Background

There are three initiatives to address the challenges of Capacity Building in the Federal Civil Service:

Perform capability gaps assessment across entire civil service
Launch service skills gap assessment to understand baseline skill levels across the civil service, and identify and prioritize their closure
Re-design and re-launch 3 core training modules including top talent programme LEAD-P1 and identifying a ‘LEAD-P Presidential Cohort’ to cultivate as next generation of leaders in service:

A diagnostic highlights that:
training modules have not been reviewed since inception (reviews should be every 3-5 years) and
module administration does not adopt key principles of adult learning beyond lectures e.g., interactive software, on-the-job learning

To streamline content, ensure it meets skills gaps and development needs, and infuse new thinking on public service, a 6-week review of modules in partnership w/ MDIs and selected Nigerian universities should be launched Moreover to re-enforce succession planning, and develop a culture of leadership, the service must modify and re-institute LEAD-P, its top talent program. Going forward from the LEAD-P graduates, a ‘Presidential Cohort’ will be cultivated and deployed to tackle national issues.

CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMMES AND STRTAEGIC WORKSHOPS
The changing global and national economic landscape, requires a management team that is proactive rather than reactive in shaping the future. Such leadership, beyond understanding the dynamics of change and business management, must formulate responsive options and develop reliable strategies based on sustainable global practices.

At TL First Group, we support public institutions in generating solutions to development and service delivery challenges. The Strategic Retreat and Workshop will cover the following topics:
The Nigerian Civil Service and Extant Rules
Global best practices in delivering reforms in the Civil Service
Creating and leading a culture of change in the Nigerian Civil Service
Enabling and delivering the Presidential Next Level Agenda
Ministry deliverables for all Ministers/Ministries, Permanent Secretaries and Agencies
Cascading deliverables and developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Promoting Cross-Ministry collaboration to create value for Nigeria and Nigerians
Self-development and leadership skills for Permanent Secretaries
Workforce Management and promoting intrapreneurship within the Civil Service
