Review of Corporate Vision/Mission and Strategy

Review of Corporate Vision/Mission and Strategy

The PDIC Board of Directors approved the corporate Performance Evaluation Scorecard (PES) for 2015 - 2019 in July 2014. The corporate PES for the years 2016-2017, as approved by the Board last 22 July 2015, were submitted to the Governance Commission for Government-Owned or-Controlled Corporations (GCG) in compliance with the requirements for the 2016 Performance Agreement Negotiation. In early August to late September of 2015, PDIC conducted a strategic planning exercise to update its corporate PES to cover the period 2016-2020.

The corporate PES 2016-2020 was approved by the PDIC Board in its meeting last 21 October 2015. The planning workshop included a presentation of the revised Vision statement and Strategy Map of PDIC. These were submitted to the GCG and became part of the Performance Agreement on 3 November 2015.

In compliance with GCG's call for the conduct of a Technical Panel Meeting (TPM) covering CY 2018 under Memorandum Circular No. 2017-02, PDIC conducted a strategic planning exercise in September 2017 to formulate the Performance Scorecard (PS) for 2018-2020. The said PS was presented to and approved by the PDIC Board on 20 September 2017, which included a presentation of the Vision and Mission Statements. The proposed PS was modified based on the discussions made during the Technical Panel Meeting held on 21 November 2017. Upon approval by the PDIC Board, the PS for 2018-2020 was submitted to the GCG on 22 December 2017.

In September 2018, PDIC conducted a series of pre-planning workshops to: a) revisit the Vision and Mission Statements and Roadmap; and b) review and extend the PS for 2018-2020 up to 2023 (5 years), taking into consideration the internal and external developments that impact on PDIC operations, Board directives and accomplishments on the 2018 PS as of 30 June 2018.

The strategic planning outputs namely, the Vision and Re-stated Mission Statements, Updated Roadmap and PS for 2019-2023 were presented to the PDIC Board of Directors for discussion on 19 September 2018. Based on the results of the discussion, the proposed PS for 2019-2023 was finalized. Upon approval by the PDIC Board on 25 September 2018, the PS for 2019-2023 was submitted to the GCG on 28 September 2018.

The PDIC Board of Directors and Top Management, in collaboration with the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), reviewed the Vision, Mission and Core Values of the Corporation on 11-12 September 2019. The revitalized Vision statement, a clearer Mission statement and reinforced set of Core Values, together with the updated Strategic Objectives for 2020-2023, paved the way for the organization's blueprint for the next four years-the PDIC Strategy Map. The objectives that were established based on the four important perspectives namely, learning and growth, internal processes, customers/stakeholders and financial, will drive the Corporation's performance aimed to add value to PDIC stakeholders.

On 15 October 2019, during the Technical Panel Meeting with the GCG, PDIC submitted the Board-approved Strategy Map containing the Vision and Mission Statements, Core Values, and Strategic Objectives and the Performance Evaluation System. In a letter dated 20 January 2020, the GCG transmitted the Board-approved Strategy Map and the Performance Scorecard 2020 with modification. The document was received by PDIC on 4 February 2020. On 21 February 2020, PDIC sent a request for reconsideration on four Strategic Measures (SM). PDIC received GCG's response on 3 March 2020, noting that it took into consideration the justifications presented by PDIC in its request for performance scorecard modification and the supporting documents during the validation of PDIC's accomplishments for 2020.

In view of the pandemic, the Board reviewed the Performance Scorecard that will impact on the achievement of the Strategic Objectives and the Corporate Vision. On 22 July 2020, the Board approved the proposed revisions to the PS 2020 that take into account the impact of Covid-19 as well as the economic environment and developments especially in the health sector. On 30 July 2020, PDIC submitted the Board-approved revised PS 2020 to the GCG together with a request for a meeting to discuss the proposed revisions. On 7 August 2020, GCG requested other documents relevant to the impact of COVID - 19 to PDIC operations. These documents were submitted to the GCG on 24 August 2020.

On 3 September 2020, in a meeting between PDIC and the GCG, the latter mentioned that they would issue a Notice to GOCCs on the Recalibration of Targets in the 2020 PS. GCG informed PDIC that it has already submitted most of the documents being required and that PDIC can just refer to the original submission requesting for the revisions to the 2020 PS and submit the additional requirements and updates on financial documents.

On 4 September 2020, GCG issued a Notice to all GOCCs on the Recalibration of Targets in the 2020 PS of GOCCs. On 21 September 2020, PDIC submitted to the GCG the required additional documents.

On 30 September 2020, the PDIC Board of Directors approved the additional revisions to the PDIC Code of Corporate Governance (CCG), which consist of the inclusion of the amended PDIC Vision, Mission, Quality Policy and Core Values. The revised PDIC CCG was submitted to the Governance Commission on 8 October 2020.

The GCG-approved PDIC Recalibrated 2020 Performance Scorecard dated 7 December 2020 was then transmitted by GCG to PDIC and subsequently posted on PDIC website.

In compliance with GCG's call for the conduct of Technical Panel Meeting for the 2022 PES, the PDIC Board, with the assistance of the ICD, conducted a Strategic Planning session with the PDIC Management from 22 June 2021 to 18 August 2021 to revisit the Vision and Mission Statements, and set the Strategy Map for 2022 - 2023, taking into consideration the internal and external developments that impact on PDIC operations. During the Strategic Planning, the Vision Statement was revised to give emphasis as a leading institution in governance, recognized for its operational excellence in depositor protection and responsiveness to changing times. During the strategic planning session, in addition to the existing Balanced Scorecard Perspectives of Financial, Customers/Stakeholders, Internal Process and Learning and Growth, the perspective on Socio-Economic Impact was included to highlight PDIC societal contribution. Likewise, giving importance to PDIC's role in times of crisis, the theme Crisis Readiness was added to its Strategy Map. The revised Vision, updated Strategy Map and proposed PES for 2022 - 2023 were approved by the PDIC Board last 25 August 2021 (Board Resolution No. 2021-08-107). The same was used in the Technical Panel Meeting with the GCG conducted on 3 November 2021.

In preparation for GCG's call for the conduct of Technical Panel Meeting for the 2023 PES, the Board, in a Strategic Planning session with the PDIC Management on 10 August 2022 conducted a review of the PDIC's Vision, Mission and Strategy Map. The Performance Scorecard 2023-2024 which provides for the Strategic Objectives (SOs) that support the attainment of the Vision was approved by the Board, along with the reviewed Strategy Map on 24 August 2022.

PDIC thereafter conducted a series of planning activities from the first week of March 2023 to the third week of May 2023 to review PDIC's Vision, Mission and the Medium-Term Strategy Map.

On 23 May 2023, the proposed Strategy Map, 2024-2028 Corporate Strategic Plan and 2024 Performance Scorecard including the Strategic Initiatives to support the Strategic Objectives (SOs) and Strategic Measures (SMs) were presented to the Board for their comments/final pass. These were approved by the Board on 14 June 2023 and 27 June 2023.

Board Appraisal

Board Appraisal

The Board of the Directors conducts an assessment of its performance as a functioning unit through a self-assessment process. Here, assessment is done with the help of a questionnaire which each Director must accomplish. There are ten items in each criterion with a rating scale from 0 to 10 (being the highest) and the total points are rated from 0 to 100 points (100 as Outstanding and below 60 as Unsatisfactory). The criteria in the assessment are based on attributes relating to the role of the Board as a whole and the role of an individual Board member.

The Board of Directors likewise conducts an annual assessment of its performance using the Performance Evaluation for Directors (PED) System prescribed in GCG Memorandum Circular (M.C) No. 2014-03. The said circular states the process and criteria used to evaluate the performance of the directors. One of the components of the PED System is the Directors Performance Review (DPR), wherein the Directors accomplish self-appraisal and peer-appraisal forms through http://iped.gcg.gov.ph or the internet-based PED System.
