The Finance and Performance Policy Committee
considered a report of the Director of Finance and Commercial
Services which included current, historic and comparator data for
Outcome measures. In addition to measure data, the report included
more detailed narratives provided by measure owners on strengths
and challenges.
 
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Finance and Performance Policy Committee: -
 
-      
Note the Council Plan Outcomes Framework Q2 Report the measures
that evidence our improvements and show distance travelled against
each Council plan priority
-      
Agree to continue to receive quarterly reports that provide an
overview of performance against the Outcome measures, describing
performance strengths, challenges, interventions taken, and the
results of changes made
-      
Consider, and ask all other policy committees to consider, if
issues raised in this performance report should have further
scrutiny through the scheduling of time on the appropriate
committee work programme

Reasons for
Decision
 

9.3.1
 

The Outcomes Framework underpins how we
measure progress and monitor impact of the Council Plan. It is
aligned to our four-year Medium Term Financial Strategy and the
outcomes will increasingly become the focus for our budget,
Directorate and Service Plans.

 

 

9.3.2

The Council Plan Outcomes Framework 2
performance provides measurable evidence of distance travelled
against the Council Plan as part of a systematic process of robust
corporate performance reporting.

 

 

9.3.3

To ensure that Finance & Performance
Policy Committee contributes to the performance management process
and drives improvement across the organisation.

 

 

9.4

Alternatives
Considered and Rejected

 

 

9.4.1

Previous decisions made requires officers to
proceed with implementing the full performance framework to
underpin how we measure progress and monitor impact of the Council
Plan. It is aligned to our four-year Medium
Term Page 52 Financial Strategy and the outcomes will
increasingly become enabling elements for our priority-based budget
plans, Directorate and Service going forwards and set a key
deliverable for the Council.
 
Beyond some nuance of how we implement some
details of the framework, the measures, performance system and
reporting cycles are agreed, removing the alternative options
available for implementation of the framework.
