Exercise
• Form into your industry groups
• Identify a public-private partnership that is likely to be essential to the effective implementation of your policy recommendations
• Assess the likely strengths and weaknesses of this partnership – with recommendations on how to build on the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses

Conceptual framework for Labor- Management Partnerships
• Basic Model of Change – Factors that unfreeze or motivate change – Implementing the change process – Diffusing and institutionalizing change • Changes must be consistent across three levels of activity—workplace, negotiations, strategic • Process will encounter periodic pivotal events • Substantive results must address bottom line interests & objectives of workforce and the employer

Strategic partnership case study: Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of
Kaiser Permanente Unions (CKPU)
– Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals in a business partnership with Permanente Medical Groups (PMGs)
• K-P serves 8.6 million members in 18 states with 80% in California
• Employment: 110,000 • Eligible for union membership: 92,032 • Covered by the labor-management partnership: 76,000
– Partnership coverage: • 8 international unions (largest is SEIU) • 26 local agreements • The California Nurses Association with 10,000 members in northern California is not a member, other unions are

Pivotal Events
• Confrontation Meeting in Dallas 1996 • Partnership Agreement 1997
– Key agreements: employment and income security, interest- based problem-solving, marketing union healthcare
• Clarification of Employment Security 1999 • SEIU Strike in Oregon 1999 • Agreement to Negotiate a National Agreement 1999 • Interest Based Process 2000
• Additional key “unfreezing” factors: – Strong union presence—avoidance not an option – Both parties dissatisfied with past – Credible union threat of escalation (corporate campaign) – Strong leadership with alternative vision
• David Lawrence & Peter diCicco – All the unions involved

2000 Negotiations
• Prerequisites: – Extensive training in concept and tools of IBN – Agreement that local market rates have weight – Local agreements would be extended without a common expiration date – Either side could opt out
• The Process: – Feb to Sept 2000 with almost 400 participants – Seven Bargaining Task Groups – Common Interest Committee (coordination role)
• The Agreement – Five year agreement – Ratified by 92%

Further pivotal events
• Outcomes of the 2000 Negotiations – Substantive terms
• A Joint Staffing Process • Reducing Errors and Improving Patient/Member Safety • Workforce Flexibility Principles • Work-Life Balance • Compensation • Medical Benefits • Issue Resolution and Corrective Action
– Confidence, converts to power of IBN and Partnership Principles
• Partnership Infrastructure—governance structures, training, joint funding, etc.
