This impact-venture is delivered by Firstfruits Services.
Firstfruits are a change management consultancy that have been a part of the aviation industry serving organisations such as CANSO, IATA and companies in Europe, North America, Middle East and Asia. Their expertise in change enables their services to be applied across multiple industries.
Firstfruits are purpose-driven and use their advantage of cross sector learnings to drive sustainable change. NGI is the latest venture created to be part of the solution to the global challenge of aviation sustainability.
New applications of AI are changing the way we design and manage our operations. Start-ups are aiming to develop complex optimisation and problem-solving tools, including in airport operations, fleet management and Air Traffic Control.
Aircraft were essentially the same from 1970 - 2015. But the last 10 years have seen exciting and innovative challengers – for example Boom Supersonic, eVTOL and drones. Electric, hybrid and hydrogen powered engines are researched and deployed, pressing to solve the sustainability challenge facing aviation.
Digital innovation and new open architecture are paving the way for advances in industry-wide data management and applications. Talent with expertise in real-time performance improvement, automation and data-driven change is increasingly valued.
Driven by safety and cost effectiveness, AR is being introduced in areas such as remote towers and pilot training. London City Airport visual ATC is provided by controllers sitting 200 miles away. New skills, agile development and enquiring minds are being sought.
UNCOVERING ISSUES: An airline subscribes to NexGen Insights, surveys 5000 staff globally, with data collected and analysed within 1 month. The deep dive identifies a clear issue with trust in management amongst GenZ across the organisation. Messages and vision-setting are being given by management but are not being heard or engaged with.
IMPACT: Suggestions are made by GenZ within the assessment, and workshops held. From this, two clear changes are made – increased town hall meetings, and an online chat area to engage the newer employees on some specific issues. With its NGI subscription, the airline runs the assessment again 6 months later and identifies the impact of the changes, seeing a clear improvement in trust amongst GenZ.
UNCOVERING ISSUES: An ANSP subscribes to NexGen Insights and runs the survey across 3000 people. Positives are identified. The ANSP uses some of the data to benchmark itself against peers who have also run NGI.
IMPACT: Data and analysis into public sector compensation and satisfaction is used for discussions within government, giving better comparators against aviation peers and more effective decision making supporting the sustainability of the company.
UNCOVERING ISSUES: An airport wants to set up an insights engine into GenZ attraction and retention. It uses NGI to survey the GenZ workforce twice annually, identifying trends and clarifying causal factors. Specific personality types are shown to struggle at the airport, particularly amongst workers (non-management), linked to their feeling of support and inclusion.
IMPACT: A series of actions are identified to address the situation, based on best practice in other airports and benchmarked effectiveness. These are implemented and evaluated over time, with the airport aiming to continuously improve in this area.
