Achieving our priorities is key to our success, in order to do this we have established a series of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Accurate, Realistic, Timely) objectives to underpin each priority - these are outlined in our Strategic Plan 2005-10.
Workloads and 'improvement actions' are our route to realising our strategic objectives - our measures will tell us whether or not we have been successful.
Each year we consider all the workload and improvement actions facing our Authority - this year they have emanated in the main from the National Framework document, Comprehensive Performance Assessment and our Integrated Risk Management Plan. Other areas include, for example, new initiatives and legislation.
This year, as is usual, there were too many improvement actions to reasonably undertake in one year. In order to avoid setting ourselves up for failure we prioritised the actions across all levels of the organisation - to be achieved over a three year period - so that they can be resourced appropriately. | News in Brief - March 2007 |
