Civil Service To Cut Down On The Waste
By Laila Rahman

Bandar Seri Begawan - Based on the research made by the Civil Service Institute's training officers a few years ago, it was found that in just three months, resources had been wasted due to a lack of participants for a particular course.

The course, which involved bringing in consultants into the Sultanate and was part of a series, cost about $80,000.

This was disclosed during a Six-Sigma Seminar at the Civil Service Institute by its Director, DrAzaharaini Hj Mohd Jamil, in his welcoming remarks.

Specially held for the heads of government departments and senior officers, the objective of the event was to introduce the course's contents.

He added that due to the inefficiency, _the institute will identify new methods or strategies to ensure that it would not - happen again and make the course more worthwhile in the future.

Working towards this aim, a proposal has been made whereby a ministry has to commit itself to the course for managing or solving problems beforehand.

Dr Azaharaini also mentioned that the waste of resources occurred as participants were not that interested and rather forced to attend the course.

Knowledge and skills gained therefore were only at a minimal level. He concluded his speech by welcoming any opinions from the ministries and departments on improving partnership, training and team-based projects, as part of the institute's objective is to assist them.

The guest speaker for the seminar meanwhile was Mr Lim Yu Been, a consultant from Singapore, who discussed the different aspects of Six-Sigma. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
