Draft Corporate Strategy 2006 – 2009

Report: 03
Date: 10 October 2005
By: Commissioner

Summary

Draft corporate strategy 2006 – 2009.

A. Recommendation

That

1. Members use the draft corporate strategy, approved at Full Authority 29 September 2005, as the basis for the business plan submission to the Mayor.

B. Supporting information

1. Attached at Appendix 1 is the current draft of the Metropolitan Police Authority’s (MPA’s) and Metropolitan Police Service’s (MPS’s) Corporate Strategy, which forms the business planning element of the budget submission. The draft provides the overview of the strategic priorities and outcomes that will be achieved over the three-year period.

2. The strategy has been developed since February 2005, when the new Commissioner took up his post. The Mayor’s priorities for policing in London were an important factor in determining its focus and content. The draft was approved at the MPA Full Authority meeting on 29 September 2005.

3. The MPA Full Authority additionally agreed on 29 September the ten broad areas from the Service Review that will be taken forward for implementation. Each of these areas has been assigned a MPS Management Board lead. The detailed proposals will support the strategic priorities in the Corporate Strategy.

4. The draft Corporate Strategy, Service Review and Together, jointly set out the intention to transform the MPS over the medium-term. The operational outcomes sought in the strategy require co-ordinated commitment from all parts of the MPS. Similarly, the major change programmes, required to deliver the outcomes, cross the organisation and must therefore be co-ordinated if full benefits are to be realised. It is proposed that these pieces of work are now co-ordinated as an overall organisational change programme.

5. It will now be further refined before publication in March 2006. The detail of the priority areas will be established through the development of delivery plans.

6. This year, the MPA and MPS have made further significant improvements to the way in which the budget has been constructed to ensure it supports delivery of the developing Corporate Strategy. All budget bids were analysed and prioritised for their contribution to delivery of the corporate strategic priorities. The development of delivery plans will include cost information; the timescales for submission of the business plan and budget have not allowed this to be available now, beyond the information contained in the paper on the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP) and budget submission.

C. Race and equality impact

As part of the delivery plans, for the priorities arising from the Corporate Strategy, an equality impact assessment will be completed with the Diversity Directorate.

D. Financial implications

The financial implications of the Corporate Strategy are detailed in the budget plan being considered as a different agenda item by the Committee.

E. Background papers

None
