As of next week I'll be moving (unofficially) to Mark Gordon's Directorate of Strategic Environmental Management. (Out of Dawie Kruger's Directorate of Planning, Biodiversity and Coastal Management).
The new sub-directorate that I will manage still has to undergo a formal Organisational and Development review but will in all likelihood become the sub-directorate of Biodiversity, Climate Change and Energy.
Climate Change and Energy will now become a dominant focus of my function as well as Biodiversity. I'm hoping to have the new sub-directorate comprehensively staffed soon (at last).
There will be other orgainsational changes to follow over the next few months to a year as we are in the throws of yet another departmental realignment (restructuring by another name!) Watch this space (blog)!
