Alignment of the APB

Deliberation with the Sail

Plan. Besides the cascad-

ing process of the Sail

Plan to all PN units and

personnel, alignment

process of the Sail Plan

also involves the integra-

tion of the organization’s

strategy with the annual

budgeting process.

To ensure that all PN

Units and Offices will con-

tribute in paving the way

for the PN to be a strong

and credible Navy by

2020, the Center for Na-

val Leadership and Excel-

lence (CNLE) and the

other members of the

HPN Staff worked hand-

in-hand during the An-

nual Plan and Budget

(APB) Deliberation for

CY 2012.

Members of the

Budget Working Group

(BWG) were keen in as-

sessing the proposed

programs, projects and

activities of all PN Units

and Offices against the

strategy laid out in the

PN Sail Plan. More de-

tails on the APB Delib-

eration and BWG will be

discussed on the next

issue of The Naval

Leader.

Sail Plan Conference.

Chief of the Sail Plan

Elements of a Balanced Scorecard: Strategic Objectives

We have

discussed the

different con-

cepts in-

volved in the

cascading

process of

the PN Strate-

gic Sail Plan

2020 in the

past three

issues of The

Naval

Leader. These

are 1) the

Value Chain,

2) Customer

Value Propo-

sition, and 3)

Strategic Shift

Agenda. Once these are

identified, the unit/

organization will now be

able to formulate its bal-

anced scorecard.

One of the elements

of a balanced score-

card was already identi-

fied as part of the strate-gic shift – the Strategic

Objectives. Strategic

Objectives are action

statements that clarify

how an organization will

implement its strategy.

They are statements of

what the strategy must

achieve and what is

critical to its success.

They define the specific

goals to be achieved

towards the attainment

of the organization’s

vision.

In the case of the

PN, there are 12 strate-

gic objectives that are

employed to achieve

the vision of becoming a

strong and credible

Navy that our maritime

nation can be proud of.

Shown above are

the PN’s strategic objec-

tives grouped according

to the perspectives they

fit in. The FOIC,PN Bal-

anced Scorecard also

specifies the Staff that is

primarily responsible for

overseeing the achieve-

ment of each of the Stra-

tegic Objectives.
