Background and Concept
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Background
Public Service Management Self Assessment conducted – 2009
Highlighted needs in several areas linked to the corporate planning
process e.g.
– medium term plans,
– performance management/accountability of MDAs,
– establishment and personnel planning,
– individual performance management system (APER),
– training policy, training plans and resources allocated to manpower
development.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Corporate Planning
These needs can be best met in a holistic/logical process called
‘Corporate Planning’.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
What is Corporate Planning?
A process in which an organisation (e.g. business or Ministry)
analyses its objectives, priorities, strategies and environment in light
of its mandate; and determines how to organise and apply its
resources (human, financial etc.) to achieving objectives and
meeting service delivery standards / targets.
A Corporate Plan guides the management and staff in a cohesive
effort to carry out the organisation’s mandate. In the public sector a
Corporate plan will usually be produced by a ministry, agency or
other body.

Definition of Mandate
A Mandate can be defined as
– An official order or authorisation given to an MDA to act on behalf of
government,
– Power or authority to implement certain policies, functions or
programmes, and
– A document giving an official instruction or power given to deliver a
service
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Mandate Review
Clear unambiguous mandates are the starting point for all Corporate
planning activities.
Mandates define responsibilities for services and functions
BETWEEN Ministries and agencies.
Corporate Planning processes then determine HOW each Ministry
and Agency will deliver agreed services, targets and standards in
accordance with its mandate.
JSG has already embarked on a Mandate Review Exercise.

These are about:
– What do we do
– For whom do we do it
– How do we do it well
They are guided by Vision and Mission Statements
They are elaborated through Strategic Plans
What are Long Term Strategic Objectives?
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Vision: The guiding purpose and sense of direction that inspires
people. A Vision Statement is an aspirational description of what an
organisation would like to achieve in the mid to long term future. It is
intended to serve as a clear guide for choosing current and future
courses of action.
A Mission Statement is a brief written statement of the purpose of a
public (or private) organisation, ministry or department. Ideally, a
mission statement guides the actions of the organization, spells out
its overall goal, provides a sense of direction, and guides decision
making for all levels of management
Vision and Mission Statements
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Vision
A vision statement answers the question
“Where do we want to go?”
or
“Who do we want to be?
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Elements of a Vision Statement
Clear, short and without ambiguity
Memorable with engaging wording
Realistic in terms of aspirations
Expressed in ‘outcome’ or ‘being’ terms rather than ‘doing’ terms.
www.sparc-nigeria.com

Set the global standard in financial and economic leadership.

picture of the organization’s future. The Department strives to maintain
public trust and confidence in U.S. and international economic and
financial systems while building on exemplary leadership, best-in-class
processes, and a culture that is characteristic of excellence, integrity, and
teamwork to achieve its goals on behalf of the American people.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Elements of a Mission Statement
A Mission statement often contains the following:
– Purpose and aim of the organization
– The organization's primary stakeholders: clients, etc.
– Responsibilities of the organization towards these stakeholders
– Products and services offered
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Other points on Mission
The most popular form is that provided by the boss. This may be
quick but it shuts out everyone else. Mission developed by a senior
management team takes longer but is more powerful. Mission
defined by the whole organisation is rare and takes a lot of time to
develop.
Whoever sets it, Mission is about aspiration and values within the
organisation. Sharing the process of setting these goals, values and
aspirations helps greatly in developing and effective organisational
team. People in the organisation should also see their needs and
wants represented.

Statement

What are Medium Term Objectives
Essentially these are policy based targets to be achieved within the
medium term (3 to 5 years)
These objectives/targets need to be REALISTIC and AFFORDABLE
in terms of the human and financial capacity of the implementing
agency. They should therefore relate to
– reasonably accurate data and statistics
– likely budgets available.

What is a Function and a Functional Review?
Function
– The special purpose or task of a public institution mandated to it by a
higher authority
– a duty particular to a particular post or a particular job.
Functional Review
A form of efficiency and effectiveness review that examines the
functions and structures of state agencies or budget entities and asks
whether the functions need to be done at all, whether other agencies
or actors could do them more efficiently or effectively, and what the
consequences are for structure.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Stages in a Functional Review
Identify list of current functions at department level and their
classification – service delivery, administrative etc;
Identify resource usage, cost and work volumes of current functions;
Look at Performance issues. Analyse how well the functions are
being carried out, including internal functions and the M&E of service
delivery;
Relate the functions to the current medium term objectives
– Which functions are still relevant,
– Which functions could be dropped, privatised or given to someone else,
– Which new functions should be added.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Stages in a Process Review
A ‘Process’ is a sequence of logically related activities, tasks or
procedures with a clear objective leading to an outcome/service. It
can cover a number of people in different departments. It is
independent of function. E.g. the accounts function do a credit check
on a new customer as part of the procurement process.
Identify important processes in the organisation – those with internal
and external clients or customers.
List the different actions and decision making points.
Identify actions or activities that can be streamlined etc. such that the
process is completed in fewer steps in a shorter time. E.g. examples
from work of SERVICOM.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Stages in a Structural Review
Analyse the current overall Ministry Structure in relation to delivering
on Medium Term Objectives and service delivery processes
Identify Departments, Units, Offices which
– Perform duplicated functions and may not be necessary
– Could sensibly be merged, split, lost or privatised
– Need to be created to take account of new functions
Develop a Revised Structure on basis of functional and process
reviews
At the end of the Functional and Structural Review, produce a new
list of all Departments and Units with their specific functions which
can deliver on the Departmental objectives and processes.

Establishment Planning
Definition of Establishment –
– The persons in ministries or departments etc. who make up a body for the
purpose of administering something.
– A listing of posts that have been created for a ministry, department,
agency etc to enable that organisation to fulfil its mandate.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Stages in Establishment Planning
List all posts in your existing structure with their grades, required
qualifications, experience level and competences.
Relate this list to the output from your function, process and
structural review. Some posts will now be redundant, new posts may
need to be created, the grade level of posts may need to be
changed.
Produce a new establishment plan based on the requirements of the
function, process and structure review.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Definitions of Job Analysis and Evaluation
Job Analysis
The process of assessing the characteristics, level of responsibility,
competences and experience required of a job.
Job Evaluation
The process of systematic comparison of jobs to assess their
relative value and assign the job to a grade which is in turn linked to
a salary scale.
www.sparc-nigeria.com
Job Analysis
Job analysis involves analysis of:
– The tasks that make up a job,
– The conditions under which they are performed
– What the job requires in terms of aptitudes, attitudes, knowledge, skills,
and the physical condition of the employee.
Job analysis should result in the preparation of a job description or
job schedule which includes a list of the tasks, or functions and
responsibilities of a position. Typically, it also includes to whom the
position reports, specifications such as the qualifications, experience
needed by the person in the job etc
