Updated MRRS Policy

There has been an update to the Policy on Management, Resources and Results Structures (MRRS). The updated policy took effect on December 20, 2008.

The updated policy is available here:

The old policy is available here:

Overall, I would say the new update improves the policy. What I consider the core of the policy, the core requirements which used to be under 7.1, and are now under 6.1.1 haven't changed in the essence of their meaning.

The update adds more responsibilities for Deputy Heads related to the implementation of the policy, keeping the MRRS up-to-date, following proper procedures for updates, etc.

The updated policy also has a new section, 7. Consequences, describing consequences for untimely or unsatisfactory implementation of the policy.
