Reason

A corporate strategy is vital for identifying and gaining visibility of the council’s key priorities. These represent the objectives and outcomes that the council’s performance will be judged against.

The strategy’s objectives are the beginning of a golden thread that links personal, team and service performance to the things that matter most to the organisation and as such will be a vital component of the council’s performance management framework.

The strategy will influence the allocation and distribution of resources ensuring that the organisation commits its limited resources in accordance with its stated priorities.
