Thursday, June 24, 2004 – As the Public Sector continues to implement the
process of modernisation as part of changes taking place under the Public Sector
Reform initiative, heads of departments from the Inland Revenue and the
Ministries of Commerce and Tourism, brought the curtains down on a two day
retreat on Leadership Development, which began on Monday June 21, 2004.
Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Commerce, Investment and Consumer
Affairs Ms. Allison Jean, said that Heads of Departments were integral to the
process of ushering in a new paradigm of corporate leadership.
“We are moving away from the mundane public service orientation into a more
flexible, more dynamic, more corporate focussed, more customer oriented type of
regime; so all of these activities are geared towards that. As you know, we are
repositioning ourselves, we are reorienting ourselves and as such, we have to
reorient our skills in order to achieve that,” she said.
Currently, the Ministry of Commerce has designated a special team headed by
local consultant, Mrs. Agnes Francis with the task of developing a new strategic
plan for the Ministry.
