CSC wins another Governance Trailblazer Award

MANILA, Philippines - The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has received its third Governance Trailblazer Award for exceptional performance towards good governance through its performance governance system (PGS).

Chairman Francisco Duque III recently presented the CSC’s accomplishments, milestones, and breakthroughs in a public revalidation for its proficiency in PGS and garnered a score of 8.81 out of a perfect 10. The Governance Trailblazer Award is conferred to government agencies or units that garner a score of 8.5 to 9.2 in the performance report.

The CSC received its first Silver Trailblazer Award in October 2011.

The second Silver Trailblazer Award was conferred in March 2013 for CSC’s high performance report rating in the public governance forum.

The CSC began its governance journey in 2010 when it adopted the PGS, a local adaptation of Norton and Kaplan’s revolutionary balanced scorecard system as advocated by the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA).

There are four stages in the PGS governance pathway, namely, initiation, compliance, proficiency, and institutionalization. The PGS translates the organization’s vision into strategies through scorecards down to the different levels of the organization.
