The Competition Authority's Strategy

The Competition Authority bases its operations on clear strategic planning that is regularly reviewed and founded on clear objectives. The strategy is based on the following key elements:

• A human resources policy which ensures that the Competition Authority always has a select team of staff at its disposal, who enjoy first-class working conditions, continuing professional development and equality.
• Internal processes that promote professionalism
• A clearer view of the results of the organisation's projects

The Competition Authority implements its policy by setting objectives and seeking to establish metrics for these objectives, which are regularly monitored. This work is based on the methodology of performance management (e.g. “balanced scorecard”) which involves, among other things, the organisation having established a so-called strategy map, where its main objectives are set out in four pillars of its operations, namely finance, human resources, internal processes and outcomes.

The Competition Authority has developed metrics based on the more detailed objectives of the strategy map. Furthermore, the Authority has developed measurable criteria to monitor the performance of its activities and to shape its priorities based on performance. To this end, the Competition Authority has adopted and adapted its case management and data systems, as well as its systematic project time-keeping.
