Business
Plan |
|
| |
The
purpose of the Business Plan is to allow the
LEA to:
-
Identify its regulatory goals;
- Reduce
these to measurable targets;
- Set
out timeframe within which the work must
be done;
- Determine
appropriate resource requirements; and
- Establish
the Budget and Funding Plan.
|
The
detailed goals and targets have been incorporated
into departmental plans and will further be carried
forward into individual employee performance contracts.
This will enable responsibilities to be allocated
to employees to do the work, give a mechanism
to measure whether the work done met the performance
targets within the agreed timeframe, and provide
a process of redressing poor performance. The
Business Plan provides a 'picture' to stakeholders
of the direction LEA intends following, and the
priorities that it intends focusing on.
