Keypoints

The Strategic Management Cycle Calendar provides a single list for Directors General and Chief Executives which identifies their statutory and administrative requirements that occur each year for Cluster and agency planning, budgeting, service delivery and reporting.

This year’s calendar has been re-formatted to reflect the agreed high level roles of the Strategic Centre agencies including the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), NSW Treasury, Department of Finance and Services (DFS) and the Public Service Commission (PSC):

• DPC – Focuses on performance and priorities including policies, initiatives and events
• NSW Treasury – Focuses on effective financial and economic management
• DFS – Focuses on policy reform of, and delivers, enabling functions
• PSC – Focuses on people management, capability and workforce development

The calendar also includes other key dates in relation to the Parliamentary calendar as well as other events and consists of an indicative month-by-month summary of when important requirements need to be met plus links to websites which provide public sector requirements in detail, if available.

It can be found on the website of the Department of Premier and Cabinet in the publications section at www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/publications/the_strategic_management_cycle. The calendar has been produced as a PDF file for easy printing.

The Strategic Management Cycle is specifically relevant to Budget Sector Departments and agency clusters and is likely to also be useful to non-Budget agencies.
