Corporate Improvement Networks
A key component of the BCPC’s workplan for 2022-23 has been the pursuit of a Corporate Improvement Programme, which was guided by a range of planning guidance setting out the following expectation:
“Systems should develop a plan for corporate services transformation and, where appropriate, consolidation.”
Early work commenced to establish some baselines by understanding the current operating model, future options for an operating model and the barriers to achieve this across an initial eight corporate function areas.
The work programme was re-invigorated in the late summer under a new Senior Responsible Officer. Working with the BCPC Managing Director and Head of PMO, where a:
- Responsible Officer for each corporate function area was identified,
- Revised programme of work was established
- Programme of initial review meetings was progressed.
In February 2023 the Collaborative Executive requested that the work programme be re-focused on a small number of areas (referred to as Phase 1A) to accelerate progress before moving on to subsequent phases. This refocus is outlined as follows:
- Human Resources (Workforce)
- Payroll
- Procurement
- Communications, Marketing and Engagement
- Data, Digital and Technology
- Estates and Facilities
- Governance and Legal
- Finance
