To receive and consider the report of the Deputy Chief Executive.

To approve the refreshed Transformation Strategy 2021 – 2024.

Councillor Peter Wilson, Executive Member (Resources), presented the report of the Deputy Chief Executive which outlined the Transformation Strategy 2021 – 2024.

The refresh of the 2016 Transformation Strategy realigns the strategy and programme with the current context and future priorities. The purpose of the Transformation Strategy is to be the framework through which overarching change programmes for the Council will be effectively co-ordinated and managed.

The key themes of this strategy are around how the Council is reshaping the workforce, workplace and ways of working to achieve sustainability, making the best use of technology to deliver efficiency and inform service delivery with the aim of being in the best position to take advantage of commercial investments and income generation opportunities to support the financial base.

Decision:

To approve the refreshed Transformation Strategy 2021 – 2024.

Reasons for recommendation(s):

To approve the refreshed Transformation Strategy 2021 – 2024.

Alternative options considered and rejected:

To continue using the Transformation Strategy 2016. While many of the themes of the 2016 strategy remain, the context around these themes has changed, and without this refresh the strategy would fail to realign the priorities and programme of work with the current context.
