Prior to Covid Strategic, planning for transforming ways of working was being taken forward through the Improvement and Modernisation Programme (IMP) via the Flexible Working Project and thru the Property Asset Management Assessment (PAMA) via the Office Review project. Both projects were approved in the first phase of IMP in December 2018.

The Flexible Working Review/Expansion was underway prior to Covid and was seen as an enabler for the Office Review

The change in working practices as a result of Covid has increased the need to review office accommodation.

These elements were combined to form the Smarter Working project at the Council meeting on 28 September 2022 and strategic objectives agreed are shown here as a quick reminder.

Smarter Working is not just about where you work from but also about how we make best use of our assets, communicate and work with a shared purpose. We will build on the learning and experience that has already taken place through Covid.

A benefit mapping exercise has been undertaken and a set of performance indicators identified that will assist with monitoring the progress and success of the project – these are described in the outline business case in detail.
