Report of the Town Clerk.

The Sub-Committee considered a Report of the Town Clerk concerning the Corporate Performance Framework.

The report provided an update on progress with identifying and embedding metrics in Business Plans and corporate strategies so that the Corporation can target, track and drive performance against the Corporate Plan (2018-23).

Members highlighted the following points:

·         Departments have been asked to select a handful of corporate KPIs for inclusion in their 2020/21 Business Plans – currently the list of possible KPIs was too long, and there was a danger of administrative burden. Officers were asked to review and refine.

·         Members were concerned that the paper was too focussed on the horizontal i.e. a cross departmental approach; Members instead asked that offices drill down vertically on departments and requested that two example departments (including DCCS) are brought back to a future meeting of E&P.

RESOLVED – that the Sub-Committee noted the Report.

There were no questions.

There were no items of urgent business.
