Report of Director of Corporate Services (report published on 23 February 2021)

(Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility Councillor Whitehead)

Cabinet received a report from the Director of Corporate Services to provide an update with regard to the status of corporate projects and performance indicators; and to set out plans for the future development of monitoring and reporting these including a review of corporate measures, and the establishment of online dashboards containing information relating to each of the Council’s priorities.

No options were provided. Cabinet was requested to consider the updates on projects and performance measures from March – December 2020 (Q1-Q3 2020-21) and approve in principle the approach to developing project, measure and resource monitoring and reporting as set out in the report.

Officers will work with the Cabinet sub-groups, advisory groups and external stakeholders during Q1 and Q2 2021/22 to put in place the new reporting framework and report back on progress each quarter. The changes will be iterative, and existing reporting will be improved to accommodate the new priorities, outcomes and measures.

Councillor Whitehead proposed, seconded by Councillor Hamilton-Cox:-

“That the recommendations, as set out in the report, be approved.”
