Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) The implications of inaccurate information 18 March 2008
Clients/users of information • Parliament • Cabinet and Cabinet Clusters • PCC • DG Cluster • Executing Officer • DG/HOD’s • Policy developers • HR Practitioners • Line managers • Citizens – Media, NGO’s
What information do they use? • Trends • Comparative • Correlations • Performance • Identify areas of intervention • Policies or policy changes • Support • Allocation/prioritisation of resources
Practical implications • MPSA seen as central point for HR Management • Not enough time to collect info from departments – (7 days Parl questions) • Impractical if system exists
Impact on decisions • Bad policies • Over/under spending • Assistance/resources allocated in wrong areas • Collapse in service delivery • Wrong perceptions created/strengthened
Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) Thank You
Challenges • Resources • People – numbers, skills • Funding • Processes • Systems • Areas • Short term systems interventions • Management of systems • Management information
