3. The Australian Government is proud to support the
Training on Strategic Planning, which was provided by
Australia Awards Philippines, to the Bangsamoro Ministry
of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR).
This was a milestone in Australia’s continued provision of
development assistance in Mindanao and, in particular,
the Bangsamoro region, for this was the first time that
Australia Awards Philippines delivered a learning and
development activity specifically for the MAFAR.
We recognize the important role that the ministry plays
in promoting the sustainable growth and development
of the region’s agriculture and fisheries sector, which is
very critical to the Bangsamoro economy.
This programme was designed to further develop the
competencies of MAFAR officials in strategic planning,
to assist the ministry in undertaking the very important
exercise of updating its strategic plan.
The provision of this programme was well in line with
our long history of support to the Philippines for
education and training and furthers this very rich aspect
of the Philippine-Australian bilateral relationship.
This guidebook, which was a product of a short course
on Strategic Planning for MAFAR-BARMM is a practical
reference that will guide Top Management to review and
create long-term plans.
We hope that it will further empower MAFAR’s officials
in meeting the ministry’s mandate while navigating the
challenges posed by post-pandemic recovery.
I also wish to congratulate all the participants for
completing the training programme and for their
contributions in developing this guidebook.
The Australian Government looks forward to working
even more closely with the MAFAR, the Bangsamoro
government, and the Philippine government in ensuring
that a sovereign, stable, and resilient Philippines quickly
returns to economic growth post-COVID–19.

4. Formulating, implementing and sustaining a strategic
plan are crucial steps to move organizations forward.
Guided by a Vision, Mission and Values, organizations
can enable the future by developing a plan that will
motivate and energise all its stakeholders to achieve
and accomplish articulated goals and targets.
Providing short courses has been one of our
significant undertakings at the Australia Awards and
Alumni Engagement Program-Philippines.
In addition, we assist in building the competencies of
selected organizations, such as training the officials
and technical staff of MAFAR-BARMM in reviewing
its current strategic plan to develop its new strategic
imperatives toward resilience in providing food
security in the region.
Anchored on its role in implementing strategic planning
reviews and programs, this Guidebook will help the
leaders in MAFAR-BARMM facilitate strategic planning
workshops within the sectors of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Agrarian Reform.
Not only will this Guidebook enable MAFAR-BARMM
to formulate strategic tools, it will also assist them in
implementing, monitoring and evaluating their goals,
strategies and targets regularly.
With MAFAR-BARMM’s commitment to continuously
review and improve its strategic direction to align with
the vision of BARMM, we shall attain our vision of a
brighter future for the Philippines, especially in the
Mindanao region, where MAFAR’s contribution can
make a difference.

making MAFAR improve its services and formulate a
better strategic planning direction.
Through the Short Course, the initiative of MAFAR
to develop its capacity to pursue the agency’s goal
to have socio-economically stable and globally
competitive farmers and fisherfolk was granted.
Message
from the Minister
of MAFAR-BARMM
From the formulation of concrete Strategic Plans,
Balanced Scorecards, and the Re-Entry Action Plan,
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the
Australian government for this initiative.

A SOAR analysis is a Strategic Planning tool that focuses
an organization on its current strengths and vision of the
future for developing its strategic goals.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is an organizational management activity
that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources,
strengthen operations, and ensure that employees and
other stakeholders are working toward common goals.
Organizational Vision
Describes the company’s purpose, what the company
is striving for, and what it wants to achieve,
communicating the organization’s values and
its commitment to achieving its goals.
Organizational Mission
A brief, broad statement about an organization’s
goals and how it intends to meet those goals.
It often addresses what the organization offers and
how it hopes to serve its customers, community,
employees, investors or other stakeholders.
Strategic Objectives
Purpose statements that help create an overall vision
and set goals and measurable steps for an organization
to help achieve a desired outcome. A strategic
objective is most effective when it is quantifiable either
by statistical results or observable data.

7. What is Strategic Planning?
Strategic planning is an organizational management activity
that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources,
strengthen operations, ensure that employees and other
stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish
agreement around intended outcomes/results, and assess and
adjust the organization’s direction in response to a changing
environment to shape the desired future.
It is a disciplined effort that produces fundamental decisions
and actions that shape and guide what an organization is,
who it serves, what it does, and why it does what it does, with a
focus on the future. Effective strategic planning articulates not
only where an organization is going and the actions needed to
make progress, but also how it will know if it is successful.
Strategic Planning helps ensure that the desired future (Vision)
is aligned with the reason for existence (Mission) of the
organization and its Values.
Strategic Planning also involves the identification of needed
action to communicate and cascade institutional plans and
strategies so that these can be operationalized in the
day-to-day activities of the entire organization.

What is a Strategic Plan?
A strategic plan is a document that communicates the
organization’s goals. It identifies key results areas where impact
will be assessed, and enumerates the outputs and outcomes to
be monitored, as well as the indicators by which these results
will be measured, the specific actions needed to achieve these
indicators, the timelines and resources needed to produce these
results, and the teams or individuals who are accountable for
these activities.
All these elements of a strategic plan are discussed and analyzed,
and are critical outputs of the strategic planning exercise.
Why Should Organizations
Embark on Strategic Planning?
Strategic planning is vital to an organization because it
provides a sense of direction and outlines measurable goals.
Strategic planning is a process that is useful for guiding the
overall directions of an organization and it is also useful for
guiding day-to-day decision-making.
It is a reference for tracking progress and changing strategies,
if necessary, to be able to continue moving forward.
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 8
10. The Vision Statement
A Strategic Planning process begins with a vision of the
organization’s desired future state or the end in mind of the
organization’s reason for being. The end in mind will direct
the organization toward a specific direction in the future,
which is captured in the Vision Statement.
The Vision is a futuristic picture of the organization and serves
as the guiding beacon, the North Star that grounds decision-
making and directions in an organization. A vision statement
focuses on tomorrow and what the organization ultimately
wants to become.
In the case of MAFAR, what is the agency’s vision of the kind
of organization that they want to see and where is the agency
relative to the future of the Bangsamoro community in five to
ten years from where they are right now?
A vision statement is meant to be a clear, vivid, definitive
statement of what an organization wants to accomplish,
and what the organization will look like once its mission is
accomplished.
The vision statement gives the organization a direction toward
the future, describing an end-state of the business and
emphasizes the organization’s overall purpose. The vision
statement is about what the organization wants to become
– it is meant to be aspirational.

Planning Process
Module 1: Revisiting Strategic Directions

Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 9
11. In the case of MAFAR, questions that can help guide the
crafting of its vision statements can include the following:
Vision Statement:
A Bangsamoro region of socio-economically stable,
resilient, and globally competitive farmers and fisherfolk.
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• Does the MAFAR Vision capture the essence of
what it wants to achieve in the future?
• Does it inspire MAFAR to achieve
its future desired state?
• Is the Vision ambitious but realistic?
A vision statement is future-oriented and tends to remain the
same for a significant period of time, thus helping provide
a sense of what the organization values among both those
inside the organization and outside of it. Oftentimes, a vision
statement is used for public relations purposes, because vision
statements aim to encapsulate the overall strategic goals for
the organization.
Every organizational step is curated to be contributing to
the effort in achieving the overall vision of the organization.
Because of its transcendent and directive nature, vision
statements are often written in the present tense, but still
serve the future of the organization.
What are our hopes and dreams for the agency?
What problem are we solving for the greater
good of the Bangsamoro community?
Who and what are we inspiring to change,
particularly in the agriculture, fisheries, and
agrarian reform sectors in the BARMM?
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 10
12. The Mission Statement
The mission statement drives the organization. It outlines both
what you do and what comprises the core of the business, and
from this, objectives are made clear, followed finally by what
it takes to reach those objectives. A strong mission statement
is one that motivates a team to consistently advance toward a
common goal.
Questions that guide mission statements include:
Mission Statement:
To empower farming and fishing communities
by ensuring equitable access to quality services
and optimum economic benefits.
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• Does the MAFAR Mission Statement
capture the reason for existence?
• Does it declare commitments to MAFAR’s
internal and external stakeholders?
What do we do?
Who do we serve?
How do we
serve them?
Mission statements establish a framework for the behavior of
those working in the organization, often starting with declarations
such as, “We provide…”, “We offer…”, or “We are a…”
Because of their reference to the everyday activities of the
organization, mission statements can often be used as a basis
for performance standards, and can guide members of the
organization at various levels in their decision-making.
Stemming from the articulated and agreed Vision, a Mission
Statement must also be articulated, one that focuses on today
and what an organization does to achieve it.

13. The Strategic
Planning Journey
VMO
• Assessing and validating the current
Vision and Mission statements
• Reviewing current reality
(internal and external environments:

Putting together all the key components of the Strategic
Planning process, the term VMO-KRAPI-PATRES, which
stands for Vision, Mission, Objectives, Key Result Areas,
Performance Indicators, Programs, Activities and
Resources, can be used as a reference to guide the team
in this critical organizational exercise.
Let’s Get Started!
The Strategic Planning Journey is illustrated below:
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 12
14. Scenario Building Exercise
A very powerful tool to examine the current Vision,
Mission and Values of the organization is the use of
Scenario Building Exercises.
What is Scenario building in Strategic Planning?
It
can be described as a story which is based on the
analysis and understanding of current and historic
trends and events. It includes a consistent description
of possible future situations. The development of sets
of narrative scenarios helps to identify possible
pathways toward a vision of the future.
It is 2030, and the Chief Minister has requested
the MAFAR-BARMM Minister to visit the
regional headquarters in Cotabato City and
talk about the successes of the Ministry in
achieving its targets and contributing
significantly to the achievements of
BARMM in improving the quality of life
of the Bangsamoro communities.
The Minister has asked your team
to help him prepare a report.
What would you put in the Minister’s report?
Scenario 1: Success

15. Scenario 3: Status Quo
Scenario 2: Failure of Execution
It is 2030, and the Chief Minister has requested
the MAFAR-BARMM Minister to visit the
regional headquarters in Cotabato City and
explain the poor performance of the Ministry,
including the Ministry’s failure to achieve
its targets and its lack of contribution
to BARMM’s vision of improving the quality
of life of the Bangsamoro communities.
The Minister has asked your team
to help him prepare a report.
What would you put in the Minister’s report?
It is 2030, and the Chief Minister has
requested the MAFAR-BARMM Minister
to visit the regional headquarters in
Cotabato City and discuss why the Ministry has
remained where it was in 2021, essentially
just performing at the same level over the last
ten years and contributing to the status quo
in terms of the quality of life
of the Bangsamoro communities.

The above scenarios enabled the participants to reflect and
process their insights on the following:
• What contributed to the Success of the Organization?
• What accounted for its Failure?
• What contributed to the Status Quo?
The stories of historical trends and data were analyzed
vis-à-vis the current Vision/Mission Statements of the
Organization. These were used to challenge the current
Vision/Mission Values of MAFAR.
After agreeing on the Vision/Mission and Values of MAFAR,
an Internal Scanning Tool was used to analyze its Strengths,
Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results (SOAR).

Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 15
17. SOAR vs. SWOT
This tool differs from the commonly used SWOT (Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis. SOAR
engages all levels and functional areas of an organization,
while SWOT is typically a top-down approach. With SOAR, the
focus is on the organization and enhancing what is currently
done well, rather than concentrating on perceived threats
and/or weaknesses.
When conducting a SOAR analysis,
the basic questions to be answered are:
• What are our greatest strengths?
• What are our best opportunities?
• What is our preferred future?
• What are the measurable results that will tell us
we have achieved our vision of the future?
• Action
• Focusing on strengths
• Being the best
(from good to great)
• Innovation
• Engagement on all levels
• Planning-implementation
• Attention to results
• Planting seeds
• Achieving the good
• Analysis
• Focusing on weaknesses
and threats
• Beating the competition
(just be better)
• Incremental improvement
• Top-down
• Attention to gaps
• Pulling weeds
• Avoiding error

The following are the Powerful Questions to ask
when going through the SOAR Model Analysis.
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 17
19. Assessing Internal Reality
To aid the SOAR Analysis, there is a need to do Internal
Scanning of the organizational environment.
Internal Scanning: Inventory of MAFAR’s Strengths
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• What are the factors influencing our “reason for being”?
• What has been our contribution to BARMM’s
development efforts?
• How can we continue to be relevant in this effort?
• What is our unique added value as a Ministry?
Analysis of Organizational Capacities and Challenges
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• What are the success factors that are critical to our
performance and contribution to agriculture, fisheries,
and agrarian reform in BARMM?
• What factors threaten or diminish our core and unique
value-added contributions to BARMM?
Strategic Issues and Directions
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• From the discussions yesterday, what are our emerging
strengths and opportunities?
• From the outputs in previous conversations, what must
we watch out for in terms of threats and challenges,
both internal and external?
Strategic Objectives and Actions
QUESTIONS TO ASK:
• What are key elements of strategies that we must adopt
for the next 3-5 years?
• What do we need to do to ensure the execution of these
strategies?
Assessing External Reality
Aside from internal scanning, the organization likewise needs
to conduct an external scanning of its environment to help
determine factors that affect its existence and operations.
Elements of the external scanning exercise can include analysis
of the political, economic, social, technological, legal, and
environmental dimensions of the communities where MAFAR
operates.
Aside from major political (e.g., extension of the BTA) and
economic factors (e.g., means of production, market forces),
MAFAR should also take into consideration the impacts of the
ongoing pandemic (e.g., public health issues) as a critical factor
in its external environment.
Now that the environmental scanning of MAFAR’s Strengths,
Organizational Capacities and Challenges, Issues and
Directions, as well as Objectives and Actions were analyzed,
the next step is to craft the Strategy Map.

Determining Strategic
Goals and Objectives
With the Vision, Mission, and Values as the primary elements
of the Strategic Map, the Impact, Goals, Core and Support
Elements must be identified.
• Impact and Goals must be consistent and aligned with
the Vision, Mission and Values of MAFAR; these must be
measurable and must include and specify performance
outcomes for MAFAR
• Support and Core Process are determined by the Outputs
using Lead Measures to measure results in the short-term
• Support and Core Processes are processes that should
support the achievement of the Impact and Goals
As an example, the Scorecard below show that “Impact” and
“Goals” are targets that are long-term in nature.
The “Core Processes” and “Support” targets in
this example are more immediate in nature:
It is very important to note that the Impact, Goals, Core
Processes, and Support are interconnected and interrelated to
one another, as illustrated in the Strategy Map on the next page.

24. This process ensures that the Strategy Maps will be translated
into more detailed aspects of Execution. More specifically,
the action plan must capture the following:
• Key Result Areas – the targets or
general outcome areas that the
organization wants to influence
• Performance Indicators – the
measures or evidences that will
indicate that the targets defined
as Key Result Areas are achieved
• Programs – the package of projects
that can be designed, developed,
and implemented to achieve the
Performance Indicators
• Activities – the set of activities
comprising the identified Programs
that are to be implemented on a
day-to-day basis
• Timelines – the amount of time
needed to execute the programs
and activities
• Resources – human, financial,
and other inputs that are needed
for the operationalization of the
programs and activities

25. Context in addressing GEDSI
National laws and Policies: For Gender Equality
• The Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710) is the Philippines’
key gender equality law which sets out the government’s
responsibilities with regard to gender equality.
• The Philippines Plan for Gender Responsive Development
envisions a society that promotes gender equality and
women’s empowerment, and upholds human rights,
among others.
• The General Appropriations Act (GAA) requires all
departments, bureaus, offices and agencies to set
aside at least five per cent of their appropriations for
gender specific projects. The GAA also requires the
development of disability programs and allocates
for improvements to make all government facilities
accessible to persons with disability.
National laws and Policies: For Persons with Disabilities
• The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons (RA 7277), (RA
9442), and related laws
• BOL, development plans
• Peace Process (Normalization)
What is Gender Equality?
Refers to the principle asserting the equality of men and
women and their right to enjoy equal conditions realizing their
full human potentials to contribute to and benefit from the
results of development, and with the State recognizing that all
human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights.
Principle of substantive equality - full and equal enjoyment
of rights and freedoms; encompasses de jure and de facto
equality and also equality in outcomes.
Source: RA 9710
Who are Persons with disabilities?
include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual
or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various
barriers, may hinder their full and effective participation in
society on an equal basis with others.

What is social inclusion?
The process of improving the terms for individuals and
groups to take part in society, or the process of improving
the ability, opportunity, and dignity of people, especially the
disadvantaged, to take part in society.

The Principle of Inclusion
Means that people have the resources, opportunities and
capabilities they need to:
• Learn (participate in education and training);
• Work (participate in employment, unpaid or voluntary
work including family and career responsibilities);
• Engage (connect with people, use local services and
participate in local, cultural, civic and recreational
activities); and
• Have a voice (influence decisions that affect them)

Mainstreaming GEDSI
A strategy for considering and addressing the different needs,
perspectives and experiences of women, men, persons with
disabilities, different ethnicities and other socially excluded
people in all aspects of program and policy assessment, design,
implementation and evaluation.
Steps in Mainstreaming GEDSI
1. GEDSI Situational Analysis
• Surface the differential situation of men, women,
persons with disabilities, and ethnic minorities in terms
of access to resources, opportunities and participation
• Where are they? What roles do they play?
• Analyze the differential impact of programs or project
interventions to men, women, persons with disabilities,
ethnicities and other categories
• What is the impact of the
programs on them?
2. Identify Entry Points
• People
• Policies
• Programs and Projects
• Enabling Mechanisms
Interventions can be done within the organization and through
programs
and services where GEDSI should be identified and spelled-out.

To respond as VUCA-PRIME, organizations must become
learning organizations.
What is a Learning Organization?
A Learning Organization is an organization made up
of employees skilled at CREATING, ACQUIRING, AND
TRANSFERRING KNOWLEDGE. These people could help their
firms cultivate TOLERANCE, foster OPEN DISCUSSION, and
THINK HOLISTICALLY AND SYSTEMICALLY. Such learning
organizations would be able to adapt to the unpredictable
more quickly than their competitors could.
The execution of the Strategy Maps and VMOKRAPI-PATRES
would need Top Management to lead the change. A Leading
Change Framework that can be used is the 8-Step Kotter’s
Framework.
John Kotter, a professor at Harvard Business School,
introduced the 8-Step Model on Leading Change. Anchored on
the work of Kurt Lewin, the 8-step model sets out steps for the
change process to succeed.
Systems Thinking needs to be a competency to allow
members of an organization to look at the interrelatedness and
interconnectedness of the Strategy Maps and the VMOKRAPI-
PATRES being crafted – making sure that the decisions made
today will not have adverse results in the future.
THE KOTTER FRAMEWORK:
8 STEPS FOR LEADING CHANGE
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 27
29. Step 1: Establish a Sense of Urgency
Change initiatives must come from the Top.
The idea of a change being necessary for the success of an
organization can be powerful. One way to create the sense of
urgency is to create a forum that aims to discuss the current
realities and challenges, as well as the potential solutions
among the different stakeholders in the change process.
This emphasizes that it is important to engage stakeholders
and be prepared well before jumping into the change process.
This step creates an environment where Stakeholders see the
“need” to change, rather than just the “want” to change.
This process is critical to getting support from all the
Stakeholders and will make a lot of difference in the
change process.
Step 2: Create a Guiding Coalition
After establishing the sense of urgency among the
stakeholders, the next step is to identify team members that
can collaborate and complement one another in making the
change process successful. The coalition is recommended
to be people with different perspectives and experiences to
maximize its effectiveness.
Step 3: Develop a Vision and Strategy
More often than not, the change initiative will be very complex,
complicated and hard to grapple with, especially for employees
in the lower hierarchy of the organization and may be, to some
extent, external stakeholders. Anchoring the change initiative
into a compelling vision will create energy and focus toward
the change that the organization is co-creating.
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 28
30. Step 4: Communicate the Change Vision
Once a compelling vision is created, there is a need to
generate support for it by communicating to everyone in the
organization. The guiding coalition formed in step 2 would be a
great messenger of the Change Vision.
Step 5: Empower broad-based actions
Identifying obstacles that are blocking the change initiatives
will be a critical path to success. There is a need to identify
resources to break them down, and address them, without
disrupting the other areas involved in the change process.
Step 6: Generate Short-Term Wins
While creating change may be a long process, it will be good
to identify gains in the process by rewarding short-term wins.
The reward system can motivate and re-energize those who
are involved in the change process. Celebrating milestones and
short-term wins will be a great intervention to continuously
energize the entire team throughout the long change process.
Step 7: Consolidate Gains
Complacency may get in the
way of the change processes
leading to failure toward the
tail-end of the project.
It is recommended to keep
setting goals and analyzing
what can be done differently
to achieve the desired
lasting effect.

Step 8: Anchor the Changes in the Culture
It is important to continuously renew mindsets, strengthen
hearts by embracing them and energizing the will to deliver
and sustain change in the organization. Instilling the new
culture changes such as putting in some structures to make
these changes institutionalized will have a lasting effect.
Keeping top management onboard, continuing to co-create
possible solutions and encouraging all employees and
stakeholders to continue cementing the changes will ensure
success in the change process.
Kotter outlines the 8-steps to emphasize that change is not an
easy process. Many steps of planning are required and even
when the change has been implemented there is still a lot to
do to ensure it is successful.
Change can be planned. Subcribing to the 8-steps will ensure
success in the installation of the change initiatives that are
sustainable.
DICE: The Hard Side of Change
One way to measure success in the change initiative is to use
the DICE Model. To see whether or not a change effort will
succeed or fail, it is recommended that the DICE Score be
measured at the start of a change implementation process.
Ideally, if you want the change effort to succeed, your
organization score should be in the “Win” zone. It is important
to genuinely reflect on the score because this is your baseline
of knowing whether you will succeed or not.
WIN!
WORRY
WOE
What
your
Scores
Mean
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 30
32. DICE
(C) Commitment
Senior Management Commitment
• Do Senior Managers regularly communicate the reason
for the change and the importance of its success?
• Is the message convincing?
• Is the message consistent, both across the top
management team and over time?
• Has top management devoted enough resources
to the change program?
Employee Commitment
• Do the employees most affected by the change
understand the reason for it and believe it is worthwhile?
• Are they enthusiastic and supportive
or worried and obstructive?
(E) Effort
• What is the percentage of increased effort that
employees must make to implement the change effort?
• Does the incremental effort come up on top of
a heavy workload?
• Have people strongly resisted the increased
demands on them?
• Should we get additional manning to complement or
automate our processes in order to ensure the change
process happens?
Duration + Integrity + Commitment + Effort
If you happen to be in the Worry or Woe zone, don’t panic!
This DICE Formula will give you the indicators on where your
organization needs to improve on.
Questions to Consider
(D)uration
• Is it about ensuring that the Strategy Map is reviewed
more often than what’s happening now?
• Do formal project reviews occur regularly?
• If the project takes more than two months to complete,
what is the average time between reviews?
(I)ntegrity
• Is the team leader capable?
• How strong are Team Members’ skills and motivations?
• Do they have sufficient time to spend
in the change initiative?
Guidebook on Strategic Planning: MAFAR BARMM 31
33. Institutionalizing the
Strategic Planning Process
1. Develop a Monitoring and Evaluation System
A Monitoring and Evaluation System should be set up at the
onset to strengthen the implementation of the strategic plans.
This Monitoring and Evaluation system will track the progress
of implementation of all the Measures identified in the
scorecard. A monthly operational review must always see to it
that part of the agenda is the progress of the scorecards.
This monthly review will be able to produce timely
adjustments and corrective actions to the goals and targets
stated in the scorecard.
2. Align the Strategic Plan with the Overall Ministry
down to the Individual Scorecards
Structure influences behavior. The structure that can be put in
place to get surefire implementation of the strategic plans is to
make sure that there is a clear line of sight link to the Overall
Ministry Targets, down to the individual scorecards, through a
Performance Management System.
3. Cascading of the Strategic Plans
To ensure understanding of the Ministry targets, a cascading
activity must be done at the start of the performance period.
During the cascading of the
overall-ministry scorecard,
targets down into the
sector, units and individual
levels must be agreed
and communicated across the
organization.
A coaching and mentoring session among the immediate
superior and the employees must be done to ensure that the
individual contributions are achieved up to the Ministry level.
