Project Overview:

Project Outcomes/Impact:

 As a result of Colin's support the following outcomes were delivered:

1. Creation of a structured and measurable service and organisational development programme as the foundation for and means of improving services, which was successfully cascaded to all officers and members;
2. Successful implementation of the organisational restructure;
3. Widespread ownership of the new Vision and Values across the Council;
4. The Council developed a clear and agreed understanding of its obligations and requirements including its relationship with and contribution to the community and key stakeholders
