Performance and Partnerships Restructure

Decision Maker: Executive Member (Resources)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

Recommendations approved.

 

Reasons for recommendations

1.         The proposed structure seeks to consolidate the progress made on embedding performance across the organisations, reinforcing an advisor led approach.  This approach would embed an advisor led service model to engage with senior managers at the service head level, providing advice and guidance on projects, business plans and performance holistically.

 

2.         Approval of the recommendations will:

·      Strengthen the organisation’s approach to performance and project management, addressing key areas for improvement,

·      Align the team to support the new senior management structure, supporting heads of service with a clear and defined business offer,

·      Resolve existing temporary roles within the structure and address vacancies.

·      Provide effective line management arrangements.

 

Other options considered and rejected

The review is limited and focused on a small team, which supports both Councils under its shared service arrangements.  Whilst the status quo could continue, the current structure would present limitations in terms of development and future performance. Therefore, the option to maintain the current status of the service has been discounted.
