WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY M.R. SCOTT OF ST. BRELADE QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 26th JUNE 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd JULY 2023
Question
“Will the Chief Minister provide details of any training given to States Members and staff within the Cabinet Office and the Strategic Policy, Planning and Performance Department on the following areas –
- 8D problem-solving and the drafting of problem statements; and
- closed loop processes;
and will she explain the extent, if any, to which these processes are used in the production of Government policy
Answer
The Government of Jersey has introduced its own Policy Profession standards and processes, in order to ensure that Ministers are provided with world class advice and support. This has included developing new Policy Professional Standards at all grades, with clear routes for career progression for islanders. It has led to introducing new training and experiences to upskill civil servants in a range of policy strategies and techniques, including how to define the scope of new areas of policy and how to problem solve. This has been supported by an academic partnership with the prestigious King’s College of London’s International School of Government.
With regards to the particular techniques referenced in a) and b), no programmed training on these two methods is provided as standard, although some individuals may have had this training.
