MCKINSEY REPORT RECOMMENDS FAR REACHING CHANGES
Far-reaching changes to the existing central government structure
in Hong Kong, including a regrouping of secretariat branch responsibilities
and wider delegation of authority, are proposed by the management consultants
appointed last year by the Governor to assess the best use of staff resources.
In their final report, tabled in the Legislative Council today,
the consultants suggest three basic approaches for improving the government's
capability to meet the requirements of growth in the future.
These involve:
Strengthening the existing machinery without making radical changes.
Introducing new procedures so that executive
activities, which are performed mainly by the decentralised government departments, could be
managed more in terms of the results they produce instead of in terms of the resources they use, and
Improving personnel management so that skilled staff can be obtained and the potential of those
already in service more fully developed.
Some of their suggestions in relation to these three approaches are
already being tried in various departments.
