CSIR Executive Visits Rosebank Office
Oct 24, 04:04 PM
Rosebank CSIR employees were honoured to welcome their executive leadership to their offices. The visit comes shortly after the extension of the CEOs (Dr Sibisi) term of office by another five-years.
The executive's visit came as part of a series of roadshows targeted at all CSIR offices around the country. The leadership shared the CSIR's current status, the direction and plan of action for the next five years. In a commissioned study, it became clear that the community acknowledged the work the CSIR is doing, but that they wanted to see more impact emanating from the research. They also felt that CSIR research was widely spread over thin resources.
Dr Sibisi said for the next five years the CSIR strategic initiatives will not change in direction, but would be twicked, to enable the organisation to become more impact driven. He provided three flagships that the different components of the organisation should focus their planning on namely: Water Sustainability, Health and Nutrition and Safety and Security.
CSIR Rosebank employees were also given the opportunity to exchange ideas with the executive on how the organisation could become have more impact.
