Decision details

To set out progress in delivering the Continuous Improvement Plan.

ORDERED that Executive approves the updated Continuous Improvement Plan.

AGREED that Executive notes the progress made in delivering the commitments within the Continuous Improvement Plan.

REASONS

Having a Continuous Improvement Plan that captured all strategic continuous improvement activity provided Members and officers with a comprehensive overview of improvement activity within the organisation as part of a framework of assurance reports. The plan ensured the Council was tracking this type of activity within one document. Successful delivery of continual improvement activity would improve the Council’s ability to deliver against its council plan ambitions. 

OPTIONS

The Council could have chosen to maintain multiple documents capturing continuous improvement activity; however, this would have been an inefficient approach and would have reduced Members’ ability to see a comprehensive overview of the Council’s ongoing activity in relation to continuous improvement.
