Issue - items at meetings - Monitoring Progress with the Shared Vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole

BCP Council adopted ‘A Shared Vision for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 2024-28’ in May 2024.

The Shared Vision is the corporate strategy which sets out the Council’s vision, priorities and ambitions as well as the principles which underpin the way the council works as it develops and delivers its services.

Incorporated in the Vision are a set of measures of progress for achieving the vision, priorities and ambitions.

This is the first quarterly performance monitoring report for the Vision, presenting an update on the progress measures. The intention is for the focus areas outlined in the vision to be included in the performance report at Q2.

The vision can also be monitored through a new performance dashboard which is available on the Council’s website providing up-to-date real time information on the progress measures.

(a) considered the quarter one performance;

An understanding of performance against targets, goals and objectives helps us assess and manage service delivery and identify emerging business risks.
