Report of Chief Executive

The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive detailing the Council’s corporate approach to performance management for 2017/18.

Resolved:-

1.    That the Corporate Priority Performance Indicators to be monitored via the Monthly Performance Report (MPR) for 2017/18, as set out at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be approved.

2.    That the MPR will also include a small basket of indicators (as outlined in paragraph 4.3 of the report) relating to areas where the Council does not have lead responsibility or direct control.

3.    That the Corporate Priority Actions, to support implementation of the Council’s 2017/18 Corporate Priorities, as set out at Appendix 2 to the report, be approved.

Reason for Decision

To identify corporate measures and targets against which the Council’s performance can be monitored and managed effectively

Other options

1. Significantly increasing the numbers of performance measures and indicators. This would place significant pressure on available resources to undertake the necessary monitoring, and would result in diverting resources from other priority areas.

2. Not identifying any Corporate Priority Actions or Indicators. This would leave the Council unable to monitor its performance against its key priorities or to assess whether resources are appropriately allocated.
