The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive on the Council’s corporate approach to performance management for 2016/17.

Resolved:-

(i)            That the corporate performance measures to be monitored via the Monthly Performance Report (MPR) for 2016/17, as set out at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be approved.

(ii)          That the corporate priority actions, to support implementation of the Council’s 2016/17 Corporate Priorities, as set out at Appendix 2 to the report, be approved. 

Reason for Decision

To ensure that measures and targets are in place by which the Council can assess its performance against its agreed corporate priorities.  

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.
