Agenda item

(a)  That the progress of the implementation of the senior management restructure be noted.

(b)  That the next steps following the appointments of the Service Leads which may lead to further programmes of restructuring in the service areas in line with the agreed processes be noted.

The Interim Chief Executive introduced an information report that updated the Cabinet on the progress of the implementation of the senior management restructure.

The new directorate structure had come into effect on 2^nd October 2017 and external recruitment was underway for the small number of service lead posts that had not been successfully recruited to internally.  All new Service Leads were reviewing their service areas to ensure the structures were aligned to the delivery of the Five Year Plan and the review process may lead to undertaking further restructures if required.  These would be processed in line with the current procedures for undertaking change programmes.

Speaking under Rule 30, Councillor Anderson asked about the structure of the new Regeneration directorate given that it had fewer service leads.  The Director of Regeneration explained how he envisaged the directorate working.  At the conclusion of the discussion, the report was noted.

Resolved –

(a)  That the progress of the implementation of the senior management restructure be noted.

(b)  That the next steps following the appointments of the Service Leads which may lead to further programmes of restructuring in the service areas in line with the agreed processes be noted.
