At yesterdays resource i told my dom that we should set the bsi to 75 because we are un-incentivised workers and therefore we shouldnt be putting it above 75. He laughed quite a bit, then he told me something that i didnt expect.
It appears that i had gotten it wrong all along and the figure that i understood as the bsi figure in iwt is actually just a % OF the 75 bsi figure used as a standard. So for instance if the iwt says 100 what it actually means is we are running at the 75 standard likewise 110 would actually be about 80 bsi. What a silly bugger i felt i can tell you
I dont know what BSI figures at my place is; probably the same along with 90+% of us there...
All I know is that we are working at almost the max that we could as individuals - we might be able to improve the processes and a few could be doing more because of easier rounds but that is hard to achieve. with all rounds...
However, I am more curious about your comment on being 'un-incentivised' workers. What does that mean?
And what does this BSI figure mean for offices working at a very high level (and vice versa) when the new Incentive Scheme is brought in with the New Agreement?

It means we are not paid a bonus for achieving a higher productivity rate.
Places where a higher bsi is used are usually businesses where a bonus payment is paid on top of a basic salary.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Royal Mail's(Crozier) position is that we are 25% overpaid and 25% underworked compared to the competition therefore not only are we financially incentivised but we are seriously taking the piss.
