Serbisyong Galing sa Puso

The DSWD adopted the Performance Governance System (PGS) Pathway in pursuit of continued excellence as it relentlessly realize its vision, fulfill its mandate, and exemplify an improved quality of governance through its core values—Maagap at Mapagkalingang Serbisyo; Serbisyong Walang Puwang sa Katiwalian; at Patas na Pagtrato sa Komunidad. With a long-term goal, the DSWD along the PGS Pathways, aims to succeed in improving its service to the public with its Strategy Journey:

"Puso at Galing sa Serbisyo,

Serbisyong Galing sa Puso"

The Strategy Map is the visual representation of the Department's Strategy. It shows how the organization intends to realize its vision and implement its mission that is founded on its core values. In order to do this, it must ensure that its Strategic Focus or position leads to a valuable contribution to the national government's poverty reduction efforts, also known as the agency's organizational outcomes. Reaching its Strategic Focus requires delivering its Core Process Roadmaps. These contain the Major Final Outputs of the Department that outline the goods and services for its clients. To make it possible, it also contains the Support Process Roadmaps which entails organizational transformation and improvements, to ensure that the outputs delivered lead to reform and breakthroughs.

Refreshed Strategy Design

Following the Strategy Review in December 2021, Strategy Refresh sessions with the management were conducted to produce a refreshed strategy that is responsive to the new context in pursuit of the DSWD mandate. This means, a refinement of strategic position and roadmaps in order to produce the intended breakthroughs.

The Strategic Focus on the steering (enabling role) and rowing (implementing role) of the Department remained, but with a new position along disaster management. It primarily aims for an improved disaster response capability of the DSWD.

This development paved way for the Disaster Management Roadmap as additional Core Process Roadmap which carries both the steering and rowing mandate of the Department.
