South African Institute of Security Business Plan 2013 - 2014 Revision No.: 00 South African Institute of Security Business Plan 2013 - 2014 1.0. Introduction The purpose of our Business Plan is to give practical expression to the achievement of the Aim/Vision and Objectives of the South African Institute of Security (SAIS). Central to this Business Plan are a number of Key Performance Areas (KPAs), which are selected by the Institute’s Board of Governors as priority areas of focus for each year. The success of the Board of Governors is largely determined to the extent that the Key Performance Indicators of each KPA are achieved and is an indicator of the commitment of the individual Governors to the profession with we serve. Integral to the Business Plan is the Institute’s Budget, which provides detail about the projected financial resources available for the achievement of our Business Plan. 2.0. Business Plan Drivers The South African Institute of Security’s Aim/Vision and Objectives, as articulated in our Constitution, are the overall drivers for our Business Plan. Our Aim/Vision is to promote individual professional competence and to support the maintenance and enhancement of this competence by security practitioners and aspiring professionals.

[P]romote within the Private Security Industry security Skills Development. Education and development, and security tertiary education. Inspire trust among the public at large through raising issues with proactive and innovative perspectives that focus on the needs of the public for safety and security. Identify and attract credible serious-minded and independent persons who will give the Institute the opportunity to interact, build, and nurture valuable professional social contacts that will propagate its objectives, formulate solutions and participate in the great debates of the day. Actively support the relevant statutory authorities’ activities to minimise legal noncompliance in the security education, training and development field. The specific Key Performance Areas (KPAs) of our Business Plan flow from our Objectives. These KPAs are determined by specific issues which are relevant, or which will require addressing during the forthcoming year. The theme for this Business Plan is to be “Transformation to Professionalism”. The broad focus area will be to transform the South African Institute of Security along a path to position it as a professional body for the security professional in South Africa. For the period to 30 June 2014, the Board of Governors has identified the following KPAs as areas warranting specific attention (in no particular order of precedence): Corporate Governance – The key focus here is to ensure that the institute is constituted and operated in accordance with the requirements of good corporate governance. This will require an assessment of the extent to which the Board meets the appropriate requirements of the King III Code on Good Corporate Governance (which is applicable to all organisations, including ours), and to develop and implement an action plan to ensure compliance with those areas where it does not comply. Of importance to the Institute are the findings of the Ministerial Committee of Enquiry into the affairs of Cricket South Africa (“CSA”), Chaired by Judge Nicholson. Commonly known as the Nicholson Enquiry, certain key findings were made in respect of governance within organisations. Education, Training and Professional Development – This area is the raison d’être of the Institute, and this year’s focus areas include the establishment and implementation of our Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPDP) and initiating and driving the process, through the Security Industry Alliance (SIA), for the establishment of a Professional Body for the South African security industry. Professional Accreditation – The purpose here is to be in a position to assess the security competence of members and accredit them with the appropriate designation in accordance with the Institute’s Constitution. Membership Development – Healthy membership levels are key to the existence of the Institute, not only to ensure financial stability, but also to promote and support the activities of the Institute. However, a focus also needs to be on the qualitative aspects of membership. Finance – A strong financial position permits to Institute to play its appropriate role of supporting the development of the security profession and industry through its Business Plan. Document No. BP.2013 Revision No. 00 Date 2013-08-20 Page No. 2 of 5 South African Institute of Security Business Plan 2013 - 2014 International Liaison – Benchmarking one’s own processes and activities is important for any organisation to improve. Therefore, SAIS will seek to build mutuallybeneficial relationships internationally with like-minded organisations, for the benefit of our members and potentially of security professionals world-wide. These KPAs are detailed further, by way of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), in the next section of our Business Plan. Forms of measurement, the allocation of deadlines and responsibilities are attached to each KPI, to ensure that, overall, the Business Plan is properly managed by the Institute’s Board of Governors under the Chairman’s direction. No Business Plan is cast in stone and given that the business environment is dynamic, it is possible that circumstances may result in changes to this Business Plan to better reflect the needs of the Institute and those it represents. 3.0.
