Issue - meetings

We received a new organisational structure for the Council’s IT Services (ITS) which sought delegated authority to finalise the structure. We noted that advice received from the Head of ICT and e-Government Strategy at the London Borough of Waltham Forest would be included in the final report and that the concerns expressed by Unison, set out in appendix 5 to the report, would be subject to further member input via the General Purposes Committee and the Executive. 

RESOLVED

1)     That the drivers for this restructure (set out in section 7 of the report) be noted and that the timescale for the implementation had been necessitated by the high cost and risks associated with the current temporary staffing situation. 

2)     To note the external challenge to which these proposals have been subjected.

3)     That the Senior Management and Functional ITS structure proposed within this report (as set out in full in Appendix 4) and in so far as it pertains to Executive functions in relation to, inter alia, service delivery and financial issues; be approved.
