Guildhall Workplace Utilisation Programme - Update Report

Report of the Town Clerk, Chamberlain and City Surveyor

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee received a joint report of The Town Clerk, The Chamberlain and the City Surveyor regarding the Guildhall Workplace Utilisation Programme.

 

The City Surveyor commented that the City Surveyor’s department was working closely with the IT division and Human Resources to progress each of the workstreams and, despite some delays, the IT Transformation Programme was producing good outputs, particularly with regards to remote working which was tested during the bad weather in early 2018 and the anticipated decant from Walbrook Wharf by the end of 2018.

 

With reference to the focus of the Agile Working Group on the introduction of new ways of working with new technologies and a shift of culture around behaviours and expectations, the Chairman commented that this report had been submitted to the Sub-Committee due to the significance of having the right IT Infrastructure in place across the City Corporation.  It was noted that investment into the project would continue to deliver important outcomes and better, more flexible ways of working across the organisation.

 

 

RESOLVED – That the report, and the progress being made in respect of the Guildhall Workplace Utilisation Programme, be noted.
