• Lack of clearly defined and communicated Information Architecture principles that inhibit the effective implementation of Information Management within the department. Roadmap Different technologies will have to be employed to realise the Information Management Concept. These technologies would be, including the different elements required for each technology. Adequate resources are therefore required to implement the roadmap: Policy Development The formulation and implementation of sound and rational policies in require structured and rational decision making that needs to be managed throughout in order to achieve the desired outcomes on time, on specification and on budget. In this regard, a coordinated approach to policy making will be implemented by the department and championed by Strategic Management Unit. Performance Improvement Over the years, the Performance of DPW has been declining from being the best performing to a non performing department, due to a number of external and internal influences. The performance of Public Works in the delivery of projects left the employees and client departments in limbo, as to when the department is expected to reposition itself and make a paradigm shift in the right direction. With the onset of the Infrastructure Cluster, a new MEC, newly appointed HOD and support from all sectors of the province, an ideal opportunity has presented itself to direct the strategies of the department to the right direction. In the past client departments identified projects to be implemented and submitted a list at the wrong time of the financial year, which did not follow any particular format, did not have adequate budgets and with incorrect timeframes for implementation 30
With the introduction of IDIP (Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme) in the province three years ago, best practices methodologies were introduced which guided departments on how to prepare IPMP and IPIP. It is with this understanding of the best practice methodology that Department of Public Works is intending to improve on implementing projects for client departments. In order for the department to deliver on its mandate, a turn around strategy is developed to ensure effective, efficient service delivery. The LDPW has been working tirelessly towards bringing all infrastructure delivery back within its mandate and control by capacitating itself across all the functions. Change Interventions The department is busy with a number of change interventions in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery of provincial infrastructure. Some of the interventions being adopted are as discussed in the next paragraphs. Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Program With the introduction of IDIP in the province three years ago, best practices methodologies were introduced which guided departments on how to prepare IPMP and IPIP. This at the same time will ensure forward planning of infrastructure projects. A 15 year draft Infrastructure Integration Plan – first phase was developed and completed. The department will be developing the second phase of the infrastructure integrated plan. The second phase will look at the following: • implementing the recommendations of phase 1 • Prioritisation of projects across sector departments; • Integrated planning at a Municipal level; • Integrated project funding; 31
