Strategic Planning Made Easy the MIB Way
Over a dozen senior government
officers were taken off from their daily routine and sent back to Institut
Perkhidmatan Awam (IPA) classroom to refresh their knowledge in the disciplines
and processes in strategic planning.
The participants comprising
Division 1, B2 and B3 civil servants from various government agencies spent two
days behind their desks learning the ropes in strategic management and on how
to use proper tools and techniques in strategic planning.
The two-day workshop on Strategic Planning was conducted by PPP Ilmu Alim, a local management consultancy firm. It is part of IPA's many training programs in facilitating government continuous efforts to enhance the capabilities and competencies of civil servants in the public sector. Dato Paduka Malai Haji Ali Othman, the Principal Consultant of the firm was at hand to facilitate the training session.

The participants were put to task
in a challenging strategic planning process environment.
They were given assignments to crack their heads on problem solving techniques and on strategic analysis. Their case study interestingly is Brunei Vision 2035 and how each of their respective departments aligns its objectives, mission and vision in support of the bigger picture.
Brunei Vision 2035 education strategy, economic strategy, security strategy, local business development strategy, social security and so on and so forth came under their scrutiny.

But what are most interesting are
the methodologies and disciplines they applied in scrutinizing the issues.
The participants were reminded of the many management and training tools and practices that include six sigma, strategic and critical thinking, SWOT analysis.
While appreciating these tools, the participants were challenged to align these practices and were taught on how to apply the emotional and spiritual practices and gain the divine values of ‘INSAF’, ‘TAFAKUR’, ‘TAUBAT’ and ‘TAWAKAL’ in strategic planning, analysis and problem solving.

Also taken out from the teaching
of the al-Quran and Sunnah and use as an application in management is how to
apply the Islamic concepts of ‘WAJIB’ (MUST DO), ‘SUNAT’ (NEED TO DO) and
‘MAKROH’ (NICE TO DO) in prioritising issues and actions.
At the start of the workshop, participants were at first uneasy when they were told to recite the poem of Al Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien. The messages of the poem later hit home when they were told to study and deciphers it messages for good values in strategi planning and management.
“Oh yes it’s all here…good practice in management”, exclaimed some of the participants appreciating their new discovery. (For more pictures click here)
