Decision details

RESOLVED:

(1)       That Cabinet endorse the outcomes set out at paragraph 8.2 of this report for the Shaping Our Future Programme, to be implemented by the Head of Paid Service.

(2)       That Cabinet endorse the terms of reference for a working group, attached at Appendix A, to be implemented by the Head of Paid Service.

(3)       The Membership of the Working Group be reconsidered.

REASONS FOR DECISIONS:

(1)       These recommendations are based on a need to create clarity about the purpose and need for Organisational Development and to clearly link this to the Councils Priorities and the Corporate Peer Challenge Action Plan.

(2)       The recommendations recognise that whilst much of the activity encompassed in the Shaping Our Future Programme is to do with the Management of the organisation and therefore focuses on officers it must be in line with the Councils Priorities. It is also important that values and behaviours are understood and demonstrated consistently by both officers and Members and that Members support and engage with the Shaping Our Future programme where it relates to them.

(3)       A working group will provide a focal point for ‘Shaping our Future’ and act to steer and facilitate actions that work towards the outcomes.
