The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), has organised a training session on training on balanced scorecard performance for the directors and senior management staff of the agency.
The training which held yesterday in collaboration with management consulting firm, Balanced Scorecard West Africa, was themed; ‘Balanced Scorecard Performance Management System’.
Declaring the session open, the director general and chief executive officer of NiMet, Prof. Charles Anosike said that management has prioritized staff welfare and capacity development as part of performance management in line with the seven-point agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and also in line with the performance bond signed with the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr Festus Keyamo and agencies in the aviation ministry which emphasized the development of human capacity within the aviation industry.
Recall that Keyamo had said during the performance bond signing that “This will be a basis upon which regular appraisals will be done”.
Continuing, Professor Anosike said; “We are starting a new journey at NiMet as we prepare to roll out a balanced scorecard performance management system. It is one of the global management tools that organizations use to translate strategy into performance. This workshop will help us to improve our strategy formulation, our ability to formulate strategies, and make way for enduring creativity in the agency”.
He said that the balanced scorecard performance management system enables organizations to communicate strategy clearly to all stakeholders.
He said, “Value-creation activities in organizations are no longer strictly measured in the tangible things and fixed assets of the firm etc. Instead, value lies in the ideas of people in the organization, in service delivery and supplier relationships, in key information databases, and in cultures capable of innovation and continually delivering quality. We can come together at NiMet to solve our problems and create value in never-imagined ways”.
Professor Anosike further, “I urge every one of us at NiMet, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to embrace performance management as a foundation for improving performance. Strategy dictates the path forward. It is not the change effort itself that is likely to cause the failure. It is always the execution and development, the implementation, execution and development”.
