Challenge
SLRB organises, registers and documents all survey activities (including base mapping, boundary and hydrographic) as well as property transactions in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The organisation aims to be the definitive geospatial provider in the region.
This project involved a number of key challenges:
- Introducing a strategic vision for delivering and embedding long-term business growth.
- Fitting into the Bahrain 2030 Economic Vision and meeting the needs of stakeholders.
- Putting positive, sustainable and tangible change into action.
- Identifying and justifying investment requirements and budget submissions.
Solution
Ordnance Survey collaborated with SLRB and their stakeholders to establish the existing strategic position and establish stakeholder expectations of SLRB in future.
We agreed a new vision and suite of critical success factors for SLRB, so senior leaders had the building blocks required to grow their geospatial and land administration capability and capacity. We also created a strategic roadmap, which provided SLRB with a practical tool to implement their new vision and strategy.
To ensure the new vision and strategy weren’t developed in isolation – we continually engaged stakeholders in the transformation programme.
Result
- This project provided a platform for SLRB to make changes to their organisational structure and culture for the better.
- The collaborative working approach has ensured the new strategy is comprehensive, considered and sustainable across Bahrain.
- SLRB’s role and remit has been formally established in Government.
