Report of the Chamberlain

The Sub-Committee received a report of The Chamberlain regarding an update on the Change and Engagement Adoption plan. The report informed Members the since the IT transformation Programme completed in February 2018 there had been a steady increase in the adoption of new Office 365 technologies. The report also noted that IT Division continued to encourage further adoption including through the ‘Collaborate’ campaign and this would continue with the rollout of Microsoft Teams. The Head of Change and Engagement noted that there was an error in paragraph 2 and the ‘h’ should read ‘has’.

The Chairman highlight that the use of the Skype application was particularly useful for offsite working. A Member asked the IT team how best Members should organise the IT training and queried whether a more formal programme of training was due to be implemented. The director of IT clarified that Member training was planned to take place on a one to one basis on request by Members.

In addition, the Chairman highlighted the issue that City of London Corporation Licensing department wasn’t fully engaging with the SharePoint system. A Member noted that for some Members of City of London Corporation staff the use of applications such as Skype was not always practical due to working pattern.

Resolved- that the Change and Engagement Adoption plan be noted.
