The three lectures dwelt on general and technical concepts in green architecture that the PN can use in designing its buildings and structures to ensure comfort, beauty, sustainability, and energy and cost efficiency. Moreover, he emphasized the importance of taking nature and environment in consideration when designing buildings in choosing the site, the orientation, the utilities and materials of the building.

CNLE conducts Annual Planning and Assessment Workshop

The Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence conducted its Year-end Assessment and Annual Planning Workshop last 08-10 December 2011 at the Bayfront Hotel Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Subic, Zambales. The entire CNLE family participated in this workshop, which is also the Centers first major activity with its new Director, Capt Opiniano M Jayme Jr. First part of the workshop is the assessment session, wherein the 2011 plans and programs of the Center, drafted during last years planning session, were reviewed and evaluated to assess how well the Center performed. Areas for improvement were also identified. The mandate of the Center and the result of its assessment became the bases for its plans for 2012. These plans are reflected in the Centers Calendar of Activities for this year. The Approved CNLE Annual Plans and Budget for 2012 was also reviewed to determine whether the Centers planned activities are duly accounted for and coincides with the Centers budget allocation. The three-day workshop also served as a Team Building activity of CNLE as it welcomes its newly assigned Director. With the leadership and guidance of Capt Jayme, the Center looks forward to another productive and prolific year in 2012. (NDLR)

Elements of a Balanced Scorecard:

Strategic Initiatives
The last element of a balanced scorecard is the Strategic Initiative. The PN Sail Plan is implemented through the Strategic Initiatives. They are the key action programs and projects required to close the gap between the current and desired performance of our organization. They translate the broad Strategic Objectives into specific action plans. In the case of the Philippine Navy, there are 16 strategic initiatives. Shown on the right are the samples of the PNs strategic initiatives grouped according to the strategic objectives and perspectives they fit in. Strategic objectives, measures, targets, and strategic initiatives work as one in order to reach our vision. The strategic objectives define the components of our strategy. The measures and targets track our progress in achieving these strategic objectives. Lastly, the strategic initiatives bring the organization from its current performance to its desired end state.
