COUNCIL PLAN
OUTCOMES FRAMEWORK – Q1 BASELINE REPORT
 
The Finance and Performance Policy Committee
considered a report of the Director of Finance and Commercial
Services which presented the first Outcomes Framework report to
Committee which included current, historic and comparator data,
where available.
 
RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Finance and Performance Policy Committee: -
 
1. Note the Council Plan Outcomes Framework Q1
Baseline Report the starting point for the measures that evidence
our improvements and show distance travelled against each Council
plan priority.
2. Agree to continue to receive quarterly
reports that provide an overview of performance against the Outcome
measures, describing performance challenges, interventions taken,
and the results of changes made.
3. 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.

aligned to our four-year Medium Term Financial Strategy and the
outcomes will increasingly become the focus for our budget,
Directorate and Service Plans.

systematic process of robust corporate performance reporting.

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 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.

 

 

9.4.2

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.
