00:00.8
00:03.5
The NRDD reorganisation will enable us to become more flexible.
00:03.6
00:07.6
National engineering teams, together with regional Delivery Hubs here and there
00:07.7
00:15.8
and a bigger group of specialist teams will facilitate the delivery of projects at national level.
00:16.3
00:21.3
So this will be something new, something never tried...?
00:24.6
00:25.7
Mein Führer...
00:30.6
00:34.0
We are reverting back to the old IDG model!
00:34.1
00:36.7
Each discipline... will do their own thing!
00:52.9
00:59.2
All Band 1s, stay here. Everyone else leave.
01:10.8
01:14.7
How are we going to allocate resources now?
01:14.8
01:17.6
How are engineers going to collaborate?
01:18.3
01:25.0
We are now being asked to do PE roles too, who is going to undertake them?
01:26.2
01:34.3
SDG, EPDG, BCDG, CEMs from Glasgow trying to secure resources from Swindon?
01:34.4
01:40.2
And everything managed by a very small team of PMO and Engineering Managers, how is this going to work?
01:40.3
01:42.5
Mein Führer, the PMs have been put at risk and are taking VS!
01:42.6
01:46.2
Who the hell thought that would be a good idea? Who will be there to speak with the Clients, myself?
01:46.3
01:48.3
Mein Führer, you told us to accept their VS applications!
01:48.4
01:53.2
And the milestones... who is going to make sure we hit all our milestones?
01:53.3
02:04.0
Are you going to continue issuing WIP drawings to make the numbers look green?
02:04.1
02:08.9
And what about the DSF? Are you also telling me we cannot get the consultants to help us?
02:09.0
02:13.8
They are the same guys who used to work for us 6 months ago! By how much have their rates increased?
02:13.9
02:18.7
Design Engineers across the road charging us 90 quid an hour for doing the same! This was supposed to be an efficiency!
02:18.8
02:22.5
And on top of that we cannot recruit!
02:27.2
02:34.5
If at least we could have some advantages of the old IDG days and not use ProjectWise! Use the V drive!
02:34.6
02:38.0
Or HDMS! Do you know how much I miss HDMS?
02:39.5
02:47.1
And those specialist teams... How are we going to get them to collaborate properly? The poor guys may have their line managers 600 miles away!
02:48.2
02:53.8
There will be even more changes to the QMS. With more targets of at least one Design Close Call per year!
02:53.9
02:55.0
Has anyone here ever raised a DCC?
02:55.3
02:59.4
What new processes are we going to come up with now?
02:59.5
03:03.5
Have I already told you how much I hate ProjectWise?
03:04.3
03:08.2
Don't worry, we'll get the Client to arrange some ProjectWise training for us!
03:14.4
03:23.0
Network Rail is cyclical... we'll get regionalised again...
03:31.8
03:33.3
IDG is back.
03:40.1
03:49.8
And you know what's the best part? Next year we'll probably go through the same process again with GBR.
03:54.0
03:55.1
Long live the internal Design Group.
