and some management KPIs.

1.    OPERATIONAL PLAN UPDATE

Only the major initiatives are included in the Operational Plan with day to day “business as usual”
activities included in Branch Plans.

The Branch Plans are being used by Managers to manage day to day activities. They are an
effective tool for ensuring that all of the “business as usual” activities are undertaken and that any
minor projects are followed through. They are reported to Council by Directors on a quarterly
basis and those reports are on this round of Council meetings.

Details of each Operational Plan project is set out in Attachment 1 with an assessment of
whether the issue in completed, on track or behind schedule. Comments are also provided for
the information of Councillors about the status of each issue. It is important to note that this is
“as at 31 December” i.e. the end of the first quarter and in some instances, the actions have been
advanced further since that time.

There are 32 initiatives in the 2019/20 Operational Plan. The current status of those projects is:
