language, that goes to his heart.”

Continuous Improvement

Adapting to a changing energy environment…


Major Operational Changes from Current State

• OPPD joined integrated Marketplace on March 1, 2014

• Addition of wind generation since 2005

• Caused major change in the way OPPD ran base load plants

• Units not cycled much, cycled up and down

• Market called for base load units to go into reserve shutdown


Transitional State – Project Management

• Engineers anticipated changes on how units would run

• Completed capability tests on units:

Minimum load

Maximum load

Ramp rates

• Ensured adherence to market rules and guidelines

• Employees technically ready for changes


Transitional State Missing Link

• Employees were ready from a technical aspect, however something was missing

• Employees didn’t know why we were running the units differently


Influence Model – Mindset & Behavior Shift

“I see superiors, peers

and subordinates

behaving in a new way.”

ROLE MODELING

“I have the skills and

competencies to behave

in a new way.”

DEVELOPING TALENT & SKILLS

“The structures, processes and

systems reinforce the change in

behavior I am being asked to make.”

REINFORCING WITH

FORMAL MECHANISMS

“I know what is expected of me –

I agree with it, and it is

meaningful.”
