The Samoa High Commission Corporate Plan 2012-2015 was officially launched at a lunch with staff. Developed over the course of four months, the Plan sets out what the mission wants to achieve and how it will measure its progress over the coming years. High Commissioner to Wellington, Leasi Papali’i Tommy Scanlan believes the Plan will help to better align the strategic objectives and targets of the mission with that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. “As well as the big picture stuff, the corporate plan will ensure that our daily operations contribute to the overall strategic goals. It will guide us on strategic decision making and will help us to measure the impact of our work.”
