Office refurbishment

On 13 December 2017, the State Services Commission completed a refit of its Wellington office space on Levels 10 and 11 of the Reserve Bank Building.

The refit is an investment in the Commission’s longer-term effectiveness and capability. The project was necessary to support a new, more collaborative and joined up operating model.

Six years ago the Commission moved from Molesworth Street to the Reserve Bank Building, 2 The Terrace. The Commission has since changed the way it works, which meant the previous office configuration was no longer fit-for-purpose.

The Commission also needs to accommodate project teams and large group meetings, for example Public Service chief executives, without having to hire external space.

The refit used standard procurement practices. All of the items – many of which were reused –are found in any government department or agency.

The cost, at $593 per square metre, was at the lower end for comparable public sector office fit outs.

Key points of the project:

• Fully flexible work space with no allocated desks, including for the State ServicesCommissioner

• Space is allocated for activity only, not on the basis of an individual’s job status

• 50% of floor space for collaborative working spaces

• Accommodating the same number of staff with a decrease in the number of desks from143 to 99, but with the capability for 250 working points.

The fit out was finished on time, under budget and with minimum disruption.

The total investment in construction and fit out was $960,000 at the time of this release. There was a further cost of $138,000 for project management fees and design and there may be some other minor costs to finalise the project.

Business Case – Workplace refurbishment Background The State Services Commission (SSC) is located on floors 10 and 11of the Reserve Bank building. Our workplace is designed to fit 120 staff plus space for contractors, all with assigned desks (143). We currently have three meeting rooms that can open into a large conference area, 12 meeting rooms that cater for between 4 and 8 people, 4 quiet rooms and meeting room for the Head of State Services. SSC’s work programme requires collaboration across the Public sector, the ability to share information easily and quickly with each other, and a work space that allows us to bring in teams from across the sector to form teams on cross sector issues.

A recent occupancy study has shown that we work is a very mobile way with 44% of desks being unoccupied in any one day. We also under utilise our meeting rooms, preferring to meet in other places or informally.

We want to design a workplace that suits our natural way of working, provides better value for money and provides us with the ability to be mobile and flexible.

Our lease at the reserve bank expires on 31 March 2018. On that basis we want to minimise structural changes and design a solution that can be portable to other premises if required.

As part of the WAP2 programme SSC was scheduled to move to 3 The Terrace in 2019. Subsequent to the 7.8 Earthquake on 14 November that programme has been impacted in terms of who has to move buildings, the number of buildings available and time frame that the programme can now be progressed against. SSC has asked for urgent advice on the impact for 3 The Terrace. The outcome of that advice will determine the extent of the structural changes we can justify. If we are operating on the basis we have 18 months we will minimise the structural changes, if we are operating on the basis we have 3 years then we can depreciate the structural changes over a longer period and therefore reduce cost. Following the earthquake, we have damage to the work space that requires repair. Internal walls, cabinets and meeting rooms all sustained damage. Total estimate to repair the current workspace is $17,000. Strategic case SSC leads the State sector to deliver great services for our nation. We lead, we serve. New Zealand has one of the most respected public administrations in the world, and we know that we need to work hard to retain this reputation. SSC leads the State services in setting ambitious goals for agencies and delivering improved results and services for New Zealanders. Our role is to support chief executives to work as a team and take collective responsibility for ensuring the system works well and with integrity – for today, and tomorrow. We aim to drive better public services through increased customer-focus and innovation. SSC is responsible for the design and capability of the State services. Our aim is to retain the strength of agency accountability while building stronger stewardship and alignment across the public sector. To this end SSC has developed a plan, owned jointly by the CEs of all public sector agencies, called Better Public Services 2 (BPS2).

The BPS2 plan is the driver for the change to our workspace. In order to deliver this plan SSC will require a workspace that allows for the following:

UNCLASSIFIED

• Ability to focus on issues not teams – breaking down professional siloes

• Developing a meritocracy

• Freer exchange of information and ideas

• More effective and efficient use of work space so we can accommodate virtual project teams

The proposed changes in the workplace are in line with both the Government Chief Information Officer’s (GCIO) strategy for IT and Government Property Group’s (GPG) strategy for work place effectiveness. Both strategies support unlimited (digital) access and connectivity; digital transformation and paper independence and reduction. As well as flexible work places that can organise around activities and work priorities instead of uniform work stations and teams. Economic case There are options available dependent on degree to which the strategic needs are met, risk assessment, and cost benefit. Options include:

1) Keeping the status quo and repairing the earthquake damage. Keep IT on the current replacement cycle. This option provides a safe working environment, but does not provide the flexibility required to complete the work programme effectively, or the variety of working environment to enable staff to work in their most productive way.

Economic Criteria Information Exchange

No No No No

2) Reduce paper based information, provide flexible desking, remove some internal walls

to increase informal meeting spaces.

This option provides existing staff the flexibility to work around activities rather than a uniform physical space, however the collaboration opportunities are minimal.

Option 3 and 4 meet the criteria for the strategic case. The cost benefit analysis will determine which option is the most desirable. Commercial The redesign of the work place will involve private providers. GPG and GCIO are in involved in the work place redevelopment and have the processes in place to support the commercial arrangements with designers, suppliers and IT providers. Templates and policies are in place to ensure all contractual arrangements are obtained and managed appropriately. Financial Please see appendix 1 for the detailed costings for this project: The level of investment will be determined by the lease situation after a decision has been received from GPG about the WAP2 programme. $1.9m is set aside in capital, with the associated opex for depreciation in 2019. Costing for furniture and IT based on the APO fitout has been undertaken. Total cost for the soft furnishing is approx. $500k. Assuming a similar amount for construction costs to change internal walls and the hubs, the total cost is likely to be $1m. A likely saving of $900k. There are saving associated with refurbishing the work space to meet SSC’s strategic needs in additional to the $900k saving:

• Removal of desk phones

• Avoidance of earthquake repair costs

• Avoidance the IT refresh costs for the next 3 years

• Increased productivity due to the more effective work place Management From a management perspective this project will transform the workplace from being a hygiene factor to a strategic asset. Staff will be provided with multiple options for their working environment, including the one option of a dedicated work station that is provided now. The following management benefits will be realised: • Employee well-being; a healthier and more sustainable workplace.

• Employee satisfaction; more effective, engaged and motivated people.

• Organisation flexibility; better collaboration, more efficient decision making.

• Work-life balance; improved work-life balance after implementation and transformation.

• Property cost saving; a cost effective workplace

Governance

ELT will approve budget, design and communications.

The steering group will monitor progress and make resourcing decisions within project scope and budget. The steering group will include GPG and GCIO to ensure we retain alignment with cross agency strategies.

A Project Manager is required to coordinate providers and to manage the project plan. To speed up the process someone internal to SSC with the appropriate skills would be ideal. Recommendations

• Get decision from GPG on WAP2 direction. • Approve Business Case • RFP for designers – underway • Consult with Landlord on changes and lease extension (time determined by WAP

decision) • Appoint project Manager and set up Governance

This opportunity in a nutshell What we need

SSC’s work programme requires collaboration across the Public sector, the ability to share information easily and quickly with each other, and a work space that allows us to bring in teams from across government to work on cross sector issues. We need design services to reconfigure our current workspace to better support this direction.

SSC is currently located on floors 10 and 11of the Reserve Bank building (~1830 sqm). Our workplace is designed to fit 120 staff plus space for contractors, all with assigned desks (143). We currently have three meeting rooms that can open into a large conference area, 12 meeting rooms that cater for between 4 and 8 people, 4 quiet rooms and meeting room for the Commissioner.

A recent occupancy study has shown that we work in a very mobile way with 44% of desks being unoccupied in any one day. We also under utilise our meeting rooms, preferring to meet in other places or informally.

We want to design a workplace that suits our natural way of working, provides better value for money and provides us with the ability to be mobile and flexible.

We want to minimise structural changes and design a solution that can be portable to other premises if required.

We are looking for a designer with the experience, capacity and capability to deliver a practical design to meet our needs.

What we don’t want

We don’t want a refreshed version of the status quo. We don’t need a full workplace strategy but we do need a supplier who can add value to our project through challenging our thinking, or providing ideas and innovations which will improve how we support our staff.

What’s important to us

It’s important that we receive Proposals from suppliers who have the capability, personnel and experience to provide innovative working environment solutions as well as critical and creative thinking to all phases of the design process. The Successful Respondent must be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of progressive workplace models that have responded to the strategic needs and desired work practices of an organisation.

Why should you bid?

SSC is the leader of State services. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the development of an innovative work place which will enable SSC to better carry out that role.

A bit about us SSC leads the State sector to deliver great services for our nation. We lead, we serve. New Zealand has one of the most respected public administrations in the world, and we know that we need to work hard to retain this reputation.

We create the environment for agencies to perform successfully and work with chief executives to help them deliver results that make a difference to the lives of New Zealanders. We also support their professional development and manage their performance and that of their agencies.

Page 3 of 19

Our aim is to lead a Public service that focuses effort on priority results that produce better outcomes and improved services for New Zealanders. These results are ones which cannot be achieved by a single agency. They require cross agency or whole of system work to achieve success, and will enable a transformation in how State services operates as a system. To this end SSC has facilitated a plan, owned jointly by the CEs of all public sector agencies, called Better Public Services 2 (BPS2).

To enable this work we have developed a workforce strategy that focuses on agility and flexibility. Our workplace is one of the key enablers to help that strategy be fulfilled.
