What is the Performance Governance System?
The Performance Governance System (PGS) is a holistic and collaborative
framework for designing, executing, monitoring, and sustaining roadmaps for
reform. PGS culls global best practices in managing strategy to meet the
rising needs of Philippine public sector institutions. It builds governance
reform capacities across a four-stage pathway and addresses a wide array
of challenges while also yielding a niched impact.
What is the four-stage pathway of the PGS?
The PGS pathway is composed of the following four stages: (1) Initiation, which
focuses on strategy design; (2) Compliance, which focuses on strategy
ex*****on; (3) Proficiency, which focuses on monitoring and evaluation of the
strategy; and (4) Institutionalization, which focuses on the attainment of
breakthrough results.
Specific hallmarks of each stage have also been identified to reflect the ideal
maturity of the PGS elements in the organization.
How is the PGS different from accreditation programs or certification programs?
While the PGS does have certifications for each stage in the PGS pathway, it is
primarily a governance system that touches on various aspects of how a
public institution manages its strategy. The work of the ISA primarily focuses
not just on checking the accomplishments of the organization but also on
handholding these institutions in putting in place identified governance
elements under the PGS program.
