Chamberlain's Department - Draft Departmental Business Plan 2018/19

Report of the Chamberlain.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Chamberlain regarding the Chamberlain’s Department’s Draft Business Plan for 2018/19. The report presented information on the draft high-level business plan, alongside the departmental estimate report.

 

Picking up on the wording in paragraph 5, the Chairman stressed that officers should be aiming for full alignment, not “closer alignment”, between the departmental business plans and the draft outcomes from the Corporate Plan. This was an important distinction that should be reiterated to relevant officers across the City Corporation.

 

Furthermore, the Chairman suggested that the Draft Business Plan currently contained a surfeit of bullet points, which had the unfortunate effect of diluting the key messages. The Chamberlain should look at refining the Plan to reduce the number of bullet points.

 

RESOLVED – that Members noted the Report.
