Chief Executive's office Service Plan

Chief Executive’s office Service Plan 2008/09

The Chief Executive’s office contributes to the overall performance of Shropshire County Council by providing quality support services across all directorates through direct service delivery to local people, by providing a co-ordinating and facilitating role on overall performance and through joint working with partners.

The Service Plan for Chief Executive’s office is aimed primarily at the staff working in Chief Executive’s office.

The plan makes close connections with the Corporate Plan 2006 - 2011, (refreshed for 2008/09 onwards). A copy of the Corporate Plan is available from the Performance and Scrutiny Unit, or on line using the link on this page, and is structured around the six core values. By making appropriate connections and joining up our efforts with other directorates, we achieve the best outcomes for people in Shropshire.

It links with similar plans from other directorates to provide a record of what we are planning to do in 2008/09, and what we achieved in the past year 2007/08. Any weaknesses and details of where we fell short in achieving our targets are also described.

Plans do not stand still and, therefore, we will be monitoring our progress in working towards our objectives on a 6 monthly basis through a Corporate Performance Management system. This system includes regular reporting arrangements and auditing through the Corporate Support Services Scrutiny panel.

Looking forward to 2008/09 the Service plan identifies some key areas for improvement which support the whole Council in moving ahead. Looking back, the Service Plan identifies some major achievements during 2007/08.

A 6 month review will be reported to Corporate Support Services Scrutiny Panel in December 2008.
