Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 i
FOREWORD By the Honourable Minister The Ministry of Mines and Energy has progressively been employing strategic planning best practices since 1996 in an effort to achieve its strategic imperatives especially taking cognisance of the myriad of national developmental services that we render to a variety of stakeholders. The strategic framework of Vision 2030 has been a driving force behind our efforts to increase our overall effectiveness (doing the right things) and efficiency (doing the right things well, first time). The fundamental importance of the strategic planning process in achieving Vision 2030 was cemented when the Office of the Prime Minister instructed all O/M/A’s to develop strategic plans as the first step in the implementation of the Performance Management System (PMS) with the primary objective to improve on the overall performance of all O/M/A’s so that the Namibian Nation can achieve Vision 2030. The Ministry of Mines and Energy developed the five-year strategic plan (2007/8 – 2011/12) based on the officially approved Public Service of Namibia Strategic Planning Model as developed during the PMS design process pioneered by the Office of the Prime Minister. The Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan 2007/8 – 2011/12 was developed during a highly consultative process during 2006 when the management cadre with the support of relevant industry stakeholders completed a thorough Situational Analysis with a consequent Strategic Planning Workshop to define the Strategic Objectives, Performance Indicators, Targets, Strategic Initiatives and Financial Projections relevant to our Ministry. Our high level statements were also reviewed to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned towards the same vision, mission and values. Specific measurable strategic imperatives were developed for each directorate to ensure that the accumulated efforts of all directorates would result in the Ministry of Mines and Energy achieving its overall strategic plan. The Strategic Plan is regarded as a dynamic document that will be reviewed and updated on a quarterly basis to ensure that we are able to measure the achievement of our targets and to celebrate our successes as well as to improve on our unique challenges. We will achieve our strategic objectives with the focussed commitment and team effort of all our stakeholders to honour the trust placed in us to manage our country’s national resources for the benefit of all the people of Namibia. ……………………………………….

1.2 Technical Terms: Balanced Scorecard - a strategic management system with a balanced set of linked
objectives and performance indicators in different perspectives; valuable for establishing and communicating an organisation’s vision, mission and strategy to stakeholders and for the alignment of day-to-day work to strategy.
Benchmarking - a systematic, deliberate and thorough search for best practices that would lead to performance improvement when adapted into your organisation. It is a systematic learning process to close the performance gap. It involves planning, data collection, analysis and design, implementation, monitoring and adjustment.
Cascaded - a series of interventions through which an organisational aspect/concept (such as an objective) is passed from the higher to lower levels (to units) in a manner applied to each level, ensuring buy-in and resulting in aligned thinking and effort throughout the organisation.
Information systems - interrelated components working together to collect, process, store, and disseminate information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis, and visualisation in an organisation.
Initiative - current and future activities, projects and programmes the organisation is engaged in to help ensure it meets or exceeds its performance targets. Initiatives drive strategic performance. Initiatives are not ends in themselves, but means by which the organisation achieves its strategic objectives.
Intervention - An OD intervention can be any of the following types of measures or activities to improve organizational performance: Human Process; Techno-structural; Human Resource Management and Strategic.
Knowledge management - a systematic process of creating and leveraging organisational knowledge; involving discovery, codification, capturing, storage, sharing, dissemination and integration of new knowledge into the organisation for improved viability, growth and value. It integrates people, processes and technology.
Lagging - referring to strategic objectives or PIs as part of outputs or outcomes (used in the BSC and the Excellence models).
Leading - referring to operational objectives or PIs as part of inputs and processes (used in the BSC and the Excellence models).
Management Plan (or Action Plan) - a one year plan in which the organisation’s strategic objectives are translated into tactical strategies and linked to resources and the budget(s) of units; a plan in which objectives, activities and milestones to be achieved at operational unit / team level and responsible persons are identified; through the plan immediate pressure is reconciled with longer term strategy.
Mission - the mission statement defines the nature and core purpose of the organisation and is based on its mandate as expressed in specific legislation.
Objective - a specific (definable), concrete (measurable), short-term statement of a desired result, condition or accomplishment towards the achievement of strategic and management plans.
Outcome - the consequence, effect, impact and/or payoff(s) of achieving specific objectives/results, especially where direct effect is extremely difficult to measure.
Outputs - the services delivered or products produced.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 vi
Performance Indicator(s) (PIs) - the agreed sign(s)/measure(s) (quality, quantity, cost, etc.) used to determine, describe and assess effective performance and the achievement of results, i.e. the “what” that will be used to assess achievement, indicate progress, or the lack thereof, towards a result.
Performance Target - an agreed quantifiable performance level or change in level to be attained by a specific date.
Performance Verification - the process through which the validity and reliability of performance information is determined, with the aim to develop a holistic picture of and improve the performance within the unit/O/M/A.
Perspectives - different views or dimensions of an organisation when combined giving the full picture of the organisation; The BSC generally advocates four perspectives, viz. Employee/Learning and Growth, Processes, Financial and Customer/Citizen.
Project Management - the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and expectations from a project.
Programme Management - a combination or grouping of related projects, together achieving a common objective or theme.
Strategy - strategy starts with the present and moves the organisation to the future. Strategy asks three questions: “Where are we now?” (by analysing our internal and external environment); “Where do we want to go?” (where is our preferred destination in say 5 years?); “How do we want to get there?” (our roadmap). Strategy represents the broad priorities adopted by the organisation in recognition of its operating environment and in pursuit of its mission.
Strategy Map - the inter-relationship among objectives and measures that together visually describe the organisation’s strategy.
Strategic Focus Area – a priority or focus area, a theme, a high level objective or cluster of related objectives, sometimes called a goal. Typically strategic focus areas are formed around broad service areas.
Strategic Plan - the document capturing the strategic critical issues and strategies towards attaining the organisational purpose and direction as developed by the organisation. ; Strategic Planning - a process through which an organisation determines its strategic direction by setting clear objectives, including high level statements (vision, mission, core values) on a long term basis.
Structure - the systematic grouping and coordination of a variety of functions, tasks, hierarchies and resources (human, physical, financial and information) through an analysis of the work required - in a way that all management, supervisors and staff members have a clear understanding of their duties and how they work effectively together towards the organisational vision, mission and objectives.
Target - a quantifiable goal for each PI. Performance targets are the expected levels or standards of performance to be reached within specific time frames for each objective. Targets help the organisation to monitor progress towards objectives and communicate expectations for the organisation, unit or individual.
Values - values determine the way things get done in the organisation. Values are timeless guiding principles, deeply held beliefs within the organisation and demonstrated through the day-to-day behaviours of all employees. The organisation’s values make an open proclamation about how it expects everyone to behave.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 vii
Vision - the vision is the attractive and desirable picture of the future organisation, in say 5 or 10 years time, in terms of its likely physical appearance, location, size, image, products/services/activities, customers, processes, performance, staffing, capacities, etc. Vision translates mission into something really meaningful.
Unit – the target for each PI can be expressed in different unit, e.g. percentage, N$, number, frequency and date (sometimes referred to as TCQQ – Time, Cost, Quality and Quantity).

1. Overview of MME Strategic Planning Process
The MME expressed the leadership need to develop the Five-Year Strategic Plan of the MME during a highly interactive consultative process, based on the officially approved Public Service of Namibia Strategic Planning Model as developed during the Performance Management System (PMS) design as pioneered by the Office of the Prime Minister. The fundamental need for alignment with Vision 2030 and relevant high level documents was also expressed to the consultants.
The MME appointed strategic planning consultants in May 2006 to develop a practical strategic solution for the MME. Consequently, the consultants facilitated strategic workshop with management and project champions during July 2006 and August 2006 respectively, with the purpose to translate the strategic imperatives through the pragmatic Balanced Scorecard (BSC) methodology into specific objectives, measures, targets and initiatives.
The MME also expressed the need for the consultants to engage relevant MME officials during the process in an effort to capacitate them to be able to fully understand the strategic planning philosophy and methodology so that these officials would be able to maintain the strategic planning documents and process going forward. Hence, the secondary project objective is to transfer knowledge and to create internal capacity to maintain the scorecards going forward.
We will now define strategy and consequently elaborate on the strategic planning process being employed.
What is strategy? Strategy starts with the present and moves the organisation to the future. Strategy asks three questions:
“Where are we now?” – by analysing our internal and external environments “Where do we want to be?” – where is our preferred position in say 5 years?
“How do we want to get there?” – what is the best route to take?
“Strategy represents the broad priorities adopted by the organisation in recognition of its operating environment and in pursuit of its mission” (Niven 2003).
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has been actively involved in strategic planning processes over the past decade and consequently engaged strategic processes due to believing in the inherent value of the process. The MME provided the consultants with the following strategic documents as base-line information for developing the Five-Year Strategic Plan:
• Vision 2030 • NDP II • MME Strategic Plan 1999-2004 • MME Business Plan - 2005-2006 Financial Year (Fourth Quarter Review) • MME Business Plan – 2006-2007 Financial Year • MME Medium Term Plan • First Cabinet Retreat of the Fourth Government – 1-4 November 2005.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 2
The existing vision at the time of the consultants engaging the MME was: The vision - ‘To be the best performing Ministry in Namibia in terms of achievements of its objectives’ – and the mission – ‘The Ministry of Mines and Energy, as the custodian of Namibia’s rich endowment of mineral, geological and energy resources, facilitates and regulates the responsible development and sustainable utilisation of these resources for the benefit of all Namibians’.
The existing values of the MME at the time of engaging the project were:
Value Definition Impartial To provide equal opportunity and treatment in service delivery.
Transparent To publish information on procedures and performance standards we aim to meet.
Accountable To be responsible and able to justify our decisions and actions.
Innovative To be creative in response to issues that impact on our business.
Loyal To be honest and faithful in dealing with our customers.
Professional To provide a value for money and customer focused service.
The existing vision, mission and values were reviewed during an interactive strategic planning facilitated group-activity with the consequence of newly high level statements being defined in an effort to align all directorates toward a common vision, mission and behavioural framework (refer to 3. hereunder for the newly defined high level statements).
The outcome of the initial Situational Analysis Workshop (12-14 July 2006) and the Strategic Planning Workshop (3-4 August 2006) was a pragmatic strategic plan developed through a process of continuous consultation with line management and all interested and affected parties.
The challenge for the consultants was to further cascade the MME Strategy to the relevant directorates in order to ensure that all MME business units were made responsible and accountable for achieving their individual objectives, which would ensure departmental objective achievement, which would ultimately culminate in overall Corporate Scorecard achievement.
This MME Strategic Plan/BSC aims to visually map the identified corporate strategic objectives (with specified priority levels), PIs, targets and initiatives that
were agreed upon with all interested and affected parties during various stakeholder engagement forums (i.e. workshops and meetings).
This report will become (once officially approved) the MME Corporate BSC that will serve as compass to the various business units in the BSC cascading process to
ensure strategic and operational alignment from the corporate scorecard through to business unit and individual levels.

2. Our Approach & Methodology
2.1. Strategic Planning in PMS Context Strategic planning in the Public Service of Namibia is mandatory as the strategic plan forms the critical link between national high-level initiatives and organisational (O/M/A) purpose and direction. In order to fulfil this critical link, strategic plans should be in line with the guidelines provided in PMS Module 3. Module 3: Strategic Planning is one of the 15 modules in the PMS Toolkit. As can be seen, the PMS starts with strategic planning as depicted in Figure 1.

2.2 Strategic Planning & Execution Process The “Strategy Diamond” as shown as Figure 2 (Olivier 2005), as described in PMS Module 3, depicts the strategy planning process from top to bottom, step by step. The first eight stages comprise the strategic planning process and the last two strategy execution.
FIGURE 2: STRATEGY DIAMOND (OLIVIER 2005) The corporate O/M/A strategy is developed in stages 1 to 7. Unit management plans are developed in stage 8 (cascaded from the strategic plan) which clearly states the roles of the group and individuals in performing specific duties and projects within specific timeframes and budgets. In this way the individual is linked to the vision and can clearly see his/her contribution to the corporate vision realisation.
In stages 9 and 10 the strategy/management plans are executed and progress/performance regularly measured, evaluated and verified with a feedback loop towards continuous improvement (CI).
2.3 BSC Perspectives It has become increasingly important for O/M/As to look at financial and non-financial perspectives, tangibles and intangibles, effectiveness and efficiency, leading and lagging performance indicators. A balanced set of objectives and performance measures are therefore required for excellent and sustainable performance.

Balance is ensured when different views or perspectives of the organisation are considered in the identification of objectives.
The concept of perspectives (or dimensions) is explained by means of Figure 3. The cube has 6 sides or perspectives. To get the full picture of the cube, you need to look at all its sides or obtain all points of view. The four perspectives of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) are:
• Employee (or Learning and Growth) perspective (E); • Internal processes perspective (P); • Financial perspective (F) and the • Customer perspective (C).
FIGURE 3: PERSPECTIVES ILLUSTRATED
This balanced view could also be compared with the dials and gauges on a car’s dashboard. Drivers can see at a glance what the indicators are communicating. The trick is to identify the few critical indicators that tell the story across the various perspectives.
For the MME these different perspectives could also be depicted in the form of a House (see Figure 4 on the following page). The sun above the ‘House’ represents the guiding light, the vision of the MME.
FIGURE 4: THE ‘BALANCED HOUSE’ (OLIVIER 2005)
In the foundation/floor or Employee Learning and Growth Perspective (E), the O/M/A capacity and direction is established. The resources required (staff, skills and assets, such as IT) are defined to create the required economic value (as defined in the service delivery model in Module 1). The direction in the development and leveraging of resources is achieved through strategic and management plans.

On a solid foundation and floor, the walls of the O/M/A can now be built. This is represented by the Internal Processes (P) Perspective. This is where the internal initiatives are found – where the products / services / information are produced, by means of transforming certain inputs to the desired outputs. These transformations are described by policies and procedures and implemented through processes. The O/M/A is designed or structured (with roles and responsibilities) to best support these processes. Technology is facilitating these processes.
The roof represents the Financial or Budget Perspective (F) of the O/M/A. Good service delivery will lead to good financial performance. This perspective normally has two main elements, viz. productivity improvement (e.g. cost reduction) and revenue growth (e.g. new sources of income and improved payment). (This perspective could also be placed immediately after the E perspective.)
The top part of the roof is the Customer or Citizen Perspective (C). The more funds, the better the O/M/A is able to serve its customers. In the public sector, the ultimate goal is customer/community service. Customers remain the beginning and end of an O/M/A. Through an effective PMS, continuous improvement should be institutionalised in the O/M/A.

3. High Level Statements
3.1. Mandate The Ministry of Mines and Energy was established in 1990 to act as custodian of Namibia’s rich endowment of mineral and energy resources and to create an environment in which the mineral and energy sectors could prosper. The function of the Ministry of Mines and Energy is to ensure that the mineral, geological and energy resources of Namibia are developed and utilized and in a sustainable manner for the maximum advantage of the country and her citizens, while promoting our natural wealth. Objectives: • To promote investment in the mineral and energy sectors. • To ensure the sustainable contribution of geological and energy resources to the socio-
economic development of Namibia. • To create a conducive environment for the mineral and energy sectors. • To regulate and monitor the exploration and exploitation of mineral and energy
resources. • To minimize the impact of exploitation of mineral and energy resources on the
environment. • To provide professional and customer focused service.
3.2. Vision The MME Vision (What do we want to be in five years time?) is presented on the following page.
3.3 Mission The MME Mission (What will we do to achieve the vision?) is presented on the following page.
These high level statements were co-crafted by MME management and employees at the strategy workshop of 3-4 August 2006, in collaboration with the consultants. The best options for the Vision, Mission and Value statements were selected by way of an extensive dialogue and consultation process.

4. Strategic Focus Areas (SFAs) Strategic Focus Areas (SFAs) are the few priority or focus area in which an O/M/A has to perform to achieve its vision, based on its mandate. SFAs could be regarded as the main components of its strategy. These ‘areas’ are sometimes referred to as goals, high level objectives, clusters of related objectives key result areas (KRAs).Typically SFAs will form around broad service areas, based on the organisation’s mandate.
The eight SFAs chosen for MME are depicted in the form of a House. This House represents the MME as organisation. This House is made up of eight main components or SFAs as shown in Figure 6, with reference to the four conventional BSC perspectives.

Figure 6 tells us that if the MME wishes to achieve its vision, based on its mandate, it has to perform in these eight Strategic Focus Areas, viz.:
A: Strengthen MME Capacity – This is the foundation and includes human, financial and structural resources.
B: Create a Conducive Environment – This is the floor to create a conducive and ‘level playing field’ and includes legislation, relational resources, policies, procedures and incentives.
C1: Create, Research, Promote and Disseminate Earth Science Information – Built on the foundation and floor, this centre portion of the wall supports the core processes (walls) on both sides – Mining and Energy.
C2: Promote, Develop & Monitor the Mining Sector – This part of the wall represent the core business/processes in the mining sector.
C3: Promote, Develop & Monitor the Energy Sector - This part of the wall represent the core business/processes in the energy sector.
D: Optimise Financial Outputs – This bottom part of the roof, resting on the walls, represents the financial outputs/benefits.
E1: Protect Life & the Environment – This top half of the roof represents the desired outputs/outcomes with regard to the protection of human life and the environment.
E2: Improve Socio-Economic Conditions - This other top half of the roof represents the desired outputs/outcomes with regard to social and economic development of communities and the Namibian population in general.
This ‘MME House’ is being built from bottom up by means of these eight main building components. The hypothesis is that the House would collapse should one component be missing.
In the next section these components or strategic focus areas are populated with objectives that are linked.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 12
5. Strategy Mapping & Strategy Story
5.1. Strategy Mapping The identified 8 SFAs are now populated with objectives. Each SFA is decomposed (broken up into smaller pieces) into specific objectives. Objectives are the building blocks or value drivers of strategy and the BSC. Objectives are categorised into these chosen SFAs. This process is depicted in the form of a mind map (Figure 7) with the vision in the centre and moving outwards with more and more detail. To realise the vision, the broad areas of focus (SFAs) were chosen first. Then more detail per SFA is added by means of objectives (O). After this more detail per objective is added by means of initiatives (I) or projects. This map illustrates our strategy on one page, showing how our various initiatives contribute in achieving our vision. This hypothesis, however, needs to be tested through verification (refer to PMS Module 12).
FIGURE 7: STRATEGY MIND MAP (OLIVIER 2006) Strategy mapping forms an integral part of strategic planning and the BSC. It is sometimes called a ‘value creation map’ or ‘success map’. The strategy map links the various strategic objectives together in a very clear manner for everybody to understand.

In Figure 8 the MME Strategy Map is presented as the ‘In-House Strategy Map”.
In this Figure the Objectives are linked in a general cause and effect relationship.
The strategy map shows how objectives are dependent on one another (leading and lagging value drivers and indicators) over the different SFAs. This chain of causes and effects is created that is believed to lead to the desired outcome (a hypothesis).
A total of 41 objectives were identified through the consultation process. The hypothesis is that if the MME follows this path, by achieving these 41 objectives in these 8 SFAs, it will realise its vision.
Objectives are all numbered according to their SFA, e.g. Objective B3 is “Reduced Red Tape”.
The ‘House’ is being built and maintained by achieving the various objectives in the SFAs, generally from bottom to top. Objectives in SFA A, B and C are mostly leading objectives (inputs and processes) and those in SFA D and E lagging objectives (outputs / outcomes).
Figure 9 gives an indication of current accountabilities (per directorate) for the identified strategic objectives.
Figure 10 is an example of the ‘PS Dashboard’ of two selected months. The progress made towards the achievement of all objectives can be summarised on the strategy map by using the three colours of the traffic light. Only when all objectives are coloured in green will MME’s vision be realised. These colours are determined by the chosen PIs and targets for each objective.
An important aspect of the BSC and the PMS is that progress is monitored, evaluated and reported on a regular basis (preferably monthly). The purpose of this is to assess corporate, unit and individual performance and to take the appropriate measures to recognise good performance and improve poor performance.
The strategy map is the summary of the strategy. If a problem is identified with an objective, it is possible to “drill down” to find the root causes.
The tables or logical framework matrix (LFM) provides the details. The LFM is used to “drill down” to PIs, targets, initiatives and responsible people.
This whole process is in the BSC format that can be automated, should it be required in future.

5.2. Strategy Story In the ‘Strategy Story’, the motivation and story of the strategy map as told, step-by-step, from bottom to top.
The MME strategy story is told by means of the house analogy. The house consists of 8 main components of SFAs and is built from bottom to top. The essential building blocks are the objectives that are placed in these areas and are linked in a general cause-and-effect relationship.
Building the Foundation: First off all sufficient capacity within MME is required. It starts with sufficient qualified staff and their retention by means of appropriate remuneration and working conditions. Clear and well communicated policies & procedures will make it easy for staff on all levels to understand what is expected from them and how to execute their work. The right culture has to be cultivated, based on the core values, customer focus, learning and innovation and service and high performance. Apart from human resources, our most valuable asset, other resources are also required as inputs, laying the foundation. These are financial resources (budget) and physical resources such as facilities, equipment and vehicles. These need to be properly managed. Information and communication technology plays a valuable and essential role in today’s O/M/A to facilitate good relations and efficient service delivery.
Building the Floor: With sufficient MME capacity (with the minimum resource requirements met), a conducive and attractive environment/industry (level playing fields) needs to be created for healthy development in the mining and energy sectors (preparing for the walls to be built). An appropriate legislative framework is essential to clarify and harmonise stakeholder mandates, roles and responsibilities. Role players need to know the rules of the game. Clear guidelines in the form of industry policies and procedures should be developed and communicated, such as for environmental protection. Red tape should be reduced to make processes faster, more efficient and more attractive for stakeholders such as investors. Improved knowledge of all stakeholders and their needs is centrally located in the floor, as public service is all about knowing and serving your customers. Only by knowing your stakeholders, their mandates, needs, roles and responsibilities can good relations be built towards increasing synergy. Specific actions are required to improve the image of Namibia and its resources and to positively brand it. This will facilitate effective promotion and the creation of appropriate incentives for potential investors in exploration and processing. Local SME’s should be included for incentives and encouraged to participate in the local mining and energy industries.
Building the Walls: The walls represent the core activities/processes as described in the MME mandate and consist of three main parts. In the centre, new geo-information is generated and disseminated to stakeholders, focusing on facilitating development in the mining and energy sectors.
In the mining sector the few strategic objectives selected are improvements in licensing, regulation of exploration and exploitation, safety and security, diamond protection; increases in investments, beneficiation and improvements in the control of imports and exports and mining output/export.
In the energy sector the chosen essential building blocks are improvements in licensing, regulation of exploration and production, an increase in energy generation, a strengthened transmission network, enhanced rural electrification, affordable energy based on cost-recovery, increases in the use of renewable energy and value addition of oil and gas and export of electricity.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 15
Building the Roof: The roof represents the desired outputs and outcomes of MME. It includes a financial and customer perspective. The actions leading to the achievement of the objectives in the foundation, floor and walls should lead to increased sales and exports, supported by improvements in income collection.
The need for improved monitoring, evaluation and reporting of MME outputs and outcomes was identified. The selected desired outputs in the areas of environmental protection and socio-economic development are: improved protection of the environment and more rehabilitated sites; the reduction of mining and energy related accidents; communities well educated in the geo-science, mining, energy, safety and environmental protection; an increased number of SMEs operating in the mining and energy sectors with improved support, such as facilities, infrastructure, finance, coaching and mentoring; and finally an increase in Namibian ownership and employment opportunities in businesses linked to the mining and energy sectors.
This narrative is illustrated on the strategy map (Figure 8)

Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 19
6. Performance Indicators and Targets
6.1 Defining Good Performance Indicators A performance indicator (PI) is a performance metric that will reflect progress against an objective. The PI and its target should be regarded as part of the objective, making it measurable. A PI is an agreed indicator to be used to determine progress made, or the lack thereof, towards achieving each objective. A PI must be quantifiable to track progress. To develop meaningful PIs, one has to understand desired inputs and the processes that are used to produce outputs and eventually outcomes. Leading indicators are predictors of future performance and lagging indicators are outcomes. PIs are used by organisations to measure individual staff member, Unit and overall organisational performance.
Objectives and their PIs need to be SMART(A):
Each objective should therefore have at least one PI, but preferably not more than three (to prevent complexity). Each PI should have a unit of measurement and a target. The sources of evidence are clearly spelled out in the PI Statement (see section 6.3).
PIs could be classified in terms of TCQQ – Time (date/duration/frequency), Cost (N$), Quality (Satisfaction index or %) and/or Quantity (number or %). Examples of PIs, with their units of measurement, are:
• Customer satisfaction (%) • Employee satisfaction (%) • Production quantity (No) • Service delivery frequency (weekly) • Productivity/efficiency (%) • Work quality (no of complaints) • Time – responses and meeting deadlines (no) • Turnover/retention of staff (no) • Workplace relations (index) • Cost (N$)
• Specific: PIs should be expressed in clear and specific terms, indicating/measuring specific actions required in the individual job;
• Measurable: PIs should be quantifiable to a large extent, that is based on behaviour that can be observed and documented and is job-related;
• Agreed to: PIs should be based on genuine prior two-way consultation;
• Realistic: PIs should be realistically achievable; giving the staff member a significant degree of control over achievement of the PI; considering the realities of the work environment;
• Timely: PIs should have an appropriate time frame; relevant information should be collected ‘as it happens’ or within a short time afterwards;
• Aligned: Individual PIs need to be directly linked to O/M/A objectives and performance indicators; they need to reflect the O/M/As values; they need to be linked to other HR-related functions (e.g. training and reward).
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 20
6.2 Targets and Benchmarking A target is a quantifiable standard for each indicator. Performance targets are the expected levels or standards of performance to be reached within specific timeframes for each objective. Targets help the organisation to monitor progress towards objectives and communicate expectations for units and the organisation.
Targets have to be challenging and be raised over time, but to remain achievable.
Initially targets may be estimated guesses, but over time these targets have to conform to best practices by comparing what are the benchmark targets in the industry. Industry refers to similar types of services offered by others in the region or globally.
Benchmarking is a systematic, deliberate and thorough search for best practices that would lead to performance improvement when adapted in your organisation. The benchmarking process is therefore a systematic learning process to close the performance gap. It involves planning, data collection, analysis and design, implementation, monitoring and adjustment.
It provides PIs and targets as tools to identify inefficiencies and to improve business processes. The appropriateness of benchmarks should be reviewed in the performance verification process.
The PIs and targets for the various MME objectives were selected at the workshops. These are shown in the tables or LFM.
It should be noted that these PIs and targets should be regarded as provisional, due to the limited information available at this stage. These PIs and targets
should be revised and finalised during the first few months of implementation.
Only the best few PIs per objective should be chosen. Appropriate targets can only be defined through the process of benchmarking.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 21
6.3. MME PI Statements Indicators have to be well defined to facilitate strategy execution and performance management. An indicator statement normally includes the following:
PI BACKGROUND: • Theme and Objective this measure is linked to
• Indicator Number & Name
• Indicator Owner: The name of the owner (unit or person) of this measure accountable for the results.
• Indicator Description: Explain why the measure is critical, why it was decided to include this measure, how the measure will help to achieve the objective and strategic theme of expanding offerings.
PI CHARACTERISTICS: • Frequency: How often do you plan to report performance on this measure – daily,
weekly, monthly, quarterly or bi-annually or annually?
• Unit Type: Indicating how the measure will be expressed – in numbers, N$, percentages or indices?
• Polarity: Indicating whether high values reflect good or bad performance.
CALCULATION AND DATA SPECIFICATIONS: • Data Source / Source of evidence: Indicate the source of the measure – e.g. a
management report survey or information system.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION: • Baseline: State the current level of performance.
• Target: State your future targets for performance improvement.
• Target Rationale: Explain how you arrived at these particular targets.
An example of a PI Statement is shown in Annexure A. It is important to note that each unit within the MME would need to progressively complete the ‘PI Statements’ templates for each objective over the next couple of months seeing that the completed documents would map the specific pragmatic focus areas for each PI. Management will also be challenged to evaluate whether each defined PI can in actual fact be measured in practical operational terms. It will also sensitise management to the importance of having relevant and appropriate sources of evidence (‘Data Source’) for effectively measuring each PI with supporting targets during defined reporting periods. It is essential to note that the ‘PI Owner’ will be responsible for frequently reporting on the relevant PI / target achievement and hence he/she will be required to establish operational procedures to ensure that targets are achieved and that relevant progress records are maintained for frequent (whether monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually) reporting. Therefore, the ‘PI Statements’ templates could be defined as a planning document indicating what the purpose of each PI is (PI Motivation); who the owner of the relevant PI is (PI Owner); how the PI will be measured (Unit Type); what the reporting frequency for the PI Owner would be (Frequency); what the sources of evidence / documentation would be (Data Source); what the current baseline is (Baseline); and what the relevant and appropriate targets are for each PI.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 22
7. Initiatives
How do we achieve our targets for each measure? - through initiatives or projects. Initiatives are where the action is.
The BSC links the strategic objectives with initiatives or projects. In this way resource allocation is based on the strategy.
Initiatives are defined as current and future activities or projects the MME is engaged in to help ensure it meets or exceeds its performance targets.
Initiatives drive strategic performance. Initiatives are not ends in themselves, but means by which the MME will achieve its defined strategic objectives. Through the initiatives the MME will reach its targets and achieve its objectives.
But initiatives require resources: financial, human and structural. These normally need to be managed by means of project management principles, tools and techniques. It is therefore important to measure initiative progress through project management tools and techniques. Refer to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) from the Project Management Institute (www.pmi.org).
The various strategic initiatives are listed in the tables of the following section.
Note that a detailed project plan has to be developed for each initiative before implementation. Based on these project plans, an Initiative Statement has to be developed for each project, summarising the key project features to be monitored and measured on a regular basis, as part of the BSC.
An example of an Initiative Statement is shown in Annexure B.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 23
8. Cascaded Unit Management Plans ‘Cascading’ refers to a series of stages in which each operates the next in turn (Collins Concise Dictionary: 2001). In the BSC context this means that the Corporate BSC is the primary and most important foundational stage in the strategic planning process. All relevant themes, objectives, performance indicators (measures), targets, initiatives and resources (responsible people and budgets) for the MME are identified within the process of assimilating the Corporate BSC.
However, the purpose of strategic planning is to turn strategy into action. Therefore, it is essential to allocate each and every identified objective, performance indicator and initiative to a relevant and appropriate department within the MME. For instance: the responsibility for Training normally vests in the hands of the Human Relations Unit. Hence, the employee related training objective within the Learning & Growth Perspective within the Corporate BSC will now be cascaded to the Human Relations Unit Scorecard. Similarly all objectives, measures and initiatives relevant to specific functional units will now be allocated to the respective departments cascaded from the Corporate BSC. This translates into a scenario whereby the sum total of all unit scorecards will equate to the MME Corporate Scorecard.
It is also important to note that the process of cascading relevant Corporate BSC objectives to relevant units are effected in close consultation with the respective Heads of Units in order to ensure buy-in and commitment. It also raises the awareness amongst the various Unit Heads of the importance of their Unit’s contribution towards achieving the organisational objectives of the MME. Therefore, the cascaded Unit scorecards clearly define who are responsible for specific objectives, performance indicators, targets and initiatives relevant to that Unit as well as defines the financial resources approved for each initiative. The Unit Heads retains the primary responsibility and accountability for ensuring that all identified responsible team members within his/her Unit actually reports and achieves his/her defined action plans. These action plans clearly defines the reporting requirements for each initiative as well as the metrics.
The PS will on a monthly basis expect all Unit Heads to report on their Units’ progress in achieving the objectives as identified in the Corporate BSC, cascaded to Unit level. This effectively means that the overall Corporate BSC can only be achieved through effective and efficient functional Unit performance.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 24
Figure 11 illustrates the cascading process as described above.

9. Logical Framework Matrix The Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) (or Tables) takes the strategy map and gives it more detail. The LFM is therefore the detailed strategy/BSC of the.
The corporate LFM can include the following:
• Strategic Focus Areas
• Objectives (with priorities and accountabilities)
• PIs
• Targets
• Initiatives (with priorities and responsibilities)
• Cost estimates of all initiatives
• Scheduling of initiatives over the 5 year period
On the following pages the LFM for MME are presented. It is cascaded into the six Management Plans (per Unit/Directorate)
The objectives refer to the strategy map in Figures 8 & 9. The same colour codes are used.
Note that the Estimated Costs are in thousands (000’s) and represent the estimated total 2006 cost for each initiative over the 5 year period.

Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 44
10. Budgeting
The initiatives, as described in the tables of the previous section, require resources – human, structural and financial resources.
The total cost estimates in the LFM are indicated in thousands of N$ (000’s) and is the total cost for the 5 year period. If the allocation is evenly distributed, the annual cost is the total divided by 5.
To ensure a realistic BSC, these resources should be available. It is also important to link this required budget with the Medium Term Plan (MTP) and Performance and Effective Management Programme (PEMP) data.
The total required funds to realise all strategic initiatives of the BSC over the five year period is N$39,671,000. Only approximately 20 percent of this amount is made provision for in the budget. Hence, 80 percent of these funds (31,736,800) would need to be sourced to realise the strategic imperative of the MME Strategic Plan. Note that these are just cost estimates and will have to be verified in future.
The annual budget allocations per SFA and Unit respectively are shown in the following two diagrams.
The total annual costs of all the strategic initiatives are as follows:

11. Individual Performance Agreements (PA’S) The individual PAs are based on the Unit Scorecards of the previous section.
The Head of the Unit is always accountable for all objectives, measures and initiatives in his/her Unit.
Responsibilities for initiatives are assigned to individuals. The number of initiatives per person is depicted in the following figure. Note that some initiatives are much bigger than others. This is only an indication of workload based on the number of strategic initiatives responsible in the five year period of this plan.
11.1. Methodology of Cascading to PA’s The process of cascading the Corporate Scorecard to relevant and appropriate Unit Scorecards was illustrated during the process above. The same principles discussed in terms of the fundamental importance of cascading the Corporate Scorecard (Ministry) to Unit (Directorate) Scorecards are also relevant in ultimately cascading functional responsibilities to individual Performance Agreements (PA’s). Therefore, the Corporate Scorecard is cascaded to Unit Scorecards, which in turn is now cascaded to individual PA’s. You will recall that all performance indicators and initiatives within the Unit Scorecard were assigned to specific unit team members within each functional Unit. The idea is now to extrapolate each relevant performance indicator and initiative relevant to a specific individual from the Unit scorecard and include it into a specific PA for that individual.
It should now be emphasised that the cascading process should positively impact performance, seeing that it is now expected from each and every individual to achieve his/her assigned individual responsibilities, which in turn should culminate in the relevant department – in which that individual is a team member – to achieve its objectives, which in turn should lead to the objective being achieved on Corporate level. This means that the cascading of identified strategic responsibilities from Corporate level to Unit level through to individual level has everything to do with effectively managing performance. Therefore, it now becomes important for managers to assign specific responsibilities to specific individuals within his/her business unit as cascaded from the Corporate Scorecard and to measure achievement on a continuous basis. This process is commonly referred to as the Performance Management Process (PMS).
The PMS is therefore of fundamental importance to the successful inculcation of a Performance Culture at the Ministry of Mines and Energy and therefore special energy and effort must be expounded in an effort to measure the “right things” – that which one measures, is what gets done! It is important to emphasise that due to the fact that performance management is a process, that the success of it does not hinge on the complexity and scientific design of the system, but rather whether you follow due process when completing the performance agreement and/or review process, i.e. do you speak to your team members when you either agree the content and/or complete the performance review and/or assessment?; do you mutually agree on the final rating?; does the team member know what his development areas are on completion of the review?, etc.
Therefore, the success of PMS is based on effective inter-personal communication while being fair, consistent and transparent in the way you agree on a PA or review a team member’s performance. It is therefore important to emphasise that when you forward your final ratings to the Finance and Administration Directorate, that it should be representative of a process which you followed in your business unit, i.e. did you have a
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 48
review discussion with your team members?; was the final rating mutually agreed upon?; does the team member know what his / her final rating is?, etc. That is what the Finance and Administration Directorate is really interested in (did you follow due process).
The value of PMS is that you are speaking to your team members, you are providing team members with continuous performance feedback, they know where they stand with you, they understand whether they are contributing to the business unit or not, they understand what would be the consequences of continuous non-performance, they understand what would be the benefits of consistent good performance, and you mutually agree how to address development needs, amongst other things!
A fundamental principle of Performance Management is that the must be owned by line management due to the obvious benefits of the process: • Business performance is enhanced at organisational, operational, team and
individual level.
• Employees have a sense of common purpose and clarity on the contribution required.
• Individual effort is aligned with business requirements.
• Contributing employees are retained because they want to work for an organisation where performance matters.
• Support structures, including development activities, are designed to address the individual performance needs of employees.
• Rewards are equitable and recognise individual contributions to the achievement of business objectives.
It must be categorically stated that ownership and responsibility for your business unit’s PA’s, the content thereof as well as the final reviews / measurements, vests in the hands of the business unit (line management) and not with the Finance and Administration Directorate. The latter unit will only facilitate the process and provides continuous advice / support.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 49
11.2 Performance Management System (PMS) The Office of the Prime Minister developed the PMS in association with development partners. The PMS will be rolled out to all O/M/A’s over the next five (5) years during a staggered approach. The PMS consists of 15 Modules:
The Ministry of Mines and Energy will be trained on all 15 Modules with the expectation that the Ministry should achieve various milestones. Module 5 in particular deals with cascading strategic measures to Performance Agreements. Therefore, the Ministry would use the prescribed performance agreement template and processes to develop individual performance agreements and to follow due process and monitoring, reviewing, assessing and verifying individual performance. The MME is encouraged to approach the OPM to inform them that the MME strategic plan has been completed and that the MME would wish to be one of the first Ministries to engage the 15 PMS Module Training Process.

12. BSC Implementation Procedures
This section describes the implementation procedures of the BSC in MME. These steps are provided to successfully implement the BSC throughout the MME .
The BSC consists of the following:
• Corporate scorecard;
• Unit scorecards;
• Performance contracts/agreements
12.1. Critical Success Factors (CSFs) The Balanced Scorecard Collaborative states the following figures: • 95% of a typical workforce does not understand its organization’s strategy • 90% of organizations fail to execute their strategies successfully • 86% of executive teams spend less than one hour per month discussing strategy • 70% of organizations do not link middle management incentives to strategy • 60% of organizations do not link strategy to budgeting
What can MME do to ensure success with the implementation of its strategy / BSC? CSFs for successful BSC implementation are presented below for regular consideration:
1. Understanding and buy-in of the BSC by management;
2. Sufficient budget to support identified strategic initiatives;
3. Dedicated staff and time for the capturing and updating the corporate and unit scorecards;
4. Effective communication of the strategy and BSC to all stakeholders;
5. Regular measuring/monitoring of all initiatives and PIs;
6. Updating of the BSC when needed (objectives, PI’s, Targets, Initiatives, Responsibilities, etc.);
7. Including/integrating the BSC in the agenda of every management meeting;
8. Regular reporting (preferably monthly) of corporate and unit performance;
9. Supporting information system to support the management of the BSC;
10. Verification of the alignment between the PAs, unit scorecards and the corporate BSC.
The BSC alters the way in which an organisation does it business. The BSC should be valued and used as the core document making and keeping it a strategy focussed organisation. These CSFs should be considered to ensure the BSC benefits are being realised.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 51
12.2 Step-by-Step Procedure The procedure for implementing/managing the BSC is herewith described in a step-by-step format.
Step 1: Communicate the MME corporate strategy and scorecard to all stakeholders.
• Employees
• Board members
• Line Ministries, e.g. NRSC, MWTC, etc.
• The general public
Perhaps the single most important success factor in the process of achieving the various MME Scorecards is the ability of management to communicate the strategic intent and imperatives across the various levels in the: horizontally to various team members and across business units where synergy is imperative; vertically across the various levels within the; diagonally across all stakeholders forums and most significantly; to continuously communicate changes in the various Scorecards and strategic imperatives to ensure that all stakeholders are always aware of the current strategic direction of the MME .
Step 2: Understand your unit’s objectives.
• Ensure that all units clearly understand for which objectives they are accountable and responsible;
• Comprehend the linkage between the relevant units’ Scorecard objectives and that of the overall MME Corporate Scorecard and its relevance in terms of core business;
• Understand how the unit structure supports the achievement of the relevant unit’s Scorecard objectives;
• Understand how the units’ workflow is designed to ensure the achievement of the various units’ Scorecard objectives;
• Understand the shared responsibility of certain objectives across various functional units and the inter-relationship in terms of objective achievement through synergy and continuous inter-unit consultation.
The respective Heads of Units should arrange an initial meeting with their respective units and explain the relevant units’ Scorecards in terms of strategic intent and operational significance. Enough time should be allowed for the relevant team members to ask clarifying question in terms of the metrics, targets and initiatives as well as the required resources. The primary purpose of these introductory meetings should be to establish a common platform for strategy clarification and to gain commitment toward the execution of business unit specific initiatives.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 52
Step 3: Understand your unit’s PI and Targets for each objective.
• Understand the ‘cause-and-effect’ in instances where business units achieves the various PI’s and targets and also in instances where the PI’s and targets are not achieved;
• Understand the metric units (i.e. % of.., number of…, N$ of.., etc.) for each PI;
• Understand the purpose of defining the correct metrics for each relevant objective and the source documents for obtaining metric information, especially on the PI’s;
• Understand the fundamental importance for each target to be achieved for each PI.
It is essential that team members comprehend the importance of operational structures in the process of ensuring that each PI and target can in actual fact be measured and that it does not result in an additional administrative burden that could potentially impact a focus of team members on core business. Therefore, all team members should understand the practicality of each PI and the importance of being able to monitor and assess on a continuous basis whether the PI’s and targets are in actual fact being achieved.
Step 4: Be clear on accountabilities for each objective and its PIs and Measurements.
• Understand the various detailed metrics associated with each objective per unit and who the accountable persons are for each metric;
• Accountable persons should be absolutely clear on what it exactly means to be accountable for a metric;
• Accountable persons should understand the operational and strategic impact for achievement and non-achievement of metrics and also be sensitised to the business rewards for achieving metrics;
• Accountable persons should be equipped with the necessary human-, capital-, infrastructural- and financial resources to be able to achieve the various metrics for which they are responsible.
• In most instances the respective line managers are accountable for the metrics within their respective units.
The BSC is fundamentally based on the premise that business success should be shared across all functional Units and that the various metrics should be highly defined, specific and someone be made responsible and accountable for ensuring metric achievement. Therefore, any sound BSC should be very specific in terms of who will be held accountable for metric achievement.
Step 5: Be clear on responsibilities for measurements of each PI.
Step 4 clearly indicated the importance for allocating specific accountabilities for each objective and associated metric. It was also stated that line management in most instances are accountable for unit objectives and metrics. It should however be stated that line management – being ultimately accountable for unit objectives and metrics – should make specific team members within his/her unit responsible for the continuous measurement of relevant functional PI’s. These responsible team members should ensure that PI measurement is effective and efficient which should lead to continuous remedies being instituted in instances on non-achievement trend identification. The metric specific responsible person should manage the relevant PI on a daily basis to ensure metric achievement.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 53
Step 6: Be clear on responsibilities for each initiative.
• Projects/initiatives associated with each PI are also a significant success factor in ensuring BSC achievement. It is commonly acknowledged that the projects/initiatives indicated for each PI and the degree to which these projects/initiatives are successfully achieved - are the vehicles through which BSC objectives are achieved;
• It is therefore important to make specific individuals responsible for specific initiatives and to also equip them with the tools and resources to effectively manage the relevant project/initiative;
• Understand the resource requirements, actual resource availability and the dynamics involved in ensuring that initiatives are continuously resourced in order to meet the required objectives within the units.
Step 7: Ensure good project management.
• The BSC Committee will be the forum through which the MME BSC implementation will be monitored and hence this forum will retain the mandate to recommend process improvements in support of the successful achievement of the various Scorecards, however;
• The MME should make one senior official responsible for leading the BSC project (a BSC Champion, if you will). This official will have the mandate to call BSC meetings and to lead the agenda of the BSC Committee;
• The MME via the BSC Champion and BSC Committee should ensure that sound principles of due diligence is adhered to in the process of managing the various milestones/time lines as indicated within the Corporate Scorecard, Unit Scorecards and should ensure that the BSC is a dynamic document which is updated on a frequent basis;
• It is suggested that Corporate BSC and Unit BSC Meetings are determined and fixed on the annual calendar and adhered to at all time. For instance: the Corporate BSC could be evaluated on a monthly basis by the CEO, while the unit BSC’s could be managed on a weekly or fortnightly basis by the respective Heads of Units;
• It is recommended that the MME considers retaining the services of an external consultant to champion the process and to ensure sustainability of the inculcation of a new strategic methodology.
Step 8: Report back.
• Understand the required reporting format and frequency;
• Understand the various reporting forums and the accountable persons for frequent reporting on specific metrics;
• Understand that the units’ Scorecards are dynamic documents which form an integral part of the management of the various units and hence needs to be updated on a regular basis as and when targets and initiatives are achieved as well as when changes are made.
Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan for 2007/08 - 2011/12 54
Step 9: Continuous performance improvement.
The BSC methodology and process is fundamentally based on a performance management philosophy, which seeks to ensure that overall organisational performance is enhanced through specific actions and metrics by (a) the organisation, (b) the respective business units and (c) individuals’ contribution to the achievement of the various objectives, measures, targets and initiatives. The foundation of the BSC is founded on international, industry and national norms, benchmarks and standards. The purpose of the BSC is to establish business unique benchmarks for each business process, PI, target and initiative and consequently to seek continuous improvement on these standards. Hence, the MME will continuously drive efficiencies and therefore increase turn-around times, operational effectiveness, inter alia. For instance, if the MME standard for finalising a claim is 24 working days, then it should seek ways of improving on this standard. It could well be that they improve this standard by way of increased synergy and clear work processes and competent employees to 18 working days. If this is achieved, then the benchmark is set for trying to improve on this new standard. And so the business will continuously seek to improve on its own standards, and benchmarks.
It is also widely acknowledged that business is only able to reinvent itself and increase its efficiencies if their people are competent (knowledge, skills and attitude). However, competency of employees does not guarantee business success. Something more is needed! It comes down to the ability of the organisation to measure each and every individual’s contribution to the organisation and making each and every individual accountable/responsible for specific strategic, operational, technical and functional objectives and to measure the successful achievement of these objectives through specific metrics. Individuals that achieve and exceed their individual objectives are contributing to the success of the MME and should therefore be rewarded for their performance. This will result in increased motivational levels, which in turn should yield a higher return on performance investment during the next performance cycle. However, it should be noted that those team members that do not achieve their performance agreements should be equipped and trained to be able to meet the required standards.
It should now become clear that the ability of the MME to achieve its Corporate BSC, Unit BSC’s and individual PA’s are fundamentally based on the ability of management to lead people towards achieving the strategic imperatives. It also hinges on the ability of management to define standards and benchmarks and to clearly define the performance expectations for each individual going forward. This will inevitably result in a performance based culture at the MME, which will yield a high return on investment.

13. BSC Automation In this section examples of information systems are provided with an indication of costs and benefits.
13.1. Automation Benefits Automation is a powerful enabler for BSC implementation - for analyses, evaluation and interpretation; to gain management insights; to learn; to make better decisions.
Automation allows data integration, facilitates collaboration & communication, can save time and make the BSC simpler & more user friendly.
Remember that the BSC is not an IT project.
Software is only an enabler and enhancer!
Furthermore, automation can help to:
• Ensure true Accountability & Ownership: Owners are assigned for every objective, measure and initiative; Alerts managers of underperformance and of late data; Provides one-click email to owners
• Drive Improvement Actions / Projects: Prompts owners to issue explanations for underperformance - “why are measures underperforming?”; Guides owners to create improvement actions - “what are we doing to fix it?”; Alerts owners and managers to late initiative milestones - “we’re off track on our improvement initiative”
• Deploy Translated Strategy: Cascade & Communicate to lowest levels and across business lines on Scorecards for every business unit
• Deliver / Report the Right Data: Data integration tools for external feeds; Manual capture with alerts when due; Data entry templates ensure consistency; Delivers right data at right time; often with OLAP drill-down facilities.
Automation can be done in three main ways, viz.: 1. Excel Spreadsheets
2. Internet/web-based applications (through an ASP)
3. Intranet-based applications (software loaded on the MME server)

14. The Way Forward
It is recommended that MME take the following actions towards the successful implementation of the BSC: 1. Understand the content of this document and make the required improvements if
needed;
2. Request the OPM that the MME commence with the process of implementing the PMS by training senior management and staff on the 15 Modules;
3. Complete the individual performance contracts for all employees, based on the Unit Scorecards;
4. Choose an option for automation; it is recommended to initially use Excel spreadsheets for reporting progress with regard to Initiatives, PIs and Objectives per Unit.
5. Develop the format of the PI statements for automation;
6. Procure the services for the following:
• Development of PI Statements
• Development of Excel spreadsheets
• Support with data capturing, evaluation and reporting for say the first 6 or 12 months;
• Training of BSC staff in BSC implementation.

Annexure B: Example of an Initiative Statement
Before BSC implementation, the various Initiative Statements have to be developed, based on detailed initiative/project plans. The Project Management methodology as described in PMBOK of PMI is recommended.
Note that objective and its PIs and targets are achieved only through initiatives/projects. Projects are where the action is/where the resources are deployed and expended. It is therefore critical that each initiative is well initiated, planned, executed, controlled and closed by using the knowledge areas of Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, HR, Communication, Risk and Procurement Management.
Scope: What is included/excluded in implementing the PMS? Develop a work breakdown structure indicating project elements, stages and activities.
Time: What are the durations of these activities? What is their sequence? Develop a project schedule.
Cost: Based on the scope, schedule and resource requirements, what will be the cost? Develop a project budget per financial year.
Quality: How are we ensuring that the standards and service/product quality will be delivered? Develop a quality management plan.
Human Resources: Who are the people to fill the required project positions? Develop a HR Plan and build capacity.
Communications: What, how and how often will be communicated? Develop a project communication plan.
Risk: What are the risks involved in executing the project? What are their potential impacts and what should be our responses? Develop a risk management plan.
Procurement: Can we do all the work in the O/M/A or do we need to outsource some expertise or physical assets? Develop a procurement plan.
The example below is a presentation of a simple Initiative Statement – only measuring the time and cost of the project or initiative.
The example is taken from Objective C4: ‘More efficient business processes’. The Statement for Initiative C4.1: ‘Implement the various process improvements’ are presented on the following page.
