To successfully position the School to deliver on the Treasury Board Policy on Learning, Training and Development, the School is strengthening corporate infrastructure and investing in its human resource capacity. These actions will help to ensure the School can design learning programs aligned with public service priorities and provide high-quality learning activities and services.
The successful implementation of systems, processes and infrastructure to support the School's operations is a focal point for Corporate Services activities. Highlighted below are the details of the results to be achieved during the planning period for by Program Sub-Activity.
A fifteen-member Board of Governors with public sector and private sector representation is responsible for the conduct and management of the School's affairs. A key priority for the Board in 2007-08 will be developing a meeting cycle that is closely integrated with the School's planning and reporting cycles. This in turn will support a renewed role for the Board of Governors, in which Board members have the opportunity to challenge the School's priorities and strategic directions, to hold the School accountable for its performance and results achieved, and to help shape the School's future with cutting-edge ideas and best practices drawn from business, academia, and the private sector.
The School will continue to strengthen its strategic planning function during the planning period. It will support a renewed strategic planning framework and coordinate the processes and reporting requirements which support the framework. This initiative will be facilitated by the implementation of an integrated business planning process for 2007-08 and future years. Focus on corporate priorities and horizontal coordination will allow for strengthened policy integration and cohesion across program areas. The School will continue to enhance its strategic capacity to meet its mandate and ensure effective corporate-level results-based management of relations and horizontal coordination with portfolio partners.
The School's communications and business marketing function ensures that the School's key directions and priorities are effectively communicated and that the School's products and services are effectively marketed. Key activities for the planning period will be:
A robust registration and integrated learner management system is needed to support the registration of learners, data analysis, and management reporting identified in the Policy on Learning, Training and Development. The School will continue to work towards accessing funding for this system, including finalizing complete detailed plans and acquiring a system during the planning period.
The Registration and learning reporting group will continue its ongoing activities:
In addition to the ongoing registration and reporting activities, specific priorities for the planning period include:
Enhance the relevance, quality and performance of the School's learning, training and leadership programs and services through a rigorous program of evaluations, performance measures and quality assessments consistent with policy and accountability requirements as well as the School's' priorities.
Activities for the planning period include
The Canada School of Public Service is a national school, delivering learning products and services across the country. The School's regional offices build relationships with Regional Federal Councils and regional operations of departments and agencies to support the learning needs of federal regional operations and enhance the presence and effective delivery of the range of the School's programming across the country.
During the planning period, the Regional Secretariat will continue to support regional delivery by:
To fulfill its essential responsibilities in this environment of growth, change and accountability Corporate Services must continue to respond to the needs of the School for essential back office services (finance, information technology and administrative services) as well as support and guide the School in its commitment to being a model of modern best practices in the for managing of all aspects of its programs. In an organization that is becoming increasingly connected through complex networks and systems with other organizations, responding horizontally to the needs of the School and others has become more complex.
Delivery of this higher level of performance requires organizational excellence, integrated services, better customer knowledge along with effective alignment of human resources strategies and management accountability. Corporate Services will continue to focus on seamless, responsive and timely service delivery of support of the School's management operational objectives in accordance with Government of Canada standards. These form the basis for Corporate Services' strategic objectives over this planning period.
Priorities for the planning period include:
Major functions in support of the School's corporate services priorities within the various sectors are as follows:
Financial Services
Information Management and Technology
Administrative Services
Human Resources are a focal point for the School in providing an effective HR policy framework and state of the art human resources services.
Important initiatives for 2007-08 include:
The School will continue to develop a renewed approach to internal audit that is: compliant with the new Treasury Board policy on internal audit; consistent with its new business model; and supportive of the Board of Governor's revitalized role. Based on the corporate risk profile, a risk-based internal audit plan will be developed and will be used to strengthen our internal audit capacity.
