Roadmapping health and wellbeing in the UK rail industry

Page 2

These outputs distil large amounts of complex and interconnected data into a clear set of desired outcomes, action plans and success measures and indicators.

Benefits The benefit for the UK rail industry is a coordinated and highly proactive approach to improving health and wellbeing. RSSB is facilitating the implementation of the roadmap on behalf of the industry and, under the guidance of the policy group, will produce resources to support individual company activities. These include a dedicated area of the RSSB site on health and wellbeing, six policy booklets, a health and wellbeing assessment resource, and five research reports.

Plans for the roadmap’s five key strategic themes

Roadmapping is a powerful technique for planning an organisation’s capabilities to ensure they are developed to meet policy goals, or in the commercial sector, a company’s business objectives. It was pioneered by Motorola in the 1970s and today it is widely used to address a range of issues, from national research and development strategies to the identification of company-level opportunities and threats. No two roadmapping exercises are the same but they all share a similar approach – bringing together a group of experts into workshops and using graphical templates to help them visualise and develop strategies.

Why the IfM? The IfM is an international centre of roadmapping expertise. It has been researching and developing the application of roadmapping for many years and, through IfM ECS, it has worked with more than 250 public and private sectors organisations and policy-makers including: ABB, Airbus, BAE Systems, Caterpillar, Crown, Kazakhstan Government, Mars, Microsoft, Royal Mail, Society

of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, and the UK Knowledge Transfer Networks, Ministry of Defence and Department of Transport.

Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) Part of the University of Cambridge, the IfM brings together expertise in management, technology and policy to address the full range of industrial issues.

IfM Education and Consultancy Services (IfM ECS) IfM ECS is owned by the University of Cambridge. It transfers to industry and governments the new ideas developed by researchers at the IfM.

What is roadmapping? “We recognised that improving health and wellbeing across the rail industry had become a priority but that it would require a co-ordinated approach to succeed. The roadmapping process provided by IfM ECS enabled us to bring together large numbers of stakeholders to develop a shared vision and gain commitment to a clear action plan. A Health and Wellbeing policy group has now been set up to oversee the implementation process and to maintain communication with the key stakeholders.
