Purpose

To consider the report of the Leader of the
Council providing a high level overview of the performance of the
organisation.

Decision

(i) 
To agree the new key performance indicators aligned to the new SCC
Corporate Plan outcomes and priorities as set out at Appendix
3.
(ii) 
To note the quarter one performance report set out at Appendix
1.

Reasons for the decision

1. 
Embedding a consistent and effective performance reporting process
is important for the organisation to effectively manage its
services and finances, improve processes and outcomes and to
deliver on transformation objectives.
2. 
The key performance indicators for 2025-26 have been aligned to the
priorities in the new SCC Corporate Plan ensuring a robust
framework against which to judge the council’s performance on
priority areas.

Alternative options considered

No corporate reporting process in place, with
reporting ad-hoc or on request. Rejected as regular and transparent
performance reporting is essential for the council to effectively
manage its business.
