SPC Pilot Program on Corporate Governance and Balanced Scorecard Implemented by EPRC

• Developed and administered a CGRI.• Reviewed and commented on SOE corporate documentation• Developed a:

– DRAFT CG Code for Mongolian SOEs based on the OECD guidelines.– DRAFT CG Regulations for SOEs to be implemented by SPC

• Rules contain many inappropriate elements contrary to OECD Principles – Top down, rigid approach– Little room for exercise of discretion– Suggests static versus dynamic business environment– Diffuses accountability among SPC, SPC departments, BoD, GB, SB,

COPA and ministries• Impression…

– Prevents expeditious actions– Not reflect understanding of business motivations– Discourages creative thinking– Discourages constructive dissent

State Oversight of SOEs

Page 18: Corporate Leadership and Strategic Management Programs for Mongolian SOEs 4 TH ANNUAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FORUM Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by Dr. Demir Yener.

CG at Mongolian SOEs 18

• Impression…

– Discourages leadership

– Discourages ambitious persons from SOEs• Leaders have to develop their plan, adjust plan, not simply

implement plan determined by others

• “Leaders run to problems, not away”• Excessive liability—direct and third party in SOE rules--

discourages addressing problems

2. Other international corporate governance standards and research;

3. Mongolian Company Law;

4. Mongolian “Code of Corporate Governance” (2007).

Selecting the Specific Measurements in the CGRI

The selection of the specific measurements within each category was based upon four considerations: 1. the relevance of each variable to effective governance based on

internationally-recognized best practices of OECD in corporate governance;

2. actual legal requirements pertaining to corporate governance that now exist in Mongolia,

3. relevance to the SPC’s mission;

4. ease at both obtaining and evaluating compliance with the actual measure.

Balanced Scorecard Program for SOEs• The pilot project was intended to demonstrate how

effectively implemented balanced scorecard systems can help an organization in many ways:– Increase focus on strategy and results instead of tasks; – Break down uncoordinated communication between departments; – Better understand and react to customer/client needs; – Improve organizational performance by measuring what matters; – Make better decisions using leading performance indicators– Help leaders budget time and resources more effectively; – Help leaders and employees prioritize the work they do.

• Program was designed to translate high level organizational strategy into something that employees can understand and act upon in their daily operations and activities.

Overview of Performance Measurement Systems

• A performance measurement system enables an enterprise to plan, measure, and control its performance according to a pre-defined strategy. In short, it enables a business to achieve desired results and to create shareholder value.

• The major performance measurement systems in use today are profiled below (in order of global adoption) and include:– The Balanced Scorecard– Activity based costing– Economic value Added– Quality Management– Customer Value Analysis/Customer Relationship Management– Performance Prism

What is the Balanced Scorecard?

• The balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management system that is used extensively in business and industry, government, and nonprofit organizations worldwide.

• The tool is used to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organization performance against strategic goals.

CG at Mongolian SOEs 52

Balanced Scorecard Program: Outcomes• Senior managers developed capacity to implement the BSC

methodology• Developed a Corporate Strategy document plus draft strategic objectives

and strategy maps in each of their 4 major strategic areas. • Implementation teams developed BSC performance measures and

targets associated with the achievement of their strategic objectives.• A group of BSC ‘champions’ are capable of providing leadership in

designing and implementing the BSC methodology. • Companies developed a number of performance measures and initiatives• Companies will develop their BSC frameworks by June-July 2011 • The companies may require final assistance around this time (August

2011).

Concern: Participants expressed concern that their Board members or the SPC may not

support the implementation of the BSC methodology.

Page 53: Corporate Leadership and Strategic Management Programs for Mongolian SOEs 4 TH ANNUAL CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FORUM Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by Dr. Demir Yener.

CG at Mongolian SOEs 53

Balanced Scorecard Program: Recommendations

1. Hold a BSC training for SOE directors of the Boards

Conclusion• EPRC responded to the request by the GoM of design and implement the

Corporate Leadership and Strategic Management Development Program.• EPRC conducted CGRI survey among SOEs. Avg. score was 3.4 out of 5• Balanced Scorecard exercises were conducted at three pilot SOEs,

including: Central and Regional Electric Transmission Grid; UB Electric Distribution Co; and, Darhan Metallurgical Plant

• These three companies have developed their annual strategic plans with performance indicators to be submitted to the GoM, using the BSC tool.

• With the CGRI, SOEs will have a dashboard to manage their operations more efficiently, and SPC will be able to govern the SOEs more effectively.

• Finally, the exercise will help strengthen CG and strategic management by improving transparency; accountability; responsibility; and, fair and equitable treatment of all stakeholders.

• A set of recommendations for the need for sweeping reforms for reorganizing the SOEs is provided.
