Decision details

RESOLVED:  That

(1)               the implementation of the Mobile and Flexible Working project, as set out in the report, be approved.

(2)               the Corporate Director Place Shaping, in consultation with the Leader and Portfolio Holder for Finance and Business Transformation and the Portfolio Holder for Performance, Customer Services and Corporate Services, be authorised to take all actions necessary to implement the project.

Reason for Decision:  To build on the enabling investments which are being implemented as part of the Councils IT contract, Transformation Programme, and business process and cultural change elements of the Transformation Programme.  The proposed investment is a key element of the Business Transformation Programme, which will totally transform the ability of the Council to deliver the right services, within budgets, at the time and place our residents demand.  To significantly contribute to the modernising of the Council’s ICT Infrastructure, business processes, data security, working practices and organisational culture, through adopting modern and proven ways of working, supported by best practice tools and techniques.  This investment will, over the course of the next few years, allow the Council to realise its vision of being a community hub for all residents’ services, collaborating and sharing with NHS, Police and partners alike, as well as facilitating a rationalisation of property assets.
