To agree the projects and measures within the 2014/15 corporate delivery plan.

THAT:

(a)       the corporate delivery plan be approved;

(b)       performance monitoring and delivery assurance arrangements are noted; and

(c)       assurance has been provided by directors that appropriate performance management systems are in place across all services, the Performance Plus corporate system is decommissioned.

Cabinet is asked to approve the projects that will be used to demonstrate how the priorities for the council are to be delivered. Quarterly reports will be presented to Cabinet on performance against delivery of the agreed projects and achievement of the measures, as well as a financial summary for each directorate.

Directorates will brief the relevant overview and scrutiny committee on performance issues on a quarterly basis.

It is open to Cabinet to amend or revise the proposals, but in doing so regard must be made to ensuring any changes continue to demonstrate how the corporate plan is to be implemented and that the proposals can be delivered within the agreed budget.
