The progress of the Balanced
Scorecard (BSC) Project has improved
and the rollout is underway. The
strategy maps have been completed
and the process is now at the stage of
developing measures. Further, through
the alignment of the Accounting
Officer’s strategic objectives with the
DOD’s strategic maps, as contained
in the systemic evaluation instrument
that has been adopted by the DOD,
the Balanced Scorecard has been
promoted, supported and guided
through interactions at various strategic
levels during the financial year.
The Organisation Structure Design
(OSD) environment is currently
in the process of developing the
Joint General Publication (JGP)
on microstructuring, in line with
the guidelines received from the
Department of Public Service and
Administration (DPSA), namely the
“Guide on How to Design, Implement
and Maintain Organisational Structures
in the Public Service”.
The technical preparation project was
registered and implemented, with the
business objective of supporting DOD
business by preparing the environment
for the implementation of DOSS
through reducing the number of
interfaces or replacing them with a
single interface.
Other projects that are aimed at
improving effectiveness and efficiency
in the DOD, Project DOSS and Project
LOQUACIOUS, are progressing
fairly well despite the challenges these
projects are facing.
