Message by the Governor

The Governor, Ms. Helen Kilpatrick, CB

I congratulate the Deputy Governor on his stewardship in delivering the first multi-year strategy to improve the way that the Civil Service operates and delivers its core services.

This Strategic Plan has been informed through the participation of hundreds of stakeholders both within and outside of the Civil Service, who dared to re-imagine the Civil Service at its best. Their vision is clear – to create a World-Class Civil Service built upon the pillars of enhancing customer experience, fostering effective leadership, investing in internal training and development, improving communications and strengthening good governance.

This Strategic Plan is geared towards ensuring a prudent approach to managing public resources and delivering results on behalf of the people and Government of the Cayman Islands. 

This is the first step in an important journey for civil servants to personally commit to being better at delivering positive results for these Islands. Based upon their many recent successes which include achieving annual fiscal surpluses, enhancing employee productivity and improving governance and accountability, I am optimistic about what the future holds for this team and these Islands.
