Agreed

The Chief Executive and Head of Improvement submitted a report that presented the proposed format and content of Corporate Scorecard for the 2009/10 through which the Council will monitor its priority targets around service delivery and organisational performance.  

Resolved

That the format and content of the proposed 2009/10 Corporate Scorecard be approved.

Reasons - The award of an Excellent rating under the national Comprehensive Performance Assessment inspection regime is clear evidence of the huge improvement in performance the Council has made since its previous assessment in 2004.  An important factor in delivering and sustaining this improvement has been a rigorous approach to performance management.  A key part of this has been our adoption of a scorecard approach which enables us to combine information on the delivery of our corporate priorities, our key services and the aspects of organisational performance that most support service delivery.
