There will be fewer meetings, and more will be accom- plished because all of the stakeholders are at the table from the beginning. This should help increase union capacity to partner, as well as reduce backfill issues. We will know how well DBTs have performed by reviewing their performance on the metrics they have chosen, which will be aligned with the goals developed at the higher levels of the accountability structure in Recommendation 1. We would also expect to see improvements on People Pulse scores regarding influence over decisions, involve- ment in decisions, knowledge of department goals, and use of employees’ good ideas. Developing and implementing DBTs will incur costs, particularly for readiness training, described in more detail in our Recommendation 4, as well as release time and backfill. A key enabler of this recommendation should be the growing sense of urgency, even crisis, among many of us that unless we make Partnership real to front-line employees, supervisors and stewards in the very near future, we will lose the opportunity forever. There is an equally motivating sense of crisis in the health care market—make significant performance improvement now, or lose market share. At the same time, we are well positioned to implement DBTs at this juncture: we have a shared vision of a high performing Partnership, we are committed to engaging employees, and we have the resources in place to support the develop- ment of DBTs. We will have to overcome some barriers, including competing priorities and difficulty in measuring results across the program. We will have to work hard to overcome the project mentality that has taken hold of Partnership—it’s a separate, parallel, off-line activity, rather than the way we do business every day. There may also be some concern over the idea that partnering in the business means shifting supervisor work to the DBT members.
