Green Flags
• Organisational changes have been implemented in the areas of – Project and Programme Management– Transactional Finance
• Organisational Structures finalised, approved and implemented for– Marketing and Communications– Democratic Services– Procurement– Organisational Development and Training– Transactional HR
• Corporate Procurement Savings plan agreed by Members 11 May 2009 and is likely to over-achieve against the financial targets for 2009/10 of £4.8M
• Some issues still remain– Restructure of Sustainable Regeneration– Transactional HR/Finance structures in place but reliant on delivery of key ICT
products
Slide 5
Amber Flags
• Management Structures– Posts have been agreed (73 posts) but confirmation still awaited from
some Directorates that posts have been removed– Next stage to move from 73 to 120 overall reduction in FTE
• Strategy, Policy, Performance and Partnerships– Structures approved 3 August with a likely phased implementation
running from 1 October 2009 to April 2010– Possible shortfall for 09/10 but anticipated to over-achieve in 10/11
• Admin– Campus structure approved 5 August 2009 – Implementation date of September 2009 of new Campus models starting
with main Civic– Campus Managers appointed for Civic and Crompton– Possible shortfall for 09/10
Slide 6
Red Flags
• Customer Services– Key challenge is to complete the Delivery Plan for roll-out of corporate
front end solutions– Focus of work is in the areas of CHSC and Children’s – Delivery plans to be finalised early September – Workshops currently being undertaken with target Directorates to deliver
this– Children’s Services to establish a Task Force by end August to deliver all
Think Efficiency themes with primary focus on Customer Services – There have been mixed levels of engagement with key Directorates
although at present time engagement is good– Resulting squeeze on timeline for successful implementation during
2009/10 so therefore delivery of efficiencies at risk
Slide 7

– SAP modules– Electronic Content Management (ECM “Documentum”)– Reddot (web content management)– Single Business Account– Moodle (e tutor)– GIS plus LLPG– Single Customer Account plus additional development of CRM
