In order for the department to implement its vision, five key changes have been made to the shareholder oversight processes: . The SOCs need to change their investment planning framework from one based on what their balance sheet can afford to one based on what investments are required to unlock growth in their customers and to create a stable demand platform for their suppliers; . New sources of funding for the expanded investment plans need to be mobilised, potentially including our development finance institutions, pension funds and big SOC customers; . The SOCs need to procure from their suppliers in a way that promotes investment in national industrial capabilities through providing medium term demand information and entering into longer terms relationships with key suppliers; . The Department needs to provide the Minister with relevant support for bi-monthly meetings with SOCs top management to monitor progress in the implementation of key efficiency enhancing initiatives; and . Coordination between the Department, the SOCs and all levels of government need to be improved to ensure SOCs capabilities are fully leveraged: that implementation is accelerated and that the impact of programmes is optimised.
