Purpose:

Purpose: to approve the framework

Decisions:

Cabinet considered the report of the interim head of policy and programmes.  This proposed a performance management framework and a year one corporate delivery plan. 

 

The Cabinet member for corporate services reported that the performance management framework highlighted how Cabinet intended to measure performance against the council’s priorities in the corporate plan, together with providing opportunities for regular scrutiny. 

 

The framework provided the structure to monitor progress against priorities.  There would be quarterly and annual strategic reviews.  These would highlight where progress had been made, where there were challenges, areas where more emphasis was needed, and where priorities needed to change.  The framework would improve how individuals and teams worked together towards shared goals.  The focus would be on the highest priorities. 

 

The Cabinet member recommended the approval of the framework and the delivery plan, as set out in the report.  The Cabinet member added a further recommendation to authorise the correction of any typographical and formatting errors, and non-material changes to improve the presentation. 

 

Cabinet noted that an informal meeting of Scrutiny Committee members had made no suggestions to change the documents.  The meeting was in favour of the proposed approach and praised the report and appendices, believing them to be well-written and accessible. 

 

Cabinet supported the Cabinet member’s recommendations, believing that this provided a strong framework, which could be kept under review and adjusted as necessary. 

 

RESOLVED: to

 

(a)       approve the performance management framework;

 

(b)       approve the year 1 corporate delivery plan; and

 

(c)        authorise the interim head of policy and programmes, in consultation with the Cabinet member for corporate services, to make non-material changes, such as the correction of any spelling, grammatical, typographical or factual errors, together with any improvements from a presentational perspective, to the performance management framework and the year 1 corporate delivery plan.
