Can we still do EPDS if unit/branch/section/division strategic plans are not finalized yet?
Yes. Although it is ideal to coordinate the EPDS planning phase with the strategic planning cycle, this is not always possible. The EPDS is designed to promote ongoing dialogue between you and your direct employees based on information and operational requirements that have been identified. The EPDS is intended to be a living document and, as such, can be adjusted once strategic planning processes have been completed.
