Shared Services – Implementation
1. Introduction
Normandy Mining Limited (NML) has conducted a feasibility study for the implementation of
shared services and Executive support the implementation of shared services bases on the results of
the study and the model proposed by the Shared Services Team. Executive however require a
number of milestone checks to be incorporated in the implementation approach to ensure there are
regular reviews of the business benefits, risks and the costs incurred for implementation.
2. Understanding Your
Requirements
NML wants to improve the focus of support services from transaction processing to strategic
information and reduce the costs of processing transactions. Shared services will facilitate the focus
of financial personnel to change for them to add value and can be represented diagrammatically as
follows:

Managing Risk
65%

NML has already made significant progress towards a Shared Service Centre (SSC) including:
The commencement of the process of consolidating many accounting related functions into the
head office in Adelaide.
Some consolidation of HR administration has also occurred and a group supply function
established to achieve economies in purchasing.
The Executive Committee has appointed a process sponsor and taskforce with representation
from the key customer disciplines to oversee the process.
Selection of a Shared Services Project Manager and internal team.
It is our understanding, the shared service organisation will attempt to realise the following goals:
Be a corporate resource to significantly and permanently:
– lower operating costs through process efficiencies;
– lower capital costs through the sharing of infrastructure and technology;
– mprove the quality of support to be provided to the Normandy site operations, ensuring greater
accuracy and timeliness of services;
– provide best-in-class services to site operations;
– standardise processes to reduce errors and ensure policy compliance;
– restructure service delivery so it is modular and fits the nature of Normandy’s acquisition and
divestment program;
– improve recruitment profile; and
– develop a customer service culture.
Be a driver of culture change and process innovation, to ensure support processes add value to
the business and support Normandy’s “One Normandy” focus.
Achieve a ‘critical mass’ of scarce resources in a regional centre, to ensure that specialist
support services are properly managed, efficiently deployed and available when required.
Achieve ‘economies of scale’ through merging of similar processes from different operational
sites and ensure that they are standardised, repeatable and delivered to the highest quality.
Offer enhanced career development opportunities to NML’s operational site professionals, who will
move from support roles into the core business of the shared service organisation and enable site
professionals remaining to concentrate on value adding activities. This could include providing
commercial support and decision making assistance to the mine site General Managers and
Regional General Managers. This should include extracting various reports to monitor trends and
risks and the analysis of monthly results and preparation of narratives to support the monthly mine
summaries.
As some of these goals are potentially in conflict, the SSC must balance the objectives in an
integrated work environment.
3. Project Scope
3.1 Functions
Based on discussions held with NML, we understand that the purpose of this assignment is to
support the NML Team create an implementation plan and detailed designs for in-scope functions
and business units included in the first phase of the implementation. A key element of the approach
is to use a pilot mine site to ensure the solution is tested in an operating environment. This
approach offers NML a number of benefits including:
Reduces the risk associated with a ‘big bang’ approach.
Enables NML to achieve quick wins.
Ensures that NML has a tested solution before wide-spread implementation

4. Our Approach
There are a number of ways to approach the design and implementation of a SSC. One approach is
to bring processing into one or more locations before redesigning, another approach is to redesign
the processes and then migrate into one or more locations. NML has agreed internally to use the
later approach together with the development of a pilot site to ensure the solution is tested in an
operational environment.
Our approach to supporting NML is to provide experts in the critical stages of planning, design,
process testing and change management. This has been specifically developed to:
compliment NML’s approach and schedule;
transfer knowledge; by working with NML staff; and
enable NML to leverage off our extensive experience in studies of this nature in the resources
sector, as well as SSC.
In the following pages we provide details on each step, including the proposed role for NML and
the proposed role for CGEY. We see our role as providing quality assurance of outputs, assistance
in developing plans, design templates and access to our shared services and SAP knowledge
developed through numerous implementations.
Our role as proposed does not extend to providing resources for collection of data, site visits and
communication of key stakeholders outside the project team and the Steering Committee.
Significant progress toward this process has been made by NML and this
stage is expected to be completed within a week of commencement.
Roles: NML
Participate in a Project Chartering workshop to establish the goals and
develop a initial vision.
Establish the project environment.
Develop Project Charter and Detailed Project Plan.
Determine data required to commence design phase.
Deliverables: Project Charter and Plan including (but not limited to):
-Project Scope.
-Project Management Principles.
-Management Approval process.
-QA procedures.
-Issue and resolution procedures.
-Scope change requests.
-Detailed Project plan for first two months including project milestones and
summary plan thereafter.
-Resource Model with roles and responsibilities.
Data to be collected is defined for commencement of the design phase.
The shared services project will impact a large number of NML staff and has
the potential to be highly disruptive to normal business activities. Accordingly,
a comprehensive change management approach will be required for the
implementation to ensure all staff fully understand the reasons for the
change, the business and personal benefits to accrue and the process to be
undertaken. This may require:
written communications, briefing seminars / roadshows;
new environment demonstrations, training courses;
induction of team members; and
use of local site staff to assist and control local implementation activities.
It is suggested that the NML Team build on the information obtained from the
Shared Services Feasibility Study and leverage existing NML change
management practices and deliverables developed for the SAP
implementation projects.
Roles: NML
Lead the communication within NML.
Develop Change Management strategy for implementation, including
updates for weekly Corporate newsletter.

Shared Services Assignments.

budgets and project activities requiring authorisation to proceed.
Project Manager: will have day-to-day authority for approving project expenditure within
budgets and project activities requiring authorisation to proceed.
Administration support: Provision of administration support for the project manager and team
members to ensure prompt completion of project deliverables.
