Decision details

(Time: 4.12pm to 4.16pm)

The Executive received and considered report 189/06 of the Strategic Director and Monitoring Officer regarding the development of an organisational development programme, one of the Vale’s corporate priorities.  A new team had been set up to introduce the programme, using best practice guidance to build the capacity to deliver the Vale’s aspirations for improvement.   An iterative process of learning, development, consultation and review had produced six interlinked programmes within the overarching development programme.  The report sought approval of these programmes.

Members were pleased to see the introduction of the programme and noted that staff were enthusiastic about its aims to achieve higher service standards through the development of staff across the organisation.  The Executive considered that the programme should take into account Member resources also.  Members thanked the officers involved in the programme's development. 

RESOLVED    (by six votes to nil)

that the concept of the organisational development programme being made up of the six interlinked programmes, as outlined in report 189/06, be approved, subject to the programme also taking into account Member resources also.
